| PDP workers injured in police action | | 4 arrested, Mahbooba takes note | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
Srinagar, July 15: Police resorted to cane charge to foil a protest demonstration by Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) youth wing here today. Several workers sustained injuries in the police action.
According to reports PDP workers led by Nisar Ahmad Mandoo staged a demonstration here today to seek release of all political prisoners. The demonstrators also sought an end to what they called police harassment.
The police, reports said, swung into action and cane charged the demonstrators causing injuries to some of them. The injured were removed to hospital. The police later took into custody several demonstrators. They have been identified as Showkat Gayoor, Nazir Ahmed Yatoo, Parvez Ahmed and Ali Mohd Baba.
The PDP President Mehbooba Mufti has strongly condemned use of focre on peaceful protestors. She said the government had choked the democratic space in the state. "They have imposed a virtual marshal law in Kashmir as no voice of dissent is heard or tolerated", she said.
Mehbooba said the coalition government seems to be feeling too insecure to even allow normal democratic activity in the state, but the PDP would continue to raise issues of public interest with full force, howsoever uncomfortable this may be for rulers. She said Jammu & Kashmir is being isolated from the democratic liberties enjoyed by rest of the country and the government here is trying to silence all voices of concern, anguish and dissent through wanton use of police and security forces.
