Gupta said, “NC has been thoroughly exposed and its role in the recent turmoil in Kashmir should be an eye-opener for the people of the state”. Jammu: The Bharatiya Janata Party on Saturday latched on to a media report claiming that National Conference (NC) was fuelling the ongoing turmoil in Kashmir to demand a probe into the alleged role of the opposition party. “The allegation (of involvement of some NC workers in fuelling the unrest) is too serious and needs to be investigated expeditiously and role of NC in fuelling the current turmoil exposed,” BJP state spokesperson Anil Gupta said in Jammu. The media report claimed that two NC workers were involved in arson and loot in South Kashmir following the killing of Hizbul Mujahideen commander Burhan Wani in an encounter on 8 July. Forty-five people have been killed in clashes that broke out between protesters and security forces two weeks ago.
