Braid Cutting

Braid chopping a conspiracy to suppress true sentiments of Kashmiris: Abdullah

 

Srinagar: Reacting over unabated braid chopping incidents in the Kashmir Valley, National Conference President Dr Farooq Abdullah said that these conspiracies were hatched in past as well to suppress the true sentiments of people.

He appealed to the people to get united to expose the criminals indulging in such acts. “This is a conspiracy to suppress the sentiments of people of Kashmir. This conspiracy has been hatched to harass common people who have already witnessed hell in Valley,” Abdullah said.

He said it is a direct attack on the dignity and honour of our sisters, daughters and mothers. “This is unacceptable to us and we ought to get united to expose the elements behind it,” Abdullah said.

Earlier, after 100 odd braid chopping incidents Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti said that it was an attempt to create mass hysteria and undermine the dignity of women. On the other hand, the Resistance leaders have been calling for protests against the incidents. They have termed it as a ‘devilish act to divert people’s attention from the freedom movement’.

The police, which has so far been unable to catch the criminals, said on Monday that they have started ‘scientific investigations’ and will try to establish the motive behind the braid chopping incidents.
