SRINAGAR, Dec 2: Pradesh Congress Committee president Ghulam Ahmed Mir was today disallowed to visit his home constituency Dooru, as his vehicles’ movement was restricted by the Police authorities on Jammu Srinagar National Highway today.
Consequently, Mir had to return Srinagar. He was scheduled to meet people, who were waiting for him in the area.
Congress Party has strongly condemned the Coalition Govt (PDP- BJP) for restricting the movement of State Congress chief with the fear of being getting exposed before the people for its dubious role being played in order to hide its failures and anti-people policies.
Lashing out at State Govt, PCC chief said that Govt must come clean on the murder of the Sajad Ahmad Malik (former Sarpanch), who was allegedly killed in Aagnoo village of Dooru.
Reacting to Police version, PCC chief said Police version with regard to this killing is not satisfactory, as there were different versions coming from the Police since yesterday evening. According to police statement the slain was killed after decamping with a rife along with one magazine from Police Station Dooru. Another version was that he was summoned for questioning. If this was a true version then how he was dropped by a police man himself at Aagno village, where he was shot dead ? This is some thing which needs to be probed and truth behind must be revealed to people, Mir said.
Refuting the Police claim about this gruesome murder, PCC chief said that the slain was detained on the charges of instigating trouble in the area during the period of upsurge and yesterday the police claimed that he had been called for questioning. The fact remains that the slain was being forced to work for PDP and which was not accepted by him, with the result, he was severely tortured. The PDP cannot escape the responsibility of this killing, Mir maintained.
PCC chief further said that after being detained on the charges of stone pelting, the slain villager despite getting bail from the court was not released. Where is the question of his being summoned for questioning? Mir said it was clear murder, which should be probed by a sitting High Court judge as that will only unearth the mystery behind this killing.
