National Conference president Farooq Abdullah on Monday lashed out at BJP over its claims of normalcy post abrogation of Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir and said the killings will never stop until “justice” is served.

Abdullah, who is a member of parliament from Srinagar, said had the situation improved on the ground, another innocent Kashmiri pandit would not have been killed. “It (killings) will never stop as long as there is be no justice,” he told reporters on the latest killing of a Kashmiri pandit by terrorists in Shopian.

Abdullah did not elaborate what “justice” he was talking about, but he was apparently referring to the restoration of Article 370 abrogated by the Centre.

The Centre abrogated Article 370, providing special status to J&K on August 5, 2019. “If the situation had improved (as claimed by the BJP), this innocent pandit would not have been killed. Where is the improved situation as I don’t see it,” he said.
