Farooq Abdullah’s remarks on threats to Kashmiri Pandits trigger controversy
National Conference leader Farooq Abdullah has claimed there is a conspiracy behind the threats issued to Kashmiri Pandits, suggesting the goal is to spread fear and block Jammu and Kashmir from achieving statehood. He questioned why only Kashmiri Hindus are being targeted, asking, "What about the Hindu police officers from outside the region, like the DG, DIG, and SP? Why aren't they receiving these threats?" In response, BJP spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari labeled Abdullah's comments as pro-terror and offensive to the Kashmiri Hindu community.
