NEW DELHI: National Conference (NC) president Farooq Abdullah on Saturday questioned the timing of the terrorist attack<\/a> on two migrant labourers in Kulgam, asking why such incidents occur whenever his party demands the restoration of statehood for Jammu and Kashmir.The NC had staged a protest in Delhi on July 20, demanding the restoration of statehood for Jammu and Kashmir.\u201cI regret it. We do not even know who killed them or how they were killed. There should be an investigation, a fair probe to identify those responsible,\u201d Abdullah told reporters in north Kashmir’s Baramulla district, according to PTI.Also Read | <\/span>Kulgam terror attack: Kharge claims labourers were asked to ‘identify’ before being shot<\/a>\u201cI don\u2019t know why such incidents happen whenever we seek statehood,\u201d the former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister added.Deepak Ratray and Bopinder, both in their 20s and from Chhattisgarh, were killed in a terrorist attack at a brick kiln in the Kelam area of south Kashmir’s Kulgam district late on Friday evening.Officials said Ratray died before he could be taken to a hospital, while Bopinder succumbed to his injuries during treatment.The attack came days after Jammu and Kashmir Police head constable Ashiq Hussain was shot dead by a lone terrorist in Anantnag’s Lal Chowk area while on Amarnath Yatra duty on July 22.On August 5, 2019, the Narendra Modi-led Centre revoked Article 370, which granted special status to Jammu and Kashmir. Two months later, in October 2019, the-then state was bifurcated into the Union territories of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh.<\/p>\n
