"The architect of 'Operation All-out' & the overseer of the operations that killed hundreds of militants since 2015 is now going from one militant home to the next trying to rehabilitate a badly damaged reputation," Omar wrote on Twitter. "She used militants by sanctioning their deaths to appease the BJP and now she uses dead militants to try to appease the voter. Just how gullible does she think people are?" the former CM added. After visiting family of a slain militant in Shopian district of south Kashmir, Mehbooba told "Our police is a disciplined force. The Governor should issue clear-cut directions that families of militants should not be harassed," This was Mehbooba's second visit to the family of militants. Earlier, she had visited a similar family in Pulwama district. The state was last month placed under President's rule, six months after the BJP pulled out of Mehbooba Mufti-led government and the state was put under Governor's rule.
