SRINAGAR, May 1: Expressing grief and anguish over the killing of a Srinagar youth in firing by forces last evening, PDP senior leader and former Deputy Chief Minister, Muzaffar Hussain Baig has said that dealing with such tragic incidents on case-to-case basis has proved quite inadequate and recurrent innocent deaths underline the urgency of initiating tangible the process for a lasting solution.
While talking to various delegations at Baramulla, Baig said the Omar Abdullah-led NC-Congress coalition has left deep scars of torment on the body and soul of J&K in its 6 years of draconian rule and unfortunately before being voted out, the present Government is trying to put Kashmir again on fire.
“Ironically, while the present Government set out with the terrible death of two innocent ladies of Shopian in 2009, on its way out in 2014, Omar Government seems to have not learnt any lessons from its past follies and is departing on a gory note with the latest spate of innocent killings,” he said and added that while the heartrending bloodbath of 120 innocents during 2010 unrest is still haunting the people, the present Government is setting the stage for another phase of death and destruction.
Referring to the last year’s killings in Gool and Markundal and this year in Naidkhai, Baig said the Omar Government can’t wash its hands of the heinous crimes and war it let loose upon the people in Kashmir. Four innocent youth were killed by the Government forces in Shopian at a time when Chief Minister and his elite company was busy enjoying Western music on the lawns of Shalimar Garden, he said.
The PDP leader said the NC always thrived on insecurity and at this crucial juncture when its very existence as a political party is threatened, the party is trying to create instability in Kashmir.
“After having lost its credibility among the people and without any solid performance report card in its hands, the NC is now looking for cheap ways to create instability in Kashmir,” he added.
