| NC condemns assault on people in Pulwama | | Expresses condolence on the death of women |
Srinagar, October 20 (Scoop News)- Jammu and Kashmir National conference on Saturday condemned the thrashing of people at Trichal Pulwama and said acts like these will further alienate the people from mainstream.
In a joint statement issued from party headquarters Nawa e Subah, party’s South Zone President Dr Basher Ahmad Veeri and District President Pulwama Ghulam Mohiuddin Mir expressed shock and disbelief on thrashing of people and reported migration of entire population from Newa Township of district Pulwama.
“People are being traumatized to leave their native villages. In PDP-BJP alliance, then Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti initiated the dreaded CASO’s and night raids which continue even today. Now it seems that the process is increasing to an extent that entire populace of hamlets are migrating bag and baggage,” Dr Veeri said.
District president Pulwama said that the collateral damage in terms of destruction to properties has become order of the day. “The basic human rights should not be curtailed during forces operations. It is hard to imagine the plight of people. Every now and then forces go berserk on the people. No one is spared including children, women, young and old. Everyone seems to be in the line of fire. A sense of anxiety looms large in south Kashmir.”
The leaders expressed concern over the vandalization of public property and thrashing incidents at Trichal hamlet of Pulwama. “Incidents like these breed alienation among the people especially youth who have been already disenchanted by the previous PDP-BJP coalition.”
Meanwhile the duo expressed shock and disbelief over the killing of Firdousa wife of Khursheed Ahmad Sheikh in Shadimarg Pulwama. “The people are being treated as chattel. Even pregnant women aren’t safe, and the incident of killing pregnant women reportedly in cross-firing is shocking. It shakes ones conscience.”
They said incidents like these do not set a good precedence for a democratic set up and such incidents ought to be investigated thoroughly.
The duo implored upon the incumbent governor administration to expedite an inquiry into the matter and identify the culprits.
