The chief minister also warned social media handlers of spreading false news in the wake of the terror attack.”While 90 per cent of people are upholding the truth, there are 10 per cent of those who are trying to spread falsehood on social media.I warn them to desist from this immediately as we will not tolerate the spread of falsehood,” Abdullah said.Earlier, CPI(M) MLA M Y Tarigami and independents Muzaffar Iqbal Khan, Sheikh Khurshid and Shabir Ahmad Kullay batted for restoration of statehood to Jammu and Kashmir.Tarigami highlighted the need for restoration of statehood to J&K in the larger interest of the people and the fight against terrorism.Taking part in the discussion, Tarigami also questioned the blasting of houses in the valley and said the Supreme Court judgments make it clear that “you cannot punish an entire family for the misdeeds of any of its members”.Khurshid, in his speech, said this is the appropriate time for the central government to restore statehood and make the elected representatives more powerful.The legislator from north Kashmir’s Kupwara district also demanded an inquiry into the recent killing of a social activist by terrorists and sought adequate compensation for him.He also sought the attention of the House to the social media posts questioning the recent encounter in Bandipora that left one terrorist killed.The family members of the deceased alleged that he was arrested and later killed in a “fake encounter”.Aam Aadmi Party legislator Mehraj Malik called for a decisive action against Pakistan to put an end to terrorism once for all.Calling for a war with Pakistan to teach it a lesson so that no such incident recur again, Malik said Prime Minister Narendra Modi after cutting short his Saudi Arab visit preferred to visit Bihar for campaigning rather than coming to Pahalgam to stand in solidarity with the bereaved families.
