New Delhi: National Conference leader Farooq Abdullah Monday said the targeted killings will continue to take place “until justice is served.”
He said that earlier it was alleged that such killings happen due to Article 370 which has now been abrogated “so why such killings haven’t stopped? Who’s responsible?”
Meanwhile, an all-party meeting is being held at the residence of Abdullah in Jammu on the electoral roll revision, ahead of the assembly elections likely to be held next year.
Recently on Saturday, a Kashmiri Pandit named Puran Krishan Bhat was attacked while he was on his way to an orchard in Shopian. The millitants fired on him and then, he succumbed to his injuries.
Condemning the incident, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Jammu and Kashmir chief Ravinder Raina said the conspiring culprits would be turned to dust.
“All the conspiracies of Pakistan and terrorists will be made unsuccessful. Those who conspired to target a Kashmiri Pandit will have to bear the brunt,” Jammu and Kashmir BJP chief Ravinder Raina.
“The Army-Police have put up check nakas, and the conspiring terrorists will be turned to dust,” he added.
Terror outfit Kashmir Freedom Fighters claimed responsibility for killing the Kashmiri Pandit in the Shopian district, said Jammu and Kashmir Police.
Deputy Inspector General (DIG) Sujit Kumar said, “A Kashmiri Pandit Puran Ji has been murdered. We are working on the case. KFF (Kashmir-freedom-fighters) has claimed the responsibility for it. We won’t say anything for sure about it, yet. A guard was present here.”

DIG Kumar further said, “We are ascertaining the reason, he had gone out on his scooter and had returned on it. He wasn’t alone, they were two people.”
He continued, “If the incident occurred in presence of the guard who was deployed here, action will cover not only him but all concerned officers in the area.”
