Senior Congress leader Anand Sharma today termed the statement made by Jammu and Kashmir Governor as ‘outrageous, shocking and unacceptable’. “He is the constitutional head of the state. Apparently, he has lost his sense of balance and proportion. To save any further embarrassment, the PM should recommend his removal to the Hon’ble President” Sharma said in a tweet.

Earlier today Jammu and Kashmir Governor Satya Pal Malik asked militants to stop killing innocent people, including security personnel, and instead, rise against “those who have looted the wealth of Kashmir for years”.

“These boys who have picked up guns are killing their own people, they are killing PSOs (personal security officer) and SPOs (special police officers). Why are you killing them? Kill those who have looted the wealth of Kashmir. Have you killed any of them?” Malik said, speaking at a tourism function in Kargil of Ladakh region.

The Governor explained guns have never been the solution to problems. “There was an outfit called LTTE in Sri Lanka and it had support as well but it has also been finished,” he said.
