SRINAGAR, Oct 10: Former Chief Minister Omar Abdullah today hit out at militants for targeting the Entrepreneurship Development Institute (EDI), saying the ultras don’t want young Kashmiri boys and girls to stand on their feet.
“All the EDI ever did was to train young Kashmiri boys and girls to stand on their own feet and not seek Government jobs. Militants don’t like that!”, Omar tweeted.
The militants today attacked the EDI building in Pampore for the second time this year with the first attack taking place in February.
“No wonder for the 2nd time this year they have attacked the institute.They want young Kashmiris to be subservient and bitter not self-reliant,” Omar added.
In another tweet, the National Conference working president hit out at the Centre for its “blase” attitude towards the security situation in Jammu and Kashmir.
“Every day it’s either militants snatching guns or then militants staging attacks. How can the Centre be so blas about where J&K is headed?”, Omar said.
