Srinagar, Jul 12 (KNS): Stating the Government of India instead of sending more force to the state should have sent more medicines and doctors to treat the injured persons here, CPI (M) state secretary and MLA Kulgam M Y Tarigami on Tuesday asked state government to direct force personnel to stop use of pellet guns against protesters.
Tarigami said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi who advised people to maintain peace in the Valley should have sent more doctors, medicines and other facilities to the Valley to treat the injured civilians who are admitted in different hospitals here.
Taking a jibe at Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti, Tarigami said that they have heard much about the inquiries and asked her to direct forces stop using pellet guns in the Valley. “Non lethal weapons damaged eyes of several civilians during the ongoing cycle of violence in the Valley. It should be stopped at earliest for the well being of the people of Kashmir,” he said.Click Here To Follow Our WhatsApp Channel
