Sagar concerned over escalating incidents of violence

Srinagar, Nov 2: National Conference (NC) General Secretary and MLA Khanyar Ali Muhammad Sagar Saturday expressed deep concern over the worsening security situation in Kashmir, calling for increased accountability to address escalating incidents of encounters.

In a statement released from the party headquarters, Sagar condemned the attack in the strongest possible terms, emphasising that NC has always stood against violence in all its forms and manifestations. “Our party president has time and again denounced violence. Such acts only leave behind a trail of chaos and destruction,” he said.

Demanding a thorough investigation into the recent surge of attacks across Kashmir, especially the one that occurred in the heart of the city in Khanyar, Sagar said, “The increase in attacks, particularly in such a prominent location, calls into question the validity of claims suggesting a decline in militancy following the abrogation of Articles 370, 35A. The Home Ministry, responsible for maintaining law and order through the LG, must address these issues transparently.”
