JAMMU: Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti today rejected the opposition demand for setting up of an inquiry commission into the recent unrest in the Valley even as she blamed NC and Congress for sowing the “seeds” of the turmoil in the State.
On the opening day of the Budget session of the Assembly here, she said the alliance of 1987 between NC (National Conference) and Congress had led to the weapons being given to the youth of Kashmir.
She was responding after Congress member Rigzin Jora blamed the “unholy alliance” of PDP and BJP in the State for the turmoil in the Valley which erupted in July last year and continued for over five months.
He also demanded setting up of a commission to probe last year’s unrest that was triggered by the killing of Hizbul Mujahideen commander Burhan Wani in an encounter.
“Some people here say that a commission should be set up to probe it (unrest). But just yesterday I received the report of the (Justice M L) Koul Commission set up to probe the 2010 killings. Let us first fix the responsibilities in it (2010 killings) and talk of new commission only after reading that report,” the Chief Minister said, responding to Jora’s demand.
She was referring to the unrest of 2010 during the NC- Congress rule when Omar Abdullah was the Chief Minister. (AGENCIES)
