Srinagar, November 6,(Scoop News)-National Conference Monday condemned the murderous assault on a senior local journalist by police in Anantnag and demanded immediate suspension of the errand policeman.

In a statement issued from Party Headquarters in Srinagar, NC Provincial Spokesperson Imran Nabi Dar said, “This is another instance where the PDP-BJP collation has failed to uphold safety of a common Kashmiri. The planned assault on a senior journalist Maqbool Veeray speaks volumes about the state of affairs in the valley. The very incident has brought back the ugly memories of 90’s where those who had an alternate opinion were silenced by the barrel of the gun,” adding, “With the way police is being used to suppress those who dare to write facts about the failures of the present dispensation, Jammu & Kashmir is fast turning into a fascist state.”
