| Govt not separatists expect agitation in summer! | | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, May 2: Surprisingly the separatists seem least bothered about the agitation that the government expects in June. While Syed Ali Geelani and other important separatist leaders have ruled out yet another agitation this summer, the police held a march in Srinagar last week to convey a `message' to the people.
The police march follows directions of the DGP to deal sternly with `unscrupulous' elements. The police crackdown on `mischief mongers' continues and according to rough estimates thousands of youth have been taken into custody.
How do they know that Kashmir is going to witness trouble yet again this summer? Surprisingly the separatists seem least bothered about the agitation that the government expects in summer. The Mirwaiz led Hurriyat has already issued a statement expressing serious concern over arrest of innocent persons across Kashmir. "Indiscriminate arrests and reckless use of PSA" have been equaled to genocide by the conglomerate. Nocturnal raids and arrest of youth have created a fear psychosis in the city. People by and large support the preventive measures taken by the police and the civil administration. However, "unleashing a reign of terror" in the garb of preventing a future agitation irks them. "The government must keep its eyes wide open. Any mistake will prove disastrous. If the present trend continues then people may not wait for June", said a Hurriyat activist. The Geelani Hurriyat has rejected the rumors of another agitation this year as ridiculous. Geelani said the rumor was spread by unscrupulous elements. However, Geelani made clear that the people will remain calm if `police behave properly'. He said if police resorted to killings, then the people will have no option but to come out on the streets. The police seem to have taken Geelani's `warning' seriously. The police have been using water canon's for the past two months to quell protests. |
