What great year? question NC, PDP

SRINAGAR: Political rivals People Democratic’s Party and National Conference came together on Thursday when they questioned Northern Army Command chief Lt Gen Ranbir Singh boasting about the number of militants killed in the state last year.

"I beg to differ, a great year would be one in which no young man would join militancy, no terrorists would be killed & no security personnel would lose their lives in encounters. The compulsion of killing militants/terrorists shouldn't be treated as a cause for celebration," NC’s vice-president Omar Abdullah wrote on Twitter responding to the remarks of NAC.

“Please don't reduce it to a sport, gen(eral) saheb. Humans can't be hunting trophies. They are your own. Some sensitivity expected,” PDP senior leader Naeem Akhtar responded.
