SRINAGAR, Apr 10: Former chief minister Omar Abdullah today welcomed registration of FIR against Kathua lawyers who blocked the Crime Branch officials from presenting charge sheet against accused in rape and murder case.
He, however, cornered the government over the remarks made by two Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) ministers in support of the accused. Omar alleged that mob was emboldened by their words.
Omar’s response came in reaction to Jammu and Kashmir police filing FIR against the Kathua based lawyers who obstructed the Crime Branch officials while filing challan against the accused in the case.
Lauding police action, Omar said two BJP ministers are responsible for instigating the mob, who later masqueraded as lawyers obstructing officials to file challan.
In his remark on social networking website, Twitter, Omar wrote: “While appreciating action by @JmuKmrPolice against the Kathua mob masquerading as lawyers let’s not forget the mob were emboldened by the actions/words of two BJP ministers in @MehboobaMufti’s cabinet. What about action against them?”
