“There is still terrorism here. No matter which party member he (BJP chief and ex-sarpanch Aijaz Ahmad Sheikh) belonged to, it needs to be investigated whether he targeted anyone. Whether he was killed by terrorists or people here before pointing the finger at someone, it needs to be investigated quickly,” said Farooq Abdullah in an exclusive interview.
