National Conference president Farooq Abdullah on Sunday urged the Centre to order a judicial probe into the twin terror attacks in Jammu and Kashmir a day earlier and also asked Pakistan to stop supporting terrorism in the region.
The former chief minister said if a probe is not ordered into the two gruesome incidents, his party would "invite an international committee" to conduct an investigation to find out the culprits behind such attacks.
Reacting to Abdullah's statement, senior BJP leader and former deputy chief minister Kavinder Gupta said the NC chief should seek unconditional public apology for his remark and "misleading people" by "raising fingers against the government whenever there is a terror strike in the region".
Terrorists struck at two places in Kashmir on Saturday night, killing Aijaz Sheikh, a former sarpanch affiliated with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), in Shopian and injuring a tourist couple from Rajasthan in Anantnag.
Speaking to reporters after an election rally in Rajouri, Abdullah demanded a judicial probe into the two terror incidents.
"Both the incidents should be probed by a judge to know who are behind these attacks... I do not know whether it is a conspiracy but such incidents definitely need to be investigated," the NC leader said.
"The government has failed to identify the people behind such killings. I am demanding investigation by a judge so that the truth can come to surface," he said.
