National Conference Vice President Omar Abdullah Monday claimed his party would not support any policy to punish relatives of terrorists as it is against natural justice.
Omar also clarified no terrorist was given government jobs by previous dispensation in J&k. Interacting with reporters after addressing a public rally Omar Abdullah also raised issue of “misuse of police against civilian population”.
“No terrorist was given a (government) job but we did not punish people because they were relatives of terrorists. Is it fair for me to punish you for the crime committed by your father or a son? Tomorrow, if God forbid a close relative of (Lt Governor) Manoj Sinha Sahab commits a crime, should he be sent to jail?” the former chief minister said.
