Srinagar, July 16: Chief Minister Omar Abdullah today blamed Hurriyat Conference Chairman, Syed Ali Shah Geelani, of exploiting the tragic accident in Srinagar by calling for shut down and protests.
Omar wrote on microblogging social networking site twitter: “The accident happened with an army truck but it was an accident, not a deliberate action. I hope better sense & cooler heads prevail.”
In another tweet, Chief Minister said: “Only in Kashmir can a tragic accident be exploited by ordering a 2 day shutdown & protests after Friday prayers. Height of exploiting pain.”
Omar offered condolences to the families of those who were killed in road mishaps. “The deaths in the two road accidents in Kishtwar & Srinagar are extremely tragic. My heartfelt condolences to the families of the deceased”, he wrote.
