JAMMU, Jan 2: Strongly condemning the threatening language used by PDP president Mehbooba Mufti against the Governor and Police authorities, JKNPP chairman and former Minister Harsh Dev Singh today sought appropriate legal proceedings against the former Chief Minister.
Addressing a press conference here today Singh regretted that not only the Police officers but the Constitutional head of the State was also threatened by the erstwhile Chief Minister only to prove her love for the anti-nationals and terrorists.
“Is there none to take cognizance of the criminal and seditions acts of the erstwhile Chief Minister? Are these powerful people above law? Has Mehbooba Mufti been granted immunity from legal action despite her criminal conduct and seditious utterances?” Questioned Harsh Dev while seeking initiation of criminal proceedings against the ex-CM and her party leaders for open defiance of law.
Taking a dig at Mehbooba Mufti for her opposition to the questioning of terrorists’ families by Police, Singh asked her to remember the atrocities committed by her Govt during her Chief Ministership on opposition leaders and their family members through use of brute police force. “During your Govt, the police was abused to harass, intimidate, browbeat and torture the opposition leaders, their only fault being that they exposed the omissions and commissions of the Coalition Govt. Not only the opposition leaders but their family members and spouses were also tortured and booked in false and frivolous cases merely for opposing the polices of PDP-BJP regime. Never did it occur to her at that point of time that innocents are being harassed and booked in frivolous FIRs only for political reasons. And now, when siblings and sympathizers of the terrorists were being questioned she had started opposing the move and was openly supporting those waging war against the country”, NPP leader said.
Pointing further towards the blatant defiance of sec 144 CrPc, a couple of days back by PDP leaders who entered the Civil Secretariat along with hundreds of Party men and hurled out filthy abuses and threats upon Advisors and other authorities, Singh regretted that they too were allowed immunity and no cognizance of the unlawful activity was taken.
