NEW DELHI — A day after school bus in Gurugram was attacked by the hooligans protesting against the movie Padmaavat, the former J&K Chief Minister Omar Abdullah tweeted that why the Karni sena goons aren’t being tied to the jeeps and paraded in front of school buses and cinema halls as human shields.
Abdullah wondered why the same mob control measure that the Indian Army employed in Kashmir wasn’t being followed in other parts of the country.
Why aren’t Karni Sena goons being tied to the front of jeeps & paraded in front of school buses & cinema halls? Isn’t that a much lauded crowd control measure?
According to the news reported in Times of India, his remark was in reference to the human shield controversy of Jammu and Kashmir in which a stone-pelter was tied to the bonnet of the army jeep by an officer to escape from the area unscathed.
He further went on to defend Bollywood stars on the issue, asking why should they be expected to say anything on the issue when the political leadership itself was silent on it.
Why blame them when the political leadership of the country is silent? Senior figures in Govt of India want to “open a dialogue” with the goons. https://twitter.com/bhupendrachaube/status/956540259260444672 …
