Jammu and Kashmir: Deeply saddened by the events that happened in J&K in last 24 hours, former chief minister Omar Abdullah surrounded the Hurriyat leaders and said that this is the result of the ineptitude and inactivity of the state government.

“Every new, tragic and saddening news of a gutted school is a verdict on the incompetence and inaction of the state government. We also hope huriyat leaders gather the courage to say the right thing and don’t allow the street to dictate their agenda and their sense of right and wrong” Former CM Abdullah said.

“You cannot aspire for the moral lecterns of self-righteous leadership without having the courage of your conviction to call a spade a spade. Persecuting your own people cannot be portrayed or disguised as alleged resistance based on a political cause. Robbing our children of their classrooms and of the academic growth is the greatest act of tyranny and oppression” he added.

“Schools are centers of learning and enlightenment and an attack on the schools is an attack on our collective dignity and self-respect and will not be tolerated at any cost” he further added.

Yesterday a government school was burnt by unidentified people in Anantnag district of Jammu & Kashmir. Three schools have been burnt consecutively since yesterday in the state.
