| Boniyar Killing part of government terror:PDP | | `NC promotes impunity’ | | early times report
Srinagar, January 3: The Peoples Democratic Party president Mahbooba Mufti today flayed Omar led government for “its failure on all fronts.” She was addressing people at Boniyar today where she had gone to convey her condolences to the family of Altaf. “NC has traditionally promoted culture of impunity”, she said.
She said, “Use of brute force by government is to muzzle the voice of people who are suffering unprecedented problems as a result of mis-governance.” She was accompanied by party general Secretary Mohammed Dilawar Mir and members of party’s Baramulla District body.
Mehbooba said the present government has been using force to put fear in the minds of people from day one with the objective of preventing an uprising against its misrule. Silencing of Haji Yousuf last October was a part of the same strategy so that no body dared to talk about corruption in the govt or in Abdullah family, she said. “The killing of 120 youth in 2010 was a message written in blood to a generation not to speak up for their democratic rights under NC rule”, she added.
Accusing the government of being insensitive to the people’s demands, she said, “Its priorities are wrong and execution faulty and corrupt. The announcement that government would start operation of the Gas turbines to increase power supply to the valley could have come a few days earlier and the precious life of a young man could have been saved.”
Mehbooba said while entire state was suffering because of the handing over of prestigious power projects by successive NC government's to NHPC, the governmentt has failed miserably on management front as well. She said NC has traditionally taken people of Kashmir for ride on emotional and false promises but the public memory is not so short that they cannot recall how the power supply scenario had improved under the previous coalition in spite of the gap between supply and demand.
“The present government which came to power on the false and misplaced slogan of “Meter Todo Heater lagao”, she said adding , “Omar Abdullah had even gone to the extent of promising free power and free gas to the people and now under his govt they are receiving bullets for demanding even paid electricity.”
Reiterating her party’s demand that the areas close to power projects should be provided free and uninterrupted electricity Mehbooba said this should apply to Boniyar and other villages adjacent to Uri Hydel project as well.
Condoling the death of Altaf in cold blood Mehbooba said the inquiry ordered by the CM is only an eye wash. “What happened to inquiries and police cases that have been instituted so for” she asked. She said there has been no progress even in a single case of state atrocity right from the killing of a young man in AlochiBag, killing of Zahid Farooq, Wamiq Farooq, three Children in Anantnag, Haji Yusuf and more than a hundred others.
She said lodging and FIR or ordering an inquiry has become a stock response of this govt to all human rights violations just to take the heat off the moment. “Once things settle down the tragedies forgotten”, she said adding “the incident at Boniyar only refreshed the wounds of those who lost more than half a dozen young men during previous Farooq Abdullah regime, protesting power shortage”. She said NC governments traditionally promoted a culture of impunity and Omar Abdullah is no different.
