SRINAGAE: MLA Langate Er Rashid has condoled the family and natives of Sunnaullah, a Pakistani citizen who today succumbed to the injuries caused during an attack on him in the Kot Bulwal Jail.
In a statement he said that Sunnaullah is not the first prisoner who has fallen victim of biased, communal and dirty attitude of Jail authorities as the records reveal that so far nearly one dozen Kashmiri and Pakistani prisoners especially militants have lost their
lives in different jails in and out side state due to the brutalities and carelessness of jail authorities.
The only difference in todays incident and previous incidents is that todays incident was purely an act of revenge of attack on Sarabjit in Pakistani Jail which led to the policy of eye for eye between the two countries, he said and added that communal and inhuman role of Kot Bulwal Jail Superintendent Rajni Sehgal towards Kashmiri and Pakistani Prisoners was known to everybody and record of the assembly is enough evidence to prove that I have raised my voice time and again during last three years against the worst attitude and behaviour of the said officers towards the prisoners.
But the government never gave any heed to the issue. Attack on Sunnaullah was not a coincident but an organized act carried out by the jail authorities and Rajni should
be booked for the murder and her services should be terminated as every day it has been proved that she does not deserve such a prestigious post, he alleged.
The MLA Langate expressed sympathy with the Pakistani and Kashmiri prisoners in Kot Blair Jail who today raised strong protest inside the jail against the murder of Sunnaullah. He warned jail authorities against any retaliatory action against prisoners and said that if Jail authorities in Kot Blair do not change their attitude towards Kashmiri and Pakistani prisoners, he will not hesitate from protesting in front of Kot Balwal Jail and will ensure that the dirty and inhuman attitude of govt and jail authorities comes to an end.
