Srinagar August 4 :CM Mehbooba even instructed the police to apologise to the Kashmiri youth for the killing of Hizbul Mujahideen commander Burhan Wani. “The CM’s appeasement policy has set the entire valley on fire. There’s no law and order, with everybody feeling insecure,” the officer said.

J&K CM Mehbooba Mufti, was also heckled by parents of students appearing for medical entrance test at the Government Women’s College in Srinagar last Sunday and had to beat a hasty retreat from the examination centre.

Nearly all BJP ministers and MLAs have left for the “safer” haven of Jammu.

Cops have been forced to evacuate nearly 10 police posts and stations in south Kashmir under attack by mob.

J&K police are having to face attacks on their houses, and their relatives are not being spared either. The main police station in militancy-stricken Tral is shut, as are police posts in Kanginoora and Chattrigam in the district.

In south Kashmir’s Pulwama district, Dhamal Hanjipora, Arwani, Lassipora and Yaripora police stations are shut. Cops in these posts have taken shelter in CRPF or Army camps, sources said. A source said policemen, including some officers, in these areas are having to hide their identity cards.

The CM has instructed cops to remain invisible from the roads and streets. This, according to her, said sources, would douse the anger of protesters. A senior police officer, on condition of anonymity, said Mehbooba even instructed the police to apologise to the Kashmiri youth for the killing of Hizbul Mujahideen commander Burhan Wani. “The CM’s appeasement policy has set the entire valley on fire. There’s no law and order, with everybody feeling insecure,” the officer said.

Reportedly, Mehbooba Mufti also instructed policemen to remain invisible from the roads and streets, a report in TOI claimed quoting a senior police officer who spoke on condition of anonymity.

J&K CM Mehbooba Mufti yesterday claimed security forces were unaware of Hizbul Mujahideen commander Burhan Wani’s presence at the scene of the July 8 encounter. “How can one know everything about every encounter?” Mehbooba asked, adding, “As far as I know, what I heard from the police and the army, who said they only knew that there were three militants inside the house but did not know who they were.”

Earlier, CM Mufti had shocked everyone when she said that security forces were not aware that Burhan Wani was among the three Hizbul Mujahideen terrorists gunned down on July 8 during the raid of a militant hideout in Kokernag area of southern Anantnag.

Mufti said the security forces “may have given him a second chance,” if they knew his identity.

This statement by CM Mufti drew her severe flak from various sections.
