Srinagar, May 14 (KNS): Chairman Peoples Democratic Front (PDF), Hakeem Yaseen, who is currently in Makka Sharief on Umrah, has strongly condemned the shameful and ghostly incident of rape on a three years minor girl in Tregam Sumbal in district Bandipora.

In a statement issued to KNS, Hakeem Yaseen has demanded exemplary punishment to the culprit and has urged for a fast track court trial to provide justice to the victim and her family.

“This dastardly and shameful incident is a black slur on the face of humanity,” Hakeem Yaseen has remarked while demanding stringent punishment to the perpetrator of this heinous crime. The barbaric incident has pained and hurt conscience of every human being.

Meanwhile, Hakeem Yaseen has appealed to the people of the state to keep calm and defeat every nefarious attempt to give the incident a sectarian twist. He said there are certain elements who try to create a wedge between Shia and Sunni in the garb of this incident to satiate their petty interests.

He said everyone, irrespective of cast, creed, religion or region have in unequivocal terms condemned the incident including both Sunnis and Shias and everyone wants that the accused should be punished as per law. “So we should not allow vested interests to high jack this unfortunate incident,” Hakeem Yaseen has observed.
