Srinagar, July 05(KMW): Terming the arrest of youth in Kashmir Valley as “frustration” on part of the government, Jama’at Islamia—a socio-religious organization, Monday warned of serious ramification against it.
“In quite contradiction to the government claims, CRPF personnel are continuing their unbridled actions and are bent upon causing loss to the life and property of the people,” a spokesman of the Jama’at, Advocate Zahid Ali told Press Bureau of India in a statement. “In Khanqah Mohalla and Shamaswari in Srinagar, the personnel went berserk and broke the glass panes of the standing vehicles besides causing a great loss to the residential houses. In Mattan Chowk, Khanabal, Ashagi Pora and other areas of Islamabad, they ruthlessly beat the innocent people going on the roads without any justification, causing physical injuries to some of them,” he said, adding, “Moreover, to overawe the people into submission and stop them from holding protests against the state oppression, the police has started arrest of youth on a large scale. This attitude of the administration depicts its frustration. Detaining Sheikh Arkam of Jogi Lankar (8th Class Student) and lodging him in court Balwal Jail under PSA is a glaring example of state tyranny. The youth under custody are facing very harsh treatment. Such cruel tactics will solve no problem but may lead to an uglier situation.”
He said that instead of accepting the “genuine” demand of the entire population of Islamabad to take stern action against the police personnel involved in the “heinous crime of the mass-murder of three innocent youth”, the administration has adopted repressive methods to suppress the voice of people. “Curfew like situation has been created in the city and other main towns of the valley to stop people from going to Islamabad and at many places the police has ruthlessly beaten the people particularly the professional laborers while going to their work places and thereby created an atmosphere of terror which goes quite against the very purpose of police.”
“This role was played by the dacoits in the ancient times. Now if the same role is played by the uniform-clad forces, what name they should be given?”
Jamaat-e-Islami, he said, offer sincere advice to the government of India that it should stop the repressive policies in Kashmir and try to understand the real aspirations of the people. “Then honor these aspirations according to the promises it has made to them before the international community. This is the good-for-all method because the suppression of the aspirations of any nation yields no results,” he added.
