Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah criticized the national response to civilian deaths caused by Pakistan’s cross-border shelling, calling it “lip service.” In an exclusive interview with India Today TV, Abdullah acknowledged the nationwide grief over the Pahalgam terror attack but questioned the silence around casualties in Rajouri, Poonch, Uri, and Baramulla. He cited examples, including the deaths of 12-year-old twins in Poonch and a district official in Ramban, lamenting the lack of attention. While supporting PM Modi’s stance on strong retaliation, Abdullah emphasized the need for equal outrage for all victims, regardless of geography or religion. (PC: India Today)
