SRINAGAR: Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has denied reports of his resigning over the killing of a youth in Baramulla, saying if his stepping down can bring a person back to life he will do so in a flash.
“Note to others spreading rumours about my impending resignation – I haven’t resigned. If my resignation could bring a person back to life I’d resign in a flash. My responsibility to the state and people is to ensure incidents like today’s see justice done,” Omar on micro-blogging site Twitter.
In an earlier tweet, he wrote,”Note to PDP – don’t confuse anger and sadness with helplessness. What you saw today was me angry and sad at the tragic loss of life.”
A young man, Tahir Sofi was killed on Tuesday after the Army fired live bullets in north Kashmir’s Baramulla.
