Reacting towards the former chief minister Mehbooba’s remarks that scholar rebel Manan Wani was a victim of violence, Omar Abdullah former chief minister said that Mufti is suffering from short memory and she forget that she was architect and beneficiary of ‘relentless violence in Kashmir’.
Taking to social networking site Twitter Omar wrote: “How short Ms Mufti’s memory is! She forgets that she was the architect & beneficiary (it kept her allies in good humour) for her entire period in office. She is in no position to criticise anyone for ‘relentless violence’.”

“She headed the Unified Command which directed the security forces to execute “Operation All-out” & she famously justified the killing of young protestors in 2016 saying “they aren’t coming out to buy milk or toffees”,” Omar tweeted.
“Ms Mufti’s Govt made every effort to trap & kill Manan Wani coming close a few times. Her fake sympathy & crocodile tears for dead Kashmiri militants worked for a few years, they won’t work again,” Omar wrote in another tweet.

Earlier former Chief Minister and Peoples Democratic Party president Mehbooba Mufti said that Manan Wani was a victim of relentless violence in Kashmir.
“Pushing youth to the wall will be counter productive.Centre must intervene in withdrawing cases against students & AMU authorities must revoke their suspension .The respective State governments outside JK should be sensitive to the situation & prevent further alienation. It will be a travesty to punish them for remembering their former colleague who was a victim of relentless violence in Kashmir,” Mehbooba tweeted.
Manan Wani and his associate Ashiq Hussain Zargar were killed in a gunfight in Shatgund village of north Kashmir’s Handwara town on Thursday.
