SRINAGAR: The constitution of a special investigation body by the government of Jammu and Kashmir to investigate terror related cases is only intended to strengthen “repressive officers” in the Union, PAGD said on Tuesday.
The State Investigation Agency (SIA) has been formed in police Jammu and Kashmir for quick investigations and prosecution in terror related cases and coordinating with central agencies.
“The latest decision from the administration to create a state investigation body with all counts is only aimed at strengthening repressive equipment in this region,” said Pagd spokesman M y Tarigami in a statement.
He said the establishment of an agent again empowered with “uncontrolled power” was another “attack” on democratic rights and civil liberties of citizens.
“In the name of this terrorism battle, agents and law are armed with residents who hold different viewpoints from the government.
What the need to add one agent like that when Nia and UPA have created chaos among people with severe abuse of Draconia’s steps This? “He asked.
Tarigami said J-K was “political issues” and needed political outreach and what to do was to provide assistance and there was no addition to “hard steps” like that “bound to deepen their alienation”.
“The People’s Alliance for the Declaration of Gupkar (PAGD) has opposed all such laws in the past and will do it in the future too.
Even the leading legal experts in this country have expressed hatred of Draconian laws that are passed by the government on behalf of the government Combating terrorism.
This law can be used as a weapon against opponents.
The fight to maintain democracy must include the struggle to get rid of this Draconian law, “he said.
Meanwhile, PDP President Mehbooba Mufti said the SIA Constitution was a “state suppression” to “intimidate” people to be “submission and silence”.
