Srinagar: An independent MLA sought to move a resolution condemning Major Leetul Gogoi for using a civilian as a human shield against stone-pelting in the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly on Saturday.
Shiekh Abdul Rashid sought to move the resolution in the state Assembly which met in Srinagar for a special session on the implementation of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) in the state.
Speaking at the obituary reference in the house Er. Rashid said, Neither those martyred with the bullets of security forces nor those policemen killed at the hands of militants need condolences from the house of deaf and dumb. If Army Chief calls every Kashmiri taking to roads as OGW of militant outfits, what is the fun of paying tributes to civilians.
Let the house understand that wrapping up dead bodies of soldiers in tri-colour does not serve any purpose to the families of deceased soldiers, he said.
Rashid said, In fact the policemen and the soldiers also want a time bound resolution of Kashmir dispute, but unfortunately have not the authority to speak for themselves and their top brasses are just adding fuel to the fire for their personal vested interests.
Er. Rashid reminded Mehbooba Mufti that she didnt bother to investigate even a single case why police and other agencies compelled youth to take to arms.
While pointing towards Mehbooba Mufti he said You didnt gave any ear to Zubair Turrays revelations why he turned a militant and you never spoke even a word on Major Gogoi or Bipin Rawat. Those comparing Indian policy with that of Israel are wrong, as Israel is a much civilized county as compared to India and their Army Chief doesnt threaten the masses as a whole.
What the families of militants are facing at the hands of Army and security agencies is shameful and unacceptable and if top cops really care for their jawans, they must persuade Govt. for a durable ceasefire.
Er. Rashid clarified that Kashmiris are not begging for talks and warned NC, PDP not to dilute the internationally recognized dispute of J&K.
He added Let everybody be cautious that nobody will own autonomy or even bigger than that, as there is no substitute to right to self-determination. It is New Delhi which begs for talks and now the situation has reached a point where even most hard core political leaders are losing relevance and it is only the militant leadership which can ever take a decision viz-a-viz nature of talks.
“A day will come when people of Jammu & Kashmir will get right to self-determination, MLA declared.
Rashid also placed a resolution before the house seeking unanimous condemnation against Major Gogoi for using civilian Farooq Ahmad Dar as a human shield in Budgam and also sought condemnation for those who defended and rewarded the guilty major.
However speaker despite receiving the resolution didnt take it up for voting. Following this Er. Rashid lashed out at all the members of the house during their silence to pay homage to those politicians who expired in between the two sessions.
