| Irshad's death in Delhi exploited by separatists | | editorial | |
The death under mysterious circumstances of a Kashmiri youth, Irshad
Ahmed Lone of Channa Pura, Srinagar, an engineering graduate, in
Delhi, where he had gone in search for a job, is highly tragic indeed.
It was natural for the tragedy to cause a pall of gloom among his
parents, relatives and even in the circle known to him. The death of a
brilliant youth in the country's capital is a sad reflection on the
law and order scenario in the country. However terming this tragedy as
a cold blooded murder and alleging the same to be the handiwork of the
Delhi police, by torturing him under custody, without any evidence to
the effect is far fetched and totally unjustified. And even if, for
the argument sake, the allegations leveled by the Kashmiri separatist
leaders that Irshad Lone was detained by the Delhi police and then
tortured to death is accepted, the inference drawn that the Kashmiris
in other parts of the country are not safe and they are subjected to
torture, humiliation and killing for the sole reason of their being
Kashmiris is totally unacceptable and illogical suggestion. The
secessionist in Kashmir are always out to find some alibi or excuse to
let loose anti India tirade. Weather It is the coming into light of a
sex scandal, involving Kashmiri woman notwithstanding the fact that
the exploiters who plunder the honour of these women are themselves
Kashmiris, or even a natural calamity that befalls Kashmir valley or
even if an epidemic breaks out, it are the Indian authorities and the
security forces which are at the receiving end at the hands of
separatists. The Delhi police who has been investigating the death of
Irshad lone, under mysterious circumstances, have found no evidence
and no record of the victim youth having been arrested by the police
on any charge, not to speak of any torture. In fact law and order
situation in the country's capital is at such a low ebb that the
people belonging to various parts of the country and even the
inhabitants of Delhi itself do not feel quite safe. Invariably there
are reports of some murder in some locality of Delhi, kidnapping and
committing of rape on a woman, including some foreigners. The victims
belong to all parts of the country, weather they are Biharis, Upites,
Bengalis, Punjabis or from Southern states. Similarly many innocents
belonging to any part of the country, on occasions fall prey to the
highhandedness of the police. Politicizing the tragic death of a
Kashmiri youth and using the same to bolster anti India tirade and
create scare among the Kashmiris against visiting other parts of the
countries either in search of jobs, for business or for sight scene
etc is totally uncalled far. A quite large number of Kashmiri Muslim
have been living, working or visiting Delhi as well as other parts of
the country without being touched by anybody. They find themselves
perfectly save in any part of the country. The boot is rather in the
other leg. Taking undue advantage of the warm hospitality, liberal
attitude of the people in the country even some Kashmiri terrorists
find safe heaven in Delhi and other parts of the country and they have
also succeeded in indulging in acts of sabotage and subversion taking
advantage of the liberty enjoyed by them and the people around about
them least suspecting their motives and bonafides. The leaders of
various secessionist outfits freely have sojourn to Delhi as well as
other parts of the country, where they enjoy so much the liberty, even
to propagate their secessionist views and anti India campaign.
