Former Chief Minister and Peoples Democratic Party President Mehbooba Mufti demanded judicial enquiry while national Conference Vice President Omar Abdullah demanded "impartial and credible" probe into the killing of "civilians" at Hyderpora here. "Using innocent civilians as human shields, getting them killed in cross firing & then conveniently labeling them as OGWs is part of GOIs rulebook now," former chief minister in PDP president Mehbooba Mufti said in a tweet. "Imperative that a credible judicial enquiry is done to bring out the truth & put an end to this rampant culture of impunity," she added. National Conference Vice president and former Chief Minister Omar Abdullah also demanded an "impartial & credible inquiry." "An impartial & credible inquiry in to the recent encounter in #Hyderpora is an absolute necessity. There are far too many questions being raised about the encounter & about the people killed," Omar said in a tweet. "There have been numerous instances of fake encounters in the past and the questions raised about this #hyderporaencounter need to be answered swiftly & in a credible manner," Omar said. In a statement, Tarigami demanded a judicial probe into the killings of Altaf Ahmed and Mudasir Gul, who were killed in Hyderpora encounter and urged the authorities to handover their bodies to their families for burial. "Allegedly using slain unarmed civilians as human shields is shocking and must be probed through judicial process. The circumstances in which these killings happened need to be thoroughly probed", Tariagami said. He said, the rule of the law is being violated with impunity in Kashmir which is highly unfortunate. From arbitrary arrests of people, including youth to booking them under draconian laws and now allegations of using civilians as human-shields, the situation is turning from bad to worse, he added. Chairman of Peoples Conference Sajjad Gani Lone said that it an "opportunity" for Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha to "assert that human lives matter" by getting details revealed through "neutral institution" Manoj Sinha- you have the opportunity to assert that human lives matter," he said in a tweet. Sajjad however did use his often used word "army of orphans created" whenever blame of civilian killings is on unknown gunmen suspected to be militants. |
