Jammu & Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Sunday met Prime Minister Manmohan Singh here and raised the issue of Army’s controversial decision to close the Pathribal fake encounter case, saying punishment should be meted to those responsible for killing of innocent people.
Omar also emphasised the need for giving justice to the families of the victims, an official spokesman here said. The Chief Minister also discussed suspension of trade across line of Control(loC) after the seizure of truck load of contraband drugs and called for amicable resolution of the matter with Pakistan so that the important Confidence Building Measure(CBM) of trade across the loC is not jeopardised.
India and Pakistan last Thursday failed to break the two-week-old deadlock over the cross-loC trade. During the meeting at Raj Bhavan, the Prime Minister was briefed about the peace and development scenario prevailing in the State at present.
