Rebuffing the “Inquiry Report” prepared by Divisional Commissioner, Jammu on the direction of Chief Minister on Karnaila Chak incident, various Gujjar and Bakerwal organizations of Jammu and Kashmir today termed it as a politically motivated, unrealistic and malafide. Addressing a joint Press Conference here at Press Club the Gujjar leaders demanded an independent CBI enquiry or judicial probe by a high court Judge into the incident.
Anwar Choudhary, State President of Gujjars United Front, Haji Shamsher Ali Boken, State President of J&K Gujjar Bakerwal Joint Forum, Ch Ghulam Rasool Chief Organiser Jammu Kashmir Gujjar Bakerwal Conference and leaders of uprooted families includes Asghar Chowdhary, Fazal Din , Mohd Yousuf and Abdul Rashid while addressing the media persons alleged that the “Divisional Commissioner” in its report shielded the Police and local Administration including the officials of Forest Department who are responsible for torching of more than 31 huts of nomadic Gujjars.
The leaders further stated that Police is still harassing the Gujjars of the area and high officials are bent upon to uproot and dislocate the nomadic and tribal community from periphery areas of Jammu , Kathua and Udhampur.
“The enquiry report is totally unrealistic and politically motivated and was prepared to shield the officers and officials who were responsible for such type of inhuman action against Gujjars , said Anwar Chowdhary adding that the report is totally silent about atrocities of Police against Gujjars”. He said , since the incedent we are demanding action against the culprits but nothing has been done by the government..
The said that if Omar lead government is serious about the matter they must put the prima-facie responsible officers under suspension and then conduct any enquiry in the matter. He also alleged that Police and Divisional Commissioner Jammu turned the case “atrocities against Gujjars” into “land grabbing” case which is really unfortunate. The word “land grabbers” was invented in the enquiry report by Div. Com to harass Gujjars, Anwar Chowdhary said..
Haji Shamsher Ali Boken said the government is bent upon to snatch the constitutional rights of Scheduled Tribe communities including the right of cultivation on Forest lands. He added that Forest, JDA and Police are jointly distressing and harassing the Tribals on behest of the State Government which is painful and intolerable.
“We are going to stage a massive Dharna in front of Parliament of India to protests against the State Governments sadest approach on Tribal issues said Gh. Rasool Choudhary added that no compensation was granted to the effected families till date and government is sleeping over the issue.
“Our children and livestock are with out food and fodders and the Divisional Commissioner Jammu, Deputy Commissioner Jammu and other authorities are not ready to listen us , said Fazal Din a leader of uprooted families added that local Police is harassing us on the name of land grabbers . If any body is grabbers we also demand punishment for him.
The leaders have jointly demanded that the State government should immediately dropped all the cases file against Gujjars who are arrested after the Karainla chak incident and termed it as false and manipulated.
