Shopian incident: What is Govt’s take on Maj Gogoi and Aditya now?

Early Times Report
Jammu, May 2: The terrible incident of stone pelting on a school bus in Shopian on Wednesday has left the state government red faced and those who shouted at top of their voices before the entire nation seeking sentences for Major Nitin Leetul Gogoi and Maj Aditya Kumar have lost their speech.

Besides the Kashmiri politicians in the government as well as those in the opposition, the entire Kashmiri society has been taken aback by this gory attack by the stone pelters on innocent school children and many who mobbed encounter sites to afford escape routes to the militants trapped by the security forces are in state of complete dismay.

The incident has deeply embarrassed the state government in particular, which ordered release of hundreds of ‘boys’ who were booked for stone pelting and the statement of condemnation issued by the government seems pathetically inadequate.

The incident has also left the leaders of the opposition including Omar Abdullah, who demanded Court Marshal of Major Gogoi of 53 RR, for fastening a stone pelter on the bonnet of a vehicle to keep stone pelters at bay from the army convoy, completely dumb. Even the state government booked men of 10 Garhwal led by Major Aditya Kumar when the Army formation on patrol duty was caught in heavy stone pelting by violent mob in Ganwapora in January this year, and the Armymen had to open fire to protect their lives. It may be recalled that the father of Maj Aditya had to knock the doors of Apex Court to get a direction for the state government not to proceed against Major Aditya.

“Maj Gogoi stands vindicated today and perhaps the government must think of fastening a stone pelter on each school bus so that the safety of school children can be ensured from these savages” said a local, privy to the incident.

The awful incident of attack on innocent children by the notorious stone pelters has come just a day after three civilians were killed in the valley by the militants from point blank range.
