Congress, allies sabotaged Jammu’s national projects: Dr Jitendra Singh
The minister further alleged that the Congress also denied 4% reservation to the people living along the International Border in this region.
Former Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir Omar Abdullah on Wednesday, while condemning the attack on a school bus termed stone-pelters as “goons”, and added that they are misusing the amnesty granted to them.
Two students were injured as a school bus was attacked in Zavoora area of South Kashmir’s Shopian district by stone-pelters on Wednesday.
In a series of tweets Omar Abdullah condemned saying, “The amnesty granted to stone-pelters was meant to encourage more reasonable behaviour but some of these goons are determined to use the opportunity given to them to just pelt more stones”.
