Srinagar : Accusing police and civil administration of acting like workers of Sang Parivar and other anti-Kashmir forces, AIP Supremo and MLA Langate Er. Rasheed Friday condemned government for barring people from offering Friday prayers at Jamia Masjid Srinagar for the second consecutive week.
In a statement issued today, Er. Rasheed said It is strange that the Government was doing everything to facilitate Amarnath Yatra and ensure their safe journey but was depriving the state subjects of their religious rights.”
“While Govt. itself claims that Yatra is under threat of militants but still ensures it goes on uninterrupted for weeks together and on the other hand it cant ensure Friday prayers which take hardly an hour or so to complete, despite the fact that there is no threat to it from any quarter, Rasheed said.
Er. Rasheed added that Govt. has been more than cruel not only to common Kashmiris but to elderly Geelani and spiritual and religious leader Mirwaiz Umer Farooq by curbing their fundamental and religious freedom.
He said those preaching every time safeguarding and respecting dignity and honour of the women fail to answer why state is so scared of Asiya Andrabi that she has been jailed in a miserable cell at Jammu Jail.
Er. Rasheed rejected constituting of Special investigating Team (SIT) by J&K Police, for the reason that the security agencies are themselves under the clout of doubt over the incident.
He said It would have been proper to investigate the incident through some credible international agency, but New Delhi will never allow that as it has nothing to defend. However if it could use NIA to humiliate resistance leaders for political ambitions, for the sake of investigation it should have handed over the investigation to NIA.
