Arrests of Kashmiri youth, students will not solve Pahalgam’s tragic episode: Rehmani
#Pahalgam
Islamabad: Senior leader of All Parties Hurriyat Conference Azad Jammu and Kashmir (APHC-AJK) chapter Muhammad Farooq Rehmani, has expressed grave concern over developing of a fresh cycle of hazards and odds to the life of youth in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir and a large number of students in different education institutions, and Kashmiri traders across India after the Pahalgam tragedy.
According to Kashmir Media Service, Muhammad Farooq Rehmani in a statement in Islamabad, strongly condemning the unexpected and gruesome murders of civilians by unknown gunmen on last Tuesday in the thick meadow of the Valley, warned that indiscriminate arrests of the Kashmiri youth, students or political workers in thousands and registering false cases or creating fake encounters and killing them brutally in custody, will not solve the tragic episode of the Pahalgam forest Valley.
He feared that the Indian police, army and paratroopers were behaving madly in their search for the culprits of the incident and had arrested thousands of Kashmiris and political sympathisers in Islamabad district of the territory and other parts of Jammu and Kashmir.
Muhammad Farooq Rehmani said instead of probing the April 22 carnage fairly and impartially, the agencies and the so-called law enforcement agencies were giving testimony of their hate and anger against the Kashmiri Muslims and thereby harming any impartial investigation.
He said the police and army authorities are risking life and honour of the citizens and political workers and using third degree methods of torture during their raids on houses and police interrogations and themselves hiding facts of the Pahalgam incident.
Rehmani made it clear that every Kashmiri was equally shocked over an unfortunate incident but was against the twisted approach of the Indian government.
He appealed to the UN Secretary General to keep an eye on the way India was handling the matter as there was no fair play but arrested people were being tortured or killed in custody with third degree methods.
