National Conference leader Omar Abdullah tdoay questioned the “silence” of Prime Minister Narendra Modi about incidents of violence against Kashmiris in some parts of the country in the aftermath of the recent attack on a CRPF convoy in Pulwama.
“Dear PM @narendramodi Sahib, can we please have a few words of condemnation for the systematic attacks directed against Kashmiri students & others or does your concern not extend as far north as Kashmir?”, Abdullah asked in a series of tweets.

“Having seen the video doing the rounds on social media of a young Kashmiri man being beaten up in Kolkata I’ve been in touch with @derekobrienmp & @MamataOfficial regarding the matter. The culprits have been identified & strongest possible action has been assured,” Abdullah said.
“The young man being beaten has also been contacted by the administration & is being looked after. Am grateful for the swift response @MamataOfficial didi,” he added.
Abdullah also expressed his gratitude to Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh for ensuring safety of Kashmiris in his State.
“A special thanks to @capt_amarinder Sahib for his statesmanship in ensuring security & safety for Kashmiris,” he said. (PTI)
