Expressing profound grief over the killing of a civilian during a cordon and search operation in Srinagar, National Conference on Thursday demanded a time bound probe into the matter.
Expressing solidarity with the family of Saleem Malik, National Conference senior leader and MLA Iddgah Mubarak Gul extended his heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family and prayed for peace to the departed soul.
“It’s really unfortunate and condemnable that how civilians are being targeted with no sense of remorse by security forces during such operations. It has in fact become a routine now,” said Gul.
“I demand a thorough time bound investigation into the killing of Saleem so that culprit is identified and booked,” he said.
Earlier, senior PDP leader Altaf Bukhari termed the civilian killing as ‘cold blooded murder’.
He demanded an impartial probe at the highest level so that the culprits of this brutal killing are booked and brought to justice.
“Unfortunately some vested interests in security forces have become trigger happy and feel emboldened after every such incident in Kashmir. Like in any other part of the State, such forces with nefarious designs, want to shatter the semblance of peace and tranquility in Srinagar city,” he said.
