Srinagar, Feb 13 (KNS): A day after the two civilians were killed in South Kashmir’s Kulgam district, the opposition parties on Monday said that the continuous civilian killings are bound to trigger unrest in the Valley again.
The opposition parties said that the promises made by the Chief Minister, Mehbooba Mufti over following Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) have proven ‘futile’ on the ground.
Talking to KNS, Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC) state chief, G A Mir said, “Yet another civilian killings in the Valley seems that the present regime hasn’t learnt any lesson from the last year’s unrest (2106), during which nearly 100 people were killed and thousands were maimed.”
Mir said that the promises made by Mehbooba Mufti over handling the local militants has proven ‘hoax’ on the ground. “It seems that the statements made by Mehbooba Mufti were aimed to befool the people of Kashmir. Her statements over the forces exercising maximum restrain have also turned futile. It seems that the present regime is being run by the RSS,” Mir told KNS.
He said, “Mehbooba Mufti is completely cordoned by RSS policy. She is taking directions from Nagpur. With taking no care of the civilians, Mehbooba got exposed before the people.
Condemning the civilian killings in Kulgam on Sunday, Mir said that forces should have exercised restrain while dealing with the protesters.Click Here To Follow Our WhatsApp Channel“The civilian killings in Kulgam district must have been avoided. I pray for the peace and prosperity of the Valley but if such civilian killings will continue, Kashmir would once again witness unrest. Mehbooba must fulfill the promises done with the people and in case she failed then definitely it can led to the alienation.”
National Conference (NC) provisional president, Nasir Aslam Wani told KNS, “The continues killing of civilians in Kashmir has exposed the present regimes lies, the promises made by the Chief Minister over following the SOP’s has proven futile on the ground.”
He said that NC leaders have already asked the government to conduct judicial probe into the Kulgam killings and the maiming of many people there. “We again request the state dispensation to exercise restraint and be careful in dealing with such kind of situations so that innocent killings would not take place in future.”
Saying that the innocent killings must have been avoided, NC provisional president said that such civilian killings in the Valley can again trigger unrest. “When we lose innocent lives, it creates more of alienation and people are bound to agitate for that,” Wani said. (KNS)
