SRINAGAR, MAY 30 (DNA) — National Conference vice president Omar Abdullah has said security nowadays seems to be a reward for loyalty rather than an objective and need-based decision.  He was reacting to the murder of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moose Wala.

The 27-year-old singer, who supported Sikh movement for Khalistan through his songs, was attacked in Punjab a day after the government withdrew his security cover.

“There is a reason why security provided to people should be based on an objective threat assessment & not based on personal likes & dislikes. These days security seems to be a reward for loyalty rather than an objective, need based decision,” Abdullah tweeted. =DNA
