In a statement issued on Friday, Sheikh Khursheed said such acts of violence against Kashmiri youth outside Jammu and Kashmir cannot be brushed aside as isolated incidents. He appreciated the concern expressed by the Hon’ble Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, but raised serious questions over the continued silence of the Lieutenant Governor of Jammu and Kashmir.

“Why is the LG silent? He has never uttered a single word on any such attack. When any citizen of Jammu and Kashmir is beaten and humiliated outside the UT, the head of the administration cannot look away,” Sheikh Khursheed said.Click Here To Follow Our WhatsApp Channel

 

He alleged that the administration shows excessive harshness at home while remaining mute on attacks against Kashmiris elsewhere. “You slap PSA on MLAs, bulldoze and blast houses, terminate employees, silence voices, and yet remain silent when our people are attacked outside. This selective approach is deeply troubling,” he remarked.

 

Calling the Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha the custodian of the dignity and safety of the people of Jammu and Kashmir, the MLA said it was his clear duty to take up such grave incidents firmly with the Union Government and the concerned state governments.

“Silence only emboldens perpetrators. The dignity and safety of Kashmiris must be defended wherever they are,” Sheikh Khursheed asserted, demanding accountability and concrete action to prevent recurrence of such incidents.(KNS)
