Giving a hint at it, legislator Chaudhary on Friday asked Kashmiri journalists to “behave yourself” to “ensure brotherhood, progress and development”. The clipping of his statement has gone viral in the Valley.
“Outrageous,” said the National Conference, condemning the remarks of 59-year-old Chaudhary, who was forest minister in the Mehbooba Cabinet from where he was forced out this summer for alleged support to a public demand for a CBI inquiry into the rape and murder of an eight-year-old Kathua girl early this year. The party asked the police to take cognisance of the “threatening” statement. “We hope the law isn’t subverted,” an NC spokesman said.
