Referring to the recent spate of civilian killings in the Kashmir Valley, former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has said that he considers the failure of the Prime Minister’s employment package for migrant Kashmiri Pandits a personal failure. He also told The Indian Express in an interview that though the current security situation might give him a short-term political handle “with which to beat the BJP”, not everything in J&K should be weighed in terms of its “political benefits and costs”. “There are some things that are far more important. This is one of those,” he added.
