| PDP troupes to Raj Bhawan Vohra denies audience | | | Early Times Report
Srinagar, June 22: A day after Justice Jan Commission of Inquiry proved Chief Minister Omar Abdullah’s assertions of ‘no rape, no murder’ wrong, the Peoples Democratic Party today further upped the ante and trouped to the Raj Bhawan petitioning before Governor for repeal of the Armed Forces Special Powers Act. The Police, however, thwarted the move and they were stopped at Dal Gate from moving forward.
The procession was led by Mehbooba Mufti and accompanied, among others, by senior party leaders including Molvi Iftikthar Hussain Ansari, Dillawar Mir, general secretary, Abdul Rashid Kabuli. The Governor refused to meet the PDP president and her colleagues citing his pre-occupation as the reason, a party handout claimed.
Talking to the media persons, present on the spot, the PDP president said that it was regrettable that the Governor, who had been an interlocutor of the central government to resolve Kashmir problem, had refused to meet the opposition leaders. She said the purpose to meet the Governor was to apprise him, as the representative of the central government, of the excesses and atrocities faced by the people of the state as a result of the intruding presence of security forces in the civilian areas and their powers under laws like AFSPA.
