We should not panic. Defeat teaches us a lesson, and wherever there are shortcomings, we will try to improve them,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Pertinently, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) registered a historic win in Budgam for the first time, defeating the National Conference candidate by a margin of 4,478 votes. The Budgam seat, long considered a stronghold of NC, slipped from the party\u2019s grip in the by-election held after Chief Minister Omar Abdullah vacated the constituency to retain Ganderbal.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, speaking about the massive blast in Nowgam Police Station, Abdullah said: \u201cThis is our mistake; those who understand this explosive better should have been consulted first about how to deal with it instead of trying to handle it ourselves. It has resulted in the loss of 9 lives, besides causing extensive damage to the houses nearby,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He added that such a situation is being witnessed at a time when the people have not come out of the crisis in Delhi where fingers are being pointed at every Kashmiri. \u201cWhen will that day come when they will accept that we are Indians and we are not responsible for this? Ask those who are responsible why these doctors had to take this path? What was the reason?
