Former Chief Minister and National Conference (NC) vice president Omar Abdullah on Friday said militancy in Kashmir was reviving in areas where his government eradicated it.
“People from minorities, police personnel and civilians are being targeted and killed. It’s sad that innocent people are getting killed and targeted in crossfire. We were told Article 370 was the reason for separatist mentality. Over two and a half years have passed, the situation is yet to improve. Militancy has revived in areas like Srinagar and parts of north Kashmir, where we eradicated it,” Mr. Abdullah said in Jammu.
