Srinagar (KNO) : Jama’at-e-Islami Jammu and Kashmir strongly condemns the terror unleashed by government forces across the valley especially in South Kashmir and appeals human rights bodies to take stringent action against the forces personnel involved in brute violation of human rights.
Jama’at chief spokesperson Advocate Zahid Ali said, a joint party of Army and SOG of Jammu and Kashmir Police during the intervening night of 10-11 August entered into Rahpora Khudwani of South Kashmir’s Kulgam district and raided several houses. During raids unruly forces personal went berserk and pierced roof tops of many residential houses and went inside where in they asked youth to be with us during searches’.
‘Forces personnel later on took away seven youth namely Suhaib Aijaz (minor), Wazir-ul-Haq, Tajamul Mohi-ud-din, Zahid Zahoor, Danish Yousuf, Zahid Fayaz and Suhail Bashir and shifted them to an undisclosed location and their parents are concerned about their life which has caused a great threat in public sphere’, he said. Advocate Zahid Ali said, government forces have trampled not only human rights of Kashmiri people but also the guidelines laid down by Supreme Court of India regarding the intimation of arrest and the location of detainee to their family but unfortunately rights of Kashmiri people are being denied fearlessly.
‘As 15 August is approaching, government forces have started arrest spree across the valley and have made life of people hell. In Dar Mohalla of Nehama, Pulwama, 50RR has launched nocturnal Cordon and Search Operation (CASO) and started door to door searches after which they vandalized property and thrashed many youth. At that moment some personnel of 50RR slapped 100 times on the face of Shabir Ahmd Wani s/o Abdul Aziz that damaged his left eardrum and as such he has been deprived forever from hearing facility, he said.
Jama’at-e-Islami Jammu and Kashmir vehemently denounces the terror of government forces in length and breadth of the state and urges an unconditional release of all arrestees, impresses upon the human rights groups to take strong note of grave and volatile situation of Jammu and Kashmir so that harassment and intimidation of government forces are stopped forthwith.
