Not Every Kashmiri Is a Terrorist: Omar Abdullah Responds to Delhi Blast Probe
Omar Abdullah urges calm and justice as the Delhi blast probe widens to Kashmir, noting a Turkish-linked handler and a network that included professionals who radicalized students.
Delhi woke to the tremor of a car blast as investigators press on with the case. Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah stressed a clear message: not every Kashmiri is a terrorist, urging calm and fair treatment as the probe expands beyond the national capital.
New details from the investigation point to a Turkiye-based handler codenamed Ukasa who directed the module. The network reportedly included professionals such as doctors and a cleric who allegedly radicalized students, signaling a sophisticated attempt to recruit and indoctrinate.
Abdullah demanded punishment for those behind the attack but warned against punishing innocents in the process, saying misdirected retaliation risks fueling more tension in the region.
Security experts say the remarks aim to counter rising fear and potential discrimination against residents of Jammu and Kashmir. Officials urged the public to remain vigilant while resisting communal finger-pointing.
Investigators pledged to continue piecing together the network's reach and to tighten checks to prevent future assaults, as authorities balance the need for swift justice with civil rights.
