Not a week goes by when innocent blood is not spilled in Valley: Mehbooba Mufti

Srinagar: Former Chief Minister and Peoples Democratic Party president Mehbooba Mufti on Tuesday hit out at the government saying "situation in J&K has deteriorated to an extent where not a week goes by when an innocent doesn't lose life".

Mufti's tweet came a day after the killing of a civilian in Srinagar old city area. Mohammad Ibrahim Khan, a resident of Astengoo Bandipora was shot dead by militants at Borikadal area on Monday evening.

"Security situation in J&K has deteriorated to an extent where not a week goes by when an innocent doesn't lose his life. Unfortunate that despite repressive measures taken in name of security, people are being killed & have no sense of dignity or normalcy. Condolences to his family," she said.

There have been a series of targeted killings in Kashmir since October. (UNI)
