Senior National Conference leader and Minister for Rural Development and Panchayats, Mr. Ali Mohammad Sagar today strongly criticised PDP President Mehbooba Mufti for politicising the Shopian incident and behaving irresponsibly as a leader of the opposition. He said by giving political twist to unfortunate incident, she was accentuating the grief of the victim family.
In a statement issued here today, Mr. Sagar said unlike the PDP government, the present government does not believe in speaking about human rights violations only when in power. He said Mr. Omar Abdullah’s government has made history by acting swiftly and awarding punishment to those found guilty of human rights violations.
Mr. Sagar said in the tragic incident of Shopian also, the government did not lose any time to set up a judicial probe to find out the truth. He said given the track record of the government, nobody should have any doubt about awarding exemplary punishment to anyone found guilty by the Commission of Inquiry. “The death of Neelofar and Asiya has shocked us and we are with the victim family in their hour of tragedy”, Sagar said, adding the government will not rest till it finds the truth behind their death.
Asking PDP president to stop shedding crocodile tears, the Minister said Mahbooba is coaxing people and misleading every one by stating that the police is refusing to register an FIR, which is not true since the victim’s family is free to file FIR if it so chooses.
The Minister said the government has entrusted the job of finding out the truth to the one-man Commission of Inquiry, which is free to subpoena any person or institution in its quest to search for truth. He said the government will sacrifice power for credibility and assured the people that no one, no matter who he was, will be shielded.
