Jammu | Aug 5
Bar Association Jammu has criticized the provocative and inflammatory speeches of anti-national Kashmir fundamentalists who are bent upon to provoke innocent Muslims of Jammu province that the ongoing agitation is communal and anti-Muslim which is factually misleading and incorrect. The BAJ has appealed the people of Jammu region to maintain age old communal harmony and build a secular civil society by strengthening the secular forces and isolate the antinational separatists and Kashmir centric and communal forces for peaceful coexistence of Jammu civil society.
BAJ today in its meeting held under the chairmanship of Adv BS Salathia in which important decisions were taken to further intensify the ongoing agitation of the people of Jammu. In response to the support of Bandh call extended by the BAJ to Shri Amarnathji Sangarsh Samiti, the work in all courts shall remain suspended up to August 8, 2008. BAJ in its meeting strongly condemned the barbaric act of the curfew enforcing agencies for opening unprovoked and indiscriminate firing on peaceful demonstrators at Samba and Jourian, thereby killing the innocent youths and critically wounding several others. BAJ warned the administration not to take such like steps which in itself aggravate the situation in the Jammu region and demanded immediate Judicial Enquiry into the matter. In case of any failure on the part of the administration to order judicial probe, Bar Association Jammu shall be constrained to resort to remedies available under law, the association warned.
It has been reliably learnt by the BAJ that in utter violation of High Court directions, the police and other curfew enforcing agencies are not honouring the curfew passes and press identity cards and appealed to the public at large to bring its notice any such incidents with full particulars of the violators so that appropriate legal action could be initiated under law.
BAJ has asked the administration to order the withdrawal of army and create congenial atmosphere in allowing the people to ventilate their views in a peaceful and democratic manner. BAJ is of the opinion that ongoing mass agitation cannot be curbed by the administration by resorting to such like tactics. BAJ further stated that it is the duty of administration to analyze and understand the sentiments expressed by the people of Jammu region in one voice by chanting slogans "Bum-Bum bole" " Bharat Mata Ki Jai" which in any manner is not an offence rather a constitutional guarantee in a secular state and a basic feature of the Constitution.
BAJ in its meeting appealed to the army authorities not to be trapped by the sinister designs of the local administration by deputing its soldiers in the streets of Jammu as the people of Jammu have always praised the services rendered by the Indian Army in this sensitive state and held them in high esteem. The BAJ is of the view that the Indian Army may be trained for fighting insurgency and militants and the not the peaceful agitators and it appears to be a deliberate attempt by the Kashmir-Centric administration to malign the reputation of Indian army in the eyes of people of Jammu who have always loved them from the core their heart.
It has also appealed to the lawyers' fraternity of the country to come forward and support the cause of Shri Amarnathji Sangarsh Samiti and also appealed to Muslim Samaj of Jammu Province to maintain communal harmony throughout the province by protecting the life and property of Hindu brothers who are scattered throughout the Jammu province but are in minority.
