NEW DELHI: Deputy Chief Minister Nirmal Singh today alleged that Farooq Ahmad Dar, who was used by the Army as a human shield, was a “mastermind and a leader of stone pelters”.
Singh’s comments contradict the Jammu and Kashmir Police which had said in a report that Dar, who had gone to cast his vote, was a victim of “wrongful confinement”.
“I don’t know about the report. But he was a mastermind and leader of stone pelters. Though as a Government we do not support the means (human shield), we support Major Gogoi for making his intentions clear and positive,” Singh told reporters, claiming that everything was “fair in love and war”.
