Omar's surrender policy will promote gun culture in J&K: BJP

Criticising Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Omar Abdullah's surrender policy for militants held across the LoC, state BJP today said the step will promote gun culture in the state.

"The state is already in the grip of militancy with both local and foreign militants carrying out their subversive activities and bringing militants from across the border under pretext of surrender would prove counter productive for the security of the state and nation," BJP president Shamsher Singh Manhas told reporters here.

He urged the chief minister to abandon the idea as it will prove dangerous for the nation and also for J&K.
