PUF sit-in seeking tunnel for Karnah, Gurez enters second day
Seeks immediate enquiry into electrocution of three innocents in Tangdar
Srinagar: The sit-in organized by People United Front (PUF) seeking tunnel for Karnah and Gurez entered its second day on Wednesday.
AIP President Er Rasheed said that government must listen to peaceful voices and said that “If such voices go unheard it will create serious negative ramifications”.
“While masses need to speak in one voice against injustices they face, government must change its behavior and should discharge its duties without politicizing everything,” he said.
Rasheed said that “politicizing every issue and trying to create or find a political angle in issues of public interest is dangerous for the entire system and the society”.
AIP, he said, was “always ready to co-operate with other political parties on issue basis to ensure that justice is done. Since our sufferings and issues are common as such finding common minimum ground to address grievances should be priority of all forces”.
He said the PUF was ready to join hands with political parties “who really want sufferings of people of Karnah, Gurez and other remote areas should end”.
Rasheed questioned the national political parties for “ignoring the sufferings of people of border areas and said that these parties have often made tall claims about caring for the sufferings of people of J&K but when in power they show their colonial mindset”.
He also expressed shock over loss of lives three precious lives in Tangdar who were electrocuted just due to negligence of PDD department.
Seeking ex-gratia and other genuine benefits for the families of victims, Rasheed urged governor Satyapal Malik to prove his words and initiate an immediate, sincere and time bound enquiry to find by whose negligence the three innocent civilians lost their lives.
