`TRC will provide refined impunity to perpetrators' 1/29/2015 11:24:04 PM Early Times Report Jammu, Jan 29: Former Chief Minister Omar Abdullah's demand for a Truth and Reconciliatory Commission (TRC) was ridiculed across Kashmir. According to human rights defenders, Omar wants impunity under AFSPA to go but by talking about Truth and Reconciliatory Commission, he actually intends to confer impunity to the perpetrators in a refined form Omar has been talking about TRC for the past two years. When the State Human Rights Commission (SHRC) shocked the government by its recommendations on unmarked and mass graves, Omar again talked about TRC. What does a reconciliatory commission mean by the way? Reconciliation means forgetting the past and forgiving the perpetrator. Isn't this impunity? Instead of seeking TRC, Omar could have punished many a perpetrator without consulting New Delhi. But he always accused New Delhi of shielding the men in uniform through Section 6 AFSPA. But AFSPA is not applicable to the Jammu Kashmir Police. The police men involved in custodial killings and other offences could have been brought to justice had Omar given his consent. New Delhi has no role to play in it. And, for the information of the general public New Delhi did not interfere when BSF commandant and one of his soldiers were put on trial for killing a youth near Nishat on February 5, 2010. Blaming New Delhi every time cannot be justified by any means. Omar never showed his seriousness in punishing the perpetrators. He could have brought the erring police officials to justice but he never took the harsh decision. Had he acted, New Delhi would have been forced to give sanction to prosecute erring soldiers of the army and the para-military forces. The solution, therefore, does not lie in highly charged political speeches or engaging some irrelevant writers to erase the memory of the sufferers. Omar has failed in administering justice and the history will never forgive him for the lapse.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
