In a TV interview to a news channel, NDTV, JK Chief Minister Omar Abdullah feared that the Afzal Guru hanging would have negative impact on youth pysche in J-K. Hitting out at the UPA govt, Omar said that the govt would have to prove that the execution wasn't selective. "Govt would have to convince the world that Afzal's execution wasn't selective".

"There is generation of young Kashmiri people who feel alienated and victimised and now it is up to the govt to answer", added Omar.

Omar said that Afzal's hanging didn't come as surprise, as they were anticipating trouble. "After the execution of 26/11 lone survivor Ajmal Kasab, we were mentally prepared that Guru would be hanged sooner or later, therefore security agencies were already ready".

Questioning the silence of right wing opposition on the death sentence of Rajiv Gandhi or Beant Singh's killers, Omar asked, "Why are not the parties blubbering on the issue? If attack on the parliament is an attack on the democracy, then Afzal Guru wasn't the only one who did it, there were others too who are already on death row for a longer time".

"You don't just hang somebody to satisfy the 'collective conscience' of the society", Omar.

When asked about the state govt's role in the execution, Omar Abdullah said that they were not aware about it till Friday evening.

Why should this be traumatic to the youth?? Lesson learned, terrorists will be killed. Very good lesson for all children to learn. I don't understand what the confusion/split opinion or reluctancy of the Indian government and its people is all about. So afraid to offend other politicians/nations?? "It's okay, you can blow up my parliament and terrorize my people." Come on, are you guys for real!?!?! India needs to send a clear and decisive message that terrorism will not be tolerated. The world needs to send a clear and decisive message that terrorism will not be tolerated. By the way, what's this crying over the body. Who does the terrorist ever give mercy too??? In Sharia law, they would torture, mutilate, and not allow a burial or last rights. Teac them what is Karma India. Those cruel barbarians!
