SRINAGAR, Jan 12: People’s Democratic Party (PDP) president, Mehbooba Mufti today visited Goripora village in Bomai, falling in Sopore to condole the death of Sarpanch Habibullah Mir, who was killed by some unidentified gunmen a few days back.
Accompanied by the local party leader Dr Shehzad Aasim, Ms Mehbooba conveyed her sympathy to the bereaved family. She said that innocent killings have no place in the civil society and her party strongly condemned such incidents. She prayed for the peace to the departed soul and participated in ‘Fatiha’.
The PDP leader said it was unfortunate that the Government had put the lives of elected members of the village bodies in jeopardy through its selfish and narrow minded policies. She said the society which elected them should have given the strongest security for the Sarpanchs and Panchs, if the Government had empowered them.
Calling upon the Government to come out with investigation reports of the half a dozen village representatives killed so far, Ms Mehbooba said it is not enough for the Chief Minister to dub these killings as local conspiracies and forget about them. She said, if there was any conspiracies involved why doesn’t Government come out with full details? The victims have been peace loving respected members of the society and the Government can not escape responsibility, she maintained.
