National Conference on Saturday lashed out at the PDP-BJP Government for unleashing a wave of indiscriminate persecution in South Kashmir and said the Government was deliberately punishing the people of South Kashmri en-mass for the current unrest. National Conference MLA Homshalibug Abdul Majeed Larmi and MLC Dr. Bashir Ahmed Veeri said the situation in Homshalibug, Bijbehara and Kulgam besides other places was extremely alarming and was further deteriorating because of the Government’s ruthless and vindictive approach.
In a statement issued from Party Headquarters in Srinagar, the NC Legislators expressed solidarity with the family of the slain civilian Arif Ahmed Shah of Gund Baba, Sangam and prayed for peace to the departed soul. Extending heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family, MLA Homshalibug Abdul Majeed Larmi and MLC Dr. Bashir Ahmed Veeri said the innocent civilian was shot dead without any provocation and this was yet another instance of the Government giving a tacit approval to a barbaric approach in handling the political unrest.
“Scores of innocent civilians have sustained grievous injuries in various areas as there has been a ruthless assault targeted at civilians and the saddest thing is that this is happening under the nose of the administration. There is absolutely no sense of responsibility or restraint as the indiscriminate assault on civilians continues unabated. It seems like Mehbooba Mufti has passed clear directions that people in South Kashmir should be persecuted based on their widespread resentment for the opportunistic PDP-BJP Government”, the NC Legislators further added in the statement.
Demanding a time-bound judicial probe into all civilian killings including the killing in Dooru, Kulgam and Sangam, the NC Legislators said the State Government was shying away from submitting itself to judicial scrutiny for the loss of almost a hundred young lives over the course of the previous more than four months.
