| Govt declares war on people: Mehbooba | | |
EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, Aug 02: Expressing outrage at the continued killing spree of young men and women across Kashmir, Peoples Democratic Party President Mehbooba Mufti today said that it is declaration of a direct war on the people of the State.
In a statement issued here, she said presently what Kashmir needs the most is understanding,
compassion and a political approach but unfortunately what has been promised at the end of the two-month long spell of death and destruction is more force and brazen threats against the civilian population here.
She was responding to the unabated wave of killings on the streets of the Valley which resulted in the loss of another six people at Kakpora, Sangam, Kralpora Kupwara , Kulgam and Bijbehara today.
Mehbooba said the decision to introduce Rapid Action Force in addition to the existing police and other paramilitary forces in a highly militarised place to terrorise the protesting people can only further deteriorate the situation.
The PDP President said that the threat of using more force is just not adding hostility into the already surcharged atmosphere but it amounts to insulting a people who take pride in their centuries long history and culture of knowledge, tolerance and civility. It is now clear that Government has run out of ideas on Kashmir and the totally bankrupt approach in handling the present situation will only add to anger and alienation of the people.
Expressing heartfelt grief at the loss of lives, Mehbooba said ``the boys and girls we lose to the wanton use of force by the Government are a loss not just to the families but to the entire community. We may not be able to share fully the grief of the families of
the victims but as a mother she fully understands what it means to lose budding young children to bullets and brutality of the Government’’.
