| Withdraw FIR against CRPF Jawans: Harsh to HM | | Book saboteurs under 307, 124A | | Early Times Report
Jammu, June 7: Accusing the state govt of pursuing the policy of appeasement of separatists and other anti national forces in J&K, Harsh Dev Singh JKNPP Chairman and Former Minister today appealed the visiting Union Home Minister to order the withdrawal of cases registered against the CRPF personnel in Nowhatta episode.
Rather than booking the stone-pelters, who attacked the Para-military Jawans and hounded their gypsy, for attempt to murder and sedition, the state govt most contemptuously chose to register a case against the bravehearts who, he said, had taken the wisest course available under the prevailing circumstances.
Drawing the attention of the Home Minster towards the most cowardly act of hundreds of stone-pelters in cornering a solitary gypsy of CRPF and attacking it left and right with lathis and stones with pernicious designs as could be gauged from the social media videos which had gone viral, Singh regretted that the state govt's action amounted to punishing the victims and absolving the criminals.
He said that the video of the said episode presented a horrifying spectacle with the lone gypsy carrying soldiers having been surrounded from all sides by violent mobs pouncing upon the Jawans with deadly intentions, an exhibition of naked terror and panic bordering on schizophrenia on display. And still the case was registered against Jawans to the exclusion of saboteurs who were once again granted immunity, regretted Harsh.
Seeking the indulgence of the visiting HM, Singh said that the CRPF Jawans could not be booked under criminal law for having acted in the line of duty. He said that the repeatedly played video on social media as well as electronic media shows that the distressed driver of gypsy was labouring hard to wriggle out of the highly disturbed situation and he could not have been blamed for having runover some desperate fellow forming part of a rowdy hostile mob. The FIR ought to have been registered against the saboteurs which the state govt did not appreciate and contrarily booked the Jawans which had caused a demoralizing effect upon the security forces working under unimaginably tough and hostile conditions, rued Harsh.
"With armed forces being stoned, slapped, manhandled, humiliated, heckled, taunted jeered and with several restraints having been imposed upon them, how could you expect them to give their best in safeguarding our territorial integrity and sovereignty" questioned Harsh.
Urging upon the Home Minister to give adequate space to bravehearts to deal with such ubiquitous challenges, Singh said that no one can work without an assurance that his bonafide actions will not draw punitive retribution from the state. |
