    Synopsis

    Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has once again used social networking site Twitter to criticise militant sympathisers of the state.

    NEW DELHI: Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has once again used social networking site Twitter to criticise militant sympathisers of the state.

    Blasting human rights activists and the Kashmiri press for not reacting to the killing of a youth in Sopore town of Baramulla district, the chief minister tweeted, "a young man was shot dead in Sopore yesterday for no apparent fault of his. Where the hell are all the irate voices? Bloody hypocrites."

    The Chief Minister said there were no messages for him in his account on Twitter as neither army nor police was involved in the killing of the youth.

    "Mohsin was a businessman, doing business in Sopore. Shot by militants last night. No wonder my TL (Twitter Line) is silent as it wasn't by army/police," Omar wrote.

    He said he understood that the incident took place well past deadlines for the national media organisations but lashed out at local media outlets for not publishing the story about the incident.

    "It was too late to make the national deadlines but made it to the local papers here, hidden in a corner somewhere obviously," he said in response to a comment from one of his 38,000 followers on Twitter.

    Terrorists had on Sunday night shot dead 34-year-old Mohsin Ahmad Wani in Sopore town.
