Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed on Sunday condemned the successive terror attacks in Samba and Kathua districts of the state, calling it a ‘conspiracy’ to affect the peace process in the state. “It is highly condemnable. This is a conspiracy to affect peace process in Jammu and Kashmir. Unanimous resolution must be passed by the Assembly, strongly condemning such attacks,” Mufti said in the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly.
“If Pakistan wants good relations and peaceful dialogue with India, they must control terrorism, there is no other way than that,” he added.
Earlier in the day, the state assembly witnessed an uproar as Bharatiya Janata Party MLAs raised anti-Pakistan slogans.
Brigadier RS Rana had on Saturday said the possibility of the presence of terrorists in Samba district could be ruled out, adding it appears that those responsible for the Samba terror attack came from Pakistan. Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh had also assured that all necessary actions were being followed with regard to the militant attack on an army camp in Samba.
The Samba attack came less than 24 hours after six people, including two militants, were killed in an attack on the Rajbagh police station in the state's Kathua district. Mufti had said on Friday held non-state actors responsible for the attack on the police station in Kathua.
The Chief Minister said the terror attacks that took place in Kathua and Samba in the last 48 hours were nothing new as such type of attacks have been happening for long. He also noted that Pakistan itself was a victim of extremism. "They (terrorists) are not being taught Islam, I don't know what they are being taught so they go out to kill people.
When I took over as the chief minister for the first time they launched an attack on the Raghunath Temple in Jammu." He said in the past two three years such attacks have taken place with even heads being decapitated on the borders.
Congress Legislative party leader Nawang Rigzin Jora wanted an explanation from the chief minister as to why he termed the terrorists as "non-state actors." "Why do you call terrorists non-state actors" Jora asked to which Mufti replied, "Those who attack churches, those who attacked Pesahwar, Lakhvi what are they." Mufti said the House must show a unified face in the wake of such attacks and pass a resolution condemning such attacks in a unanimous voice.
