‘FIRs another tool to protect the killers’
Srinagar: Holding the Defense Minister and the Army Chief, who praised Major Gogoi for using Farooq Dar as human shield, directly responsible for “the brutal murder of Tanveer Ahmad Wani” at Beerwah, AIP Supremo and MLA Langate Er. Rasheed has asked police to “show guts and arrest Major Gogoi if they have some sense of responsibility”.
Tanveer Ahmad was allegedly killed in firing by the Indian armed forces today, Friday, after a cracker burst was mistaken for a grenade sound. Police has lodged a First Information Report (FIR) in the matter.
In a statement issued on Friday, Rasheed said “Let Indians feel some shame as their provocations embolden Major Gogoi who after using Farooq Ahmad Dar as a human shield today got murdered Tanveer Ahmad Wani at the hands of troopers of his company without none of his fault.”
“Why should not Arun Jaitley, Jitendra Singh and everyone else who praised Major Gogoi be held directly responsible for Tanveer’s brutal murder,” he asked.
Rasheed questioned lodging of FIR against the army and said that how does lodging FIR help if these FIR’s are thrown to the dustbin when neither any arrest are made, nor the cases are charge sheeted in the court of law.
“May one ask the top cops of J&K Police about the fate of FIR lodged against Major Gogoi for using Farooq Dar as human shield. Had some concrete action been taken after lodging of FIR, the same army would never have dared to kill another innocent in the area today,” Rasheed asked.
Rasheed appealed to the world community to take notice of the huge atrocities Kashmiris are facing and asked Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti to answer the questions every Kashmiri wants from her.
