| Anarchy has made forces unaccountable: Mehbooba | | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, Aug 13: Condemning four more deaths in shoot-out today, Peoples Democratic Party president Mehbooba Mufti has regretted the ostrich like attitude of the union government to unfold disaster in Kashmir. “Even a two day lull in killings is unfortunately taken as a reason to turn focus away from Kashmir” she said while responding to the killing of a teenager in Trehgam, two persons in Bomai and an elderly person in Pattan in firing by security forces.
Mehbooba said it is high time we move away from cosmetic actions aimed mainly at managing the adverse fall out of the highhandedness of government forces that has claimed as many as 55 lives in two months. It is now absolutely unavoidable that the root cause of the problem is addressed without risking more lives and wasting more time, she said. The current anarchy, she maintained has made the government forces completely unaccountable.
PDP president said while the indiscriminate killing of people especially the youth, children, women and the elderly represented the callous face of state set up and indifference to human life, the government had in fact let loose a reign of terror at all levels that is not reflected fully by any statistics
Mehbooba said Kashmir had virtually turned into a killing field while political activists and young men continued to be imprisoned. Some of them, she said were unaccounted even though they had been picked up by police and security forces.
She said the killing of 16 year old Mudassir Ahmed Zargar of Trehgam and 65 year old Ali Mohammad Khanday of Pattan once again brings out the tragedy of Kashmir which has extracted a heavy price out of the younger generation but in fact targets any one who dares to protest.
The government gun refuses to recognise, age or gender and has unfortunately become the only contact point with the people, she added.
