#CivilianKillingsKashmir
Srinagar: President of the Congress chapter in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir Tariq Hameed Karra has criticised the Indian government over killings in Kathua and north Kashmir.
According to Kashmir Media Service, Tariq Hameed Karra in a statement in Srinagar, reacting to the incidents, said civilian killings are on the rise, exposing the government’s tall claims of normalcy in occupied Jammu and Kashmir. “On one hand, they claim peace has been restored, and on the other, such brutal incidents keep happening. This shows their failure in handling the situation,” he added.
He held the Modi government responsible for the deteriorating situation in the occupied territoryJ, saying their policies towards Kashmir need immediate reconsideration. “They cannot go on like this. If they are true to their commitment to restoring normalcy, they must introspect and revisit their approach,” he maintrained.
Karra also slammed the dual control system in the occupied territory, saying it is adding to the chaos.
Reacting to a statement by the Chief Minister’s advisor that the elected government in occupied Jammu and Kashmir was not involved in decision-making and that the chief minister was not even consulted in key meetings, Karra remarked, “This is an insult to the electorate of Jammu and Kashmir and a blatant disregard for democratic norms.”
He questioned why the Lieutenant Governor (LG) was present at the meeting while the elected Chief Minister was sidelined. “This clearly shows there are two governments running occupied Jammu and Kashmir. The fate of an elected government is being decided by a few selected individuals, which is unacceptable,” he said.
