Jammu Redefining 3 | March 23-April 5, 2014 BJP HITS BACK AT OMAR F ORMER Inspector General of police, Farooq Khan who recently joined the ranks of BJP in the presence of PM nominee Narendra Modi questioned the haste on the part of Omar to go to the people and spread the word that the militants had infiltrated from across the border. Addressing maiden media conference unsparing Khan said," In an urgency to tweet on an issue makes our CM always jump the gun and it has landed him in trouble on number of occasions. On this issue also his Tweet had been bordering on being criminal. Former IG, who is considered anti- (Contd. from Page 1) national highway. The fidayeen attack, almost appeared as a re-run of the previous twin terror attack on Hiranagar police station and Samba based 16 cavalry unit of the army where it had exposed the much talked about synergy between the security forces. The fact that fidayeen managed to penetrate deep inside the Indian borders and had a free run on the national highway for over two long hours had embarrassed the security agencies. Despite all this no heads in the state police department has rolled. The Chief Minister lost no time and shifted the blame on the terrorism expert said by blaming BSF Chief Minister has shown his ignorance about the issue and has tried to score some points. He said, "What was the reason for him to suddenly come out with this gem of information was not known to him". "We don't know. No body knows. Where from these terrorists have come. Whether they have come from Nepal with their families like so many others have reached J&K or they had infiltrated from across the border. Sounding a note of caution Farooq Khan said "the incid ent of Dayalachak should not be read in isolation". The incident of Dayalachak and the arrest of two persons in Gorakhpur should be studied carefully. He said,"It was not a coincidence that a day earlier BJP's PM nominee was addressing a public rally there and these terrorists were either around or they were planning and probably their presence in the area was to disturb that rally and attack on Modi. He said, "The Gorakhpur police has come out with the reports that those two persons who were caught there were planning an attack on Modiji. So these incidents and the way the Chief Minister has hurried to tell the people that they had come from across the border. What is this?Are we seeing something which is probably too mysterious somewhere? BSF for failing to check the infiltration. At the same time Chief Minister failed to fix the accountability of some senior officer at the helm for failing to respond to the crisis situation in time and saving the precious lives. It is evident despite witnessing twin terror attack on Hiranagar police station and Samba army camp the state police authorities had failed to learn any lessons and on March 28 when the fidayeen hijacked the bolero the number of police stations and police posts enroute Dayalachak and Janglote could not even put up resistance to check their forward movement.
