Srinagar: Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Tuesday
accused separatists of encouraging violence in Jammu and
Kashmir and alleged that their politics was surviving on
bloodshed.
"Certain politicians and their politics survive on
bloodshed, disturbance and miseries of people. They want to
put the society in economic distress and make people jobless
to satisfy their mindset," Omar told a public gathering at
Khalifapora in old city here.
The CM said separatist leadership is putting poor people
before bullets to play politics of vested interests.
Accusing separatists of encouraging violence, he said
when 20 years of violence could not transfer even an inch of
land from one side to another, how can stone-hurling change
the political situation.
"How our children will achieve excellence and higher
goals in education?. How can our artisans, small shopkeepers,
labours and taxi operators earn their bread and butter when
they are compelled to remain at home due to hartals and stone
pelting?" he asked.
