Hakeem Yaseen concerned over ‘unnecessary harassment’ of Kashmiri youth
Appeals for releasing of political prisoners on Eid
Srinagar: Chairman PDF Hakeem Yaseen has expressed serious concern over the “reign of terror let loose on the youth in various parts of the valley by the black sheep in security forces”.
Yaseen has also condemned use of “brute force on the innocent youth in Darmuna village of Central District of Budgam” which caused serious injuries to several youth.
In a statement, Hakeem Yaseen has said that due to “unprovoked harassment and insult to youth the security situation in the valley was going from bad to worst each passing day”.
He said on one hand authorities do make tall claims about peace initiatives in the restive valley “while on other hand they are resorting to anti people and anti youth means which has made the security situation in the state very explosive and volatile”.
Yaseen said the “arrest spree of youth underway in various areas of the valley has made life of the common people like hell”.
He has urged the Governor administration to take “stern action against the black sheep in belt forces who are every now seen violating SOPs for their ulterior motives”.
“Government shall have to take the youth on board and win their confidence before taking peace restoration measures in the state,” Yaseen said.
PDF Chief has also appealed to Governor S P Malik to release all the political prisoners on the eve of Eid-ul-Fitr “as a goodwill gesture so that they can celebrate this auspicious occasion along with their families”.
“This will be a good CBM towards restoration of peace,” Yaseen added. He also urged the need for shifting of all detenues from outside jails to Kashmir on humanitarian basis.
