PRP demands security to its leaders

Excelsior Correspondent
JAMMU, July 11: People’s Republican Party (PRP) in its meeting at Srinagar today has expressed grave concern of Government’s failure to provide security to the Party leaders who contested the last year Assembly elections in the State to strengthen the democratic process.
The meeting, which was chaired by PRP chief spokesperson, Mir Ghulam Rasool Butwani made an appeal to Chief Minister, Mufti Mohammed Sayeed in this regard. The meeting which was addressed by other leaders of the party including Mr Hamdard and Mr War said that the government was responsible for the safety and security of Party leaders who contested the last year’s Assembly elections in the State to strengthen the democratic process.
They said under the prevailing scenario in the Valley the PRP leaders need to be provided proper security as they took a challenge to strengthen the democratic process in the State by entering the poll fray and openly opposed those forces who were creating impediments in strengthening the democracy in the State and taking it 50 years behind.
Mir said instead of encouraging the PRP so that more and more people in Valley would join the mainstream, the Government was discouraging its leadership for unknown reasons.
