Targeted civilian killings – a Pak conspiracy: JK BJP Chief

    Jammu Tawi, Nov 9: Jammu and Kashmir BJP president Ravinder Raina on
    Tuesday said the targeted killing of innocent civilians by militants
    in the valley is a conspiracy of Pakistan to disturb peace in the
    Union Territory.

    He said Pakistan is the biggest enemy of Kashmiri Muslims and Islam.

    Condemning the killing of a salesman, Mohammad Ibrahim Khan, at Bohri
    Kadal locality of downtown Srinagar on Monday evening, Raina said
    Pakistani cowards have committed another grave sin by shedding the
    blood of an innocent who was out to earn a livelihood for his family.

    ”The killing of civilians shows the frustration of Pakistan which is a
    murderer of Kashmiri Muslims and enemy of Islam. Pakistani militants
    are frustrated by the successful counter-insurgency operations by our
    police, paramilitary forces and army and have hence resorted to the
    killings of unarmed civilians under the cover of darkness to disturb
    the peaceful atmosphere,” Raina said.

    He said the Pakistani militants  have killed thousands of innocents
    over the past 30 years but “our forces are determined to finish them
    along with their supporters and sympathisers”.

    Raina said even the creator would not forgive them for their misdeeds.

    Meanwhile, dozens of activists of the Shiv Sena Dogra Front staged a
    protest at Rani Park here against the civilian killings in the valley.

    The protesters led by their president Ashok Gupta chanted slogans
    against Pakistan and militants  and later dispersed peacefully,
    officials said.
