Srinagar, Feb 23 (IANS): Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday for speaking in favour of Kashmiris.

"Thank you @narendramodi Sahib. Aaj aap ne hamaray dil ki baat keh di," tweeted Abdullah.

Addressing a rally in Rajasthan, Modi said "India's fight is not against Kashmir or Kashmiris".

In another comment, Omar said, "It's been a more than a week since the terrible attack in Pulwama and more than a week that Kashmiris have been bearing the brunt of public anger. Perhaps finally after PM @narendramodi has spoken these forces targeting Kashmiris will stop in their tracks".

Both Omar and another former chief minister, Mehbooba Mufti had criticised the Prime Minister for his silence over attacks on Kashmiri students and businessmen in some states in the aftermath of February 14 Pulwama terror attack.

    By threatening Kashmiris, angry ‘nationalists’ are fulfilling Pakistan’s plan. BJP using Kashmir to win the next election which doesn’t have a military solution.
    As per the figures released by Jammu and Kashmir Coalition of Civil Society, a total of 160 civilians were killed in incidents of violence in 2018 in the Valley. According to the JKCCS report, most civilian deaths were reported from South Kashmir, the region which saw sustained violence in 2018. Almost 85 civilian killings were recorded from four districts of South Kashmir – Kulgam, Anantnag, Pulwama and Shopian. Many more civilians have been killed this year.

    North Kashmir recorded 24 civilian killings, while Central Kashmir witnessed killings of 13 civilians.

    Last year’s death toll was the highest since 2009 in the Muslim-majority Kashmir, including at least 260 militants, 160 civilians, and 150 government forces.

    As per the figures released by JKCCS, a total of 160 civilians were killed in incidents of violence in 2018 in the Valley. Among those killed were18 women and 31 children – the highest in the last decade – including an eight-month-old baby, Nitin Kumar, who was killed in cross-border firing in Pallanwala. According to the report, a total of 586 people were killed in 2018 in Kashmir. Among 586 people killed in Jammu and Kashmir, 160 are civilians, 267 are militants and 159 are members of Indian armed forces and Jammu and Kashmir police, the report added.
    The Pro BJP Channels hardly show any reality of the ground situation and treat them as terrorists for stone throwing. If Kashmir throws a stone is a terrorist. If Patel and Jat destroy property worth Rs35,000 crores gets quota.
    Today Kashmiris treated as 'Sikh' after late Indira Gandhi assassination. I appreciate Khalsa Aid extending a helping hand to stranded Kashmiris, rescuing and transporting them home, grateful Kashmiris in the Valley are reciprocating in kind.
    I learned the value of hard work by working hard.
