Just before the government wound down in Jammu and began shifting to Srinagar, Chief Minister Omar Abdullah spoke exclusively to Editor-in-Chief Raj Chengappa and Resident Editor Arun Joshi on a range of key issues. Excerpts:
What has been the impact of Afzal Guru’s hanging in Kashmir?
Chief Minister Omar Abdullah
Let us not underestimate the impact it has had on people’s psyche. Their suspicions are being proved correct in the way in which you handled his execution as opposed to others. Start with the Veerappan gang members, their mercy petition was rejected by the President and after that they got a stay on the execution by the Supreme Court.
