The dead CRPF men in Pampore.
Entire Opposition staged a walk out from the Lower House amid anti-government slogans alleging state government was “playing hide and seek” on security related developments in J&K.
Opposition led by National Conference on Wednesday had asked PDP-BJP government to give a detailed statement on the “grave security situation” of J&K.
Deputy Chief Minister, Dr Nirmal Singh, read out a prepared statement in which he lauded role of forces based in Kashmir.
He said given the “Fidayeen attack” on CRPF in Pampore on last Saturday, “there many chances of civilian casualties”. “They (CRPF) had arms and ammunition with them but they exercised maximum restraint,” Dr Singh said.
“If CRPF would have retaliated then definitely there would been civilian casualties,” Dr Singh added, “but we should appreciate CRPF men who faced the attack and didn’t react.”
He said there were 14 militancy related cases in June 2016.
“8 CRPF men were killed while 27 others were injured,” he said, “but our forces have been showing utmost professional behaviour.”
He said in current there has been “110% increase in militant killings while there is a drop in civilian killings by 11 %”.
However, Opposition which silently listened to Dy CM, was unsatisfied. “You have given statement on Pampore attack but what about the grave security situation across J&K,” NC’s A M Sagar asked government.
NC and Congress later walked out of the house.
