Speaking first time about the Kokernag encounter in which popular militant commander Burhan Wani was killed on July 08, 2016 evening, Chief Minister Ms Mehbooba Mufti on Thursday said that she was not aware about who was inside the house when encounter took place.
Talking to reporters after chairing the PDP’s Foundation Day at party headquarters near Municipal Park here, Ms Mufti said, “police and army told me that three militants were hiding inside the house (Bemdoora Village of Kokernag) but they did not know their identifications.”
When asked if forces knew Burhan was present in the house, Ms Mufti said, “if they (forces) knew that he (Burhan) was there then one more chance might have been given to him as situation was improving (in the state).”
Reverting back to 2013, Ms Mufti referred to NC-Congress coalition as how Omar led government had “prepared itself to meet the aftermath” of Afzal Guru hanging. “They (Omar government) had taken all the measures but we didn’t know it,” Ms Mufti, who is also Home Minister of J&K, said, “we suddenly came to know about it.”
The CM further added, “since then, we imposed curfew so that youths don’t come out (of their homes). But youths moved to other areas and people took them inside (army) camps.”
