| Omar can relax; thanks to Ruqaya's relatives | | Till next one goes down..... | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, July 23: The family of Kulgam rape victim today came to rescue of the Chief Minister by contrdicting her. The probe ordered into the incident will not be counted in enquiries ordered by Omar Abdullah during his regime.
Legal experts and human rights defenders believe the probes are ordered to quell public uproar. A human rights defender said: ''whenever a rights violation takes place, the government quickly orders inquiry to quell public uproar. This way they not only deflect the pressure but also aim to put up a clean image before the people. However, probes never reach completion."
The `cynicism' is not totally unfounded. The security agencies have not given a damn to the probes ordered by the state government. There have been cases where the security agencies have questioned the powers of the state government to probe excesses. Will Omar take necessary measures?
While ordering the probe yesterday, Omar said AFSPA would not hamper investigation. But if Omar's candid confession in his Tweet on May 14 reflects the helplessness of the Chief Minister. While admitting futility of probes, Omar tweeted: "We'll make a lot of noise & order inquiries & then forget about it till the next one goes down."
The Chief Minister saw murder of a physically challenged youth outside his residence on the day he assumed office. A probe was ordered. Findings still waited. Probes were ordered in Shopian twin murder/rape case. The victims found themselves as accused in a case registered by the CBI.
The only case where probe was completed in a week and the culprits booked under relevant sections of the Ranbir Penal Code (RPC) is Zahid Farooq's case. Zahid, a student got killed near Nishat on February 5 last year.
The Kulgam case is almost over now. A relieved Omar must thank the relatives of Ruqaya who saved him from shouldering the burden of yet another `probe'. |
