Jammu: PDP President Mehbooba Mufti on Wednesday led a strong protest here against civilian murder by security forces, and demanded surrendering the body from those who died to their families.
The former main minister said that since the Special Strength of Armed Forces (AFSPA) has been valid, there has been no accountability for murder of innocent people.
Four people, including two civilians, were killed in a shootout by security forces on Monday night during an anti-terror operation.
According to the police, Haider, a Pakistani terrorist, and his local partner Mohammad Amir, along with two civilians – Altaf Bhat and Mudassir Gul – died in a meeting at the Locity of Hyderpora, where illegal call centers and terror hiding places are suspected of running.
Inspector General of Police (Kashmir Range) Vijay Kumar claimed that Gul was a terrorist active partner and run a central call in a place owned by Bhat, who was killed in cross shots with terrorists.
He expressed regret for Bhat’s death but said he would be taken into account between terrorist “Harbourers”.
Mohammad Amir’s father Latief Magray, a resident of the Gool region of Ramban District, has denied official claims that his son is a terrorist.
Holding the reading placard “stop killing us, committing the murder of Hyderpora, ending the impunity and body surrender to the family”, Mehbooba, along with activists and party leaders, protests against this murder outside the Head Office of Gandhi Nagar.
A strong police position stopped the protesters to move towards the main road.
Mehbooba told reporters that the civilian family killed took protests in Srinagar and demanded the surrender of their bodies.
“This cruel government doesn’t even give up the body after killing people.
They (BJP) want to convert Gandhi, Nehru, and Ambedkar to be a cruel country.
What else can I say?” Said PDP leader.
Asked about the IGP claims about digital evidence against those killed, he said: “If they have evidence before, why did the police not catch them, as they had done every day.” “Every time someone killed in their shootout, they added it over land workers, and it was wrong.” Because AFSPA has been valid, there is no accountability and nothing can be answered, “he said.” They are innocent civilians And their families were rejected even did their last ritual, “he added.
Referring to the previous fake match incident where three young men were killed, he said security agents made claims to have digital evidence even, but the reality was that they did not have evidence.
