Srinagar- Police on Monday foiled National Conference (NC) women’s wing march to Lal Chowk against the mysterious disappearance of 10,000 women in J&K since 2019.
Scores of NC women’s wing activists led by their State President, Shamima Firdous took out a protest rally from party headquarters Nawai-Subh against the alleged mysterious disappearances of 10,000 women in J&K since 2019.
Demanding the whereabouts of the missing women, protesters asked the government to hold an impartial probe into their mysterious disappearances and bring the perpetrator to justice.
They were shouting slogans against UT and central government’s for allegedly being unable to trace the missing women, who they alleged have either been kidnapped or put on sale in outside states.
As soon as the marchers, amid sloganeering, reached near Tourist Reception Center (TRC) Crossing, a posse of police deployed in advance prevented them from moving ahead. The marchers later dispersed peacefully.
Talking to the reporters, NC Women’s Wing State President and former MLA Habakadal, Shamima Firdous while lamenting over the alleged inability of the government to trace the missing women, said why was the government silent on such a grave issue for the last five years.
She said the LG government on one hand claims that the situation has normalized in the valley since the abrogation of Article 370 and 35A while on the other, 10,000 women are reported to have gone missing since the center revokes constitutional autonomy of the erstwhile state.
“We demand an impartial probe into the mysterious disappearances of our 10,000 sisters since 2019 in J&K. If the government makes tall claims of normalcy in J&K then why do these issues of major concern take place in our valley,” she added.
