Indian-Held Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has claimed that there are 'visible and invisible links among the militants in the state, including the Maoists, Left-leaning academicians and supporters, reported a Indian newspaper. We have no experience with Maoist insurgency even though of late we find efforts being made to build bridges between the Maoists and Naxalites of the rest of India with militants of Kashmir and also some Left-thinking academicians and students in Jammu region as well, Decaan Chronicle quoted Abdullah as saying. He maintained that not only there were visible links, but also several covert connect-ions between the two. We have seen evidence of it (of bridges being built between Maoists and insurgents in Kashmir). Meanwhile, APHC leader Mirwaiz Umar Farooq rejected Omars remarks, saying it was an attempt to malign the indige-nous movement. We reject the statement of the Chief Minister. It is an unfortunate attempt to malign the indigenous movement of people of Jammu and Kashmir by linking it to outside forces, Mirwaiz told reporters at his residence, where he continues to be under house arrest since Eid.
