Srinagar, November 17, 2021 (PPI-OT):Omar Abdullah, vice-president of National Conference has termed the forcible burial of Dr Mudassar Gul and businessman Altaf Ahmed as a crime against humanity. Dr Mudassar and Altaf along with two other civilians were martyred by Indian troops during a fake encounter at Haiderpora in Srinagar, the other day.
Omar Abdullah in a tweet said that both Kashmiri citizens were used as human shields and were later martyred. He said that forcible burial of the bodies of the martyrs in North Kashmir was a crime against humanity. He further added that the bodies should be handed over to their relatives for burial with honor and dignity.
Meanwhile, National Conference Vice President while addressing the provincial committee (Kashmir) meeting at party headquarters in Srinagar said the prevailing situation in Jammu and Kashmir belies the projected claims of peace and development by the Modi government on the abrogation of the Articles 370, 35-A.
“We were told that J and K was poised for big development and massive investment post Aug 05 2019 actions. Where is it? The ground reality in the streets and roads of Jammu and Kashmir belie such claims. Where is the projected dawn? On the contrary, the ruling dispensation has made J and K, a simmering cauldron of discontent with its lopsided policies.
Where are the anticipated results? After the rescinding of the provisions of Article 370, the picture has changed to worse. Reality is that there is a systematic disempowerment of people of Jammu and Kashmir that is continuing to happen, through bureaucratic rule.
The claims of the BJP government that the abrogation of Article 370 and downgrading of a State with special status into two union territories has paved the way for new industries, created new employment opportunities, decreased militancy, brought atmosphere of peace and security, nurtured democracy, eradicated corruption, brought new Central laws for betterment of people in this region are far-fetched. The ground situation belies these claims.”
