| PDP welcomes CBI clean chit to Kashmiri youth | | Reinvestigate all cases against Kashmiri youth: Mehbooba | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
SRINAGAR, Nov 17: Welcoming the clean chit given by the CBI to the two Kashmiri youth arrested by Delhi police in 2006 for alleged terror charges, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) today called for review of all the cases against the Kashmiri youth arrested on similar charges from various parts of the country.
In a statement issued here today, PDP President Mehbooba Mufti said the clean chit given by the CBI to the two Kashmiri youth Mohammed Arif Qamar and Irshad Ali, arrested by the Special Cell of the Delhi Police on alleged terror charges from G T Karnal Road in north Delhi in February 2006, has necessitated the urgency of reinvestigating the similar cases against the Kashmiri youth languishing in various jails of the country for years. She said as has been established by the CBI, most of such youth may be innocent and they could have been targeted by some unscrupulous and greedy police officials for promotions and rewards
"The CBI investigations have clearly pointed out about a nexus between various security agencies and the police in framing the Kashmiri youth on alleged terror charges," Mehbooba said and added that it should be a matter of grave concern for all the conscientious citizens of the State and the country. "Nobody should be allowed to play with the lives and career of the innocent Kashmiri youth for promotions and rewards or any other considerations," she said and added that a thorough review of cases against the Kashmiri youth, including students and businessmen, has become imperative, especially in view of the changed dynamics of terror investigations across the country where the cohorts of RSS and Bajrang Dal are emerging as the main suspects," she said.
She said, as recommended by the CBI, not only disciplinary action should be taken against the cops in various states for detaining the Kashmiri youth on flimsy grounds and ruin their reputation and careers, but the victims should also be adequately compensated. "The CBI enquiry has put a question mark on the veracity of the claims made by the police in various states regarding the involvement of the Kashmiri youth in acts of terror," she said and added that as scores of such youth are still languishing in various jails outside the State, all such cases need to be reinvestigated in a time-bound manner to ascertain the facts. |
