Jammu, Apr 4 (KNS): Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) leader and Pulwama MLA Waheed-ur-Rehman Parra on Saturday sought a transparent probe into the Ganderbal encounter and action against those found guilty, saying such incidents should not recur in the Kashmir Valley.

Parra said the inquiry ordered by the administration was a welcome step but stressed the need for accountability.
“Whoever is involved should face action. We have seen such incidents earlier and they should not be allowed to happen again,” he said, as per Kashmir News Service (KNS).

Referring to the rights of the innocent, the MLA said the government must take steps to prevent such incidents in future, adding that lapses by individuals “acting in the name of militancy” should be addressed.Click Here To Follow Our WhatsApp Channel

Meanwhile, Parra criticised the reservation policy in the Union Territory, terming it “flawed” and alleging that it undermines merit.

He claimed the current framework does not reflect population ratios and called for its rationalisation.
“We are not against reservation, but it should be in proportion to the population,” he said.

Parra also accused the government of failing the youth, alleging that a proposal on rationalisation of the reservation policy was not supported in the Assembly.(KNS).
