Why pellet guns not used to control Dera violence, asks Omar Abdullah

[hassamun]

Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah questioned why pellet guns and human shields were not used to control mob violence in Haryana, wondering whether the forces kept them "only for protesting Kashmiris", but withdrew his tweets "unconditionally" after deaths were reported in the violence.

Omar Abdullah also demanded sacking of Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar, stating that the latter had enough time to prepare before the situation got out of hand.

"Chilli bombs? Pepper grenades? Pellet guns? Do the forces keep those only for protesting Kashmiris?," Omar said in a tweet.

"No human shields in Panchkula? Tried & tested crowd control technique much appreciated in many TV news studios not long ago," he said, as thousands of supporters of Dera chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim indulged in violence after his conviction in a rape case.

The National Conference leader however unconditionally withdrew his tweets, without deleting them, following the reports of rising death toll.

"Although I'd tweeted it before any deaths took place I can't help feeling that my tweet about the pellet guns is inconsiderate & misplaced," he said.

"There is no point deleting it but I do withdraw it unconditionally with my condolences to the families of all deceased & prayers for injured," he added.

At least 30 people were killed as security forces fired at rampaging mobs at Panchkula, Haryana.
"Good God. This madness needs to end & end now. No man, much less a convicted rapist, is worth this much death and destruction," Omar reacted.
Omar also said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi should sack the Haryana Chief Minister.
"PM Modi should sack his Haryana CM for gross dereliction of duty. The CM had more than enough time to prepare for this eventuality."

For information 36 have died in Police firing...

Omar needs to be whipped. He's trying to build mass hysteria in Kashmir against the impending removal of Article 35A.

Real guns are being used. Strange that seasonal liberals all over the country who usually cry when a Kashmiri stone pelter or a terrorist die, are very silent on human rights violation in this case . Instead they are demanding more killings.

A tight slap on those who tried to compare ..... In fact it was dealt very very strongly in comparison.....

 

[Star Wars]

Kashmir violence should be delt with the way Dera violence was delt with. Use real guns...

This J&K CM is not a very smart dude. The live rounds have been used, and he is talking about rubber bullets? Anyway, India is lucky there was no headline news like "massacre on peaceful demonstrators by New Delhi " , which would certainly be the case had it happened in China.

We used real guns to control dera rioters. Let's do some real comparison Mr Abdullah -
The state should also auction the belongings of Hurriyat and agitators as a compensation for the loss of property and sedition should be charged on those who gave hate speech and attacked army or police like they did in dera case.

India is very lucky. Just imagine id this happened in China.

Bro the demonstrators were anything but peaceful. The state showed maximum restraint against them but they started rioting in masses and Burned down public property, all against the ruling of a court which jailed there guru/leader. It was the responsibility of the state to curb them by any possible means once the protests became violent.

So were the demonstrators in Tienanmen square, but it didn't stop the biased reports from western media. And it certainly didn't stop our Indian friends to refer to "Tienanmen massacre" over and over again.

Don't get me wrong, I am in full support to jail that bastard.

IS Omar Abdullah keeping company with Rahul Gandhi ????

You guys used tanks on protesters. Tienanmen was a protest for the right to self determination by the Chinese people. However, I agree violent protests causing loss of life and property should be dealt severely.

I am glad they did not get their way, or China would have been the other India by now.

Or it could have been today's China with a democratically elected leader. That's not the point of debate here, let's give it a rest.
