Srinagar: President Doctors Association of Kashmir Dr Nisar-ul-Hassan Tuesday in statement said that inaction of government against Dr Saleem-ur-Rehman on molestation charges has send shock waves across the valley. The lack of action against the accused means that women cannot raise voice against atrocities inflicted on them. Despite public anger and uproar against this horrifying act, government is indifferent.
He said that Police has already given a clean chit to the accused hours after the lodgment of FIR by negating allegations of the victim.
Dr Saleem is continuing with his position despite serious allegations against him. He is misusing his position by holding press conferences through his accomplices and issuing statements to media claming his innocence, he said adding that the People have lost faith and trust in the system because there is no action against culprits. Women feel insecure and unsafe and there is despair and hopelessness in them.
This lawlessness will increase sexual assaults on women as there is no fear of accountability. On one hand the principal of a school is suspended and arrested in a jiffy for molestation but Saleem is enjoying the impunity of law. Saleem is a darling of police and government as he is above the law of the land.
President DAK said that the inaction will tell upon the government and will cost it heavy. People have registered inaction and will give their verdict at appropriate time. If government is left with some semblance of conscience then it should immediately arrest and suspend Dr Saleem.
