Omar Abdullah criticised the claims of normalcy in Jammu and Kashmir and said that they are deceiving the people of the country.  He attributed the perceived lack of peace to the frequent encounters happening throughout the region.

He said, "The situation is not normal anywhere. The situation in Rajouri was normal earlier, we had freed Rajouri from terrorism to a large extent. I do not remember that during my rule." 

His statement came after two army personnel were killed in Jammu and Kashmir's Rajouri district on Wednesday (November 22) in an encounter between security forces and terrorists. 

Top LeT terrorist killed

In the firing, one Pakistani terrorist has been killed, the spokesman said. He has been identified as Quari, a hardcore terrorist, he said. "He has been trained on the Pakistan and Afghan front. He is a highly ranked terrorist leader of Lashkar-e-Taiba", he said. 

The area was cordoned off overnight with the induction of additional security forces to ensure that terrorists engaged in the encounter do not escape from the area, which is highly forested, they said.
