Srinagar, May 7 (PTI) Opposition National Conference today held a protest march here against "unabated civilian killings" in Kashmir.

The march led by party general secretary Ali Mohammad Sagar was taken out from National Conference headquarters here to Tourist Reception Centre.

Addressing the protest march, Sagar lashed out at the PDP-BJP government and Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti.

"The Chief Minister's singular obsession with power had brought the state to a dangerous precipice of turmoil and alienation. She must be held accountable and should answer for her U-turns and her failure to protect civilian lives. Mere rhetorical statements and customary condemnations cannot absolve the Chief Minister or her Government of the role in pushing the youth against the wall," Sagar said.

He said the "unabated civilian killings" in the valley were a consequence of how the ruling dispensation had failed to offer hope and empathy to the aggrieved people of the Valley.

“This Government has offered precious little to the people and will be remembered for its brutality, hypocrisy and brazen sellout. Mehbooba Mufti should take a call of her own conscience and resign," he said.

Later in the day, Sagar led a party delegation and called on Governor N N Vohra at Raj Bhawan here. They presented a memorandum on behalf of the party, a spokesman of the National Conference said.
