National Conference (NC) president and MP Farooq Abdullah on Friday condemned the killing of Apni Party leader Ghulam Hassan Lone in Kulgam district.

Terming the incident as barbaric and gruesome, Abdullah said such acts of violence will hinder the return of peace to J&K. “Such despicable and horrendous acts of violence only leave behind a trail of lifelong miseries. The trend of political assassinations that has set in is very worrying and of great concern,” he said.

Recalling his repeated expression of concern and detestation against such incidents, he said the aloof and hand-off approach of the administration has imperiled the security of mainstream leaders. — PTI
