The recent video footage showing a policeman kicking a female protester in Jammu and Kashmir has sparked widespread outrage and condemnation. The incident took place during a protest against the mysterious deaths in Devsar, Kulgam, which has been a major point of contention in the region. The woman, who was peacefully protesting, was subjected to brutal force by the policeman, leaving many wondering how such behavior could be tolerated.
Reacting to the shocking incident, Iltija Mufti, the daughter of late chief minister Mehbooba Mufti and a politician herself, expressed her dismay and disappointment. “Shocking and unbecoming for a policeman to kick a woman only because she was peacefully protesting against the mysterious deaths in Devsar,” she said. “It’s this high-handed behaviour from those expected to uphold the law that creates a trust deficit…alienating people even further,” she added.
The incident has raised several questions about the treatment of protesters in Jammu and Kashmir, particularly women. The video footage shows the woman, who is still unidentified, being brutally kicked by the policeman as she lays on the ground. The incident has sparked widespread anger and frustration among the locals, who are already struggling to come to terms with the recent mysterious deaths in the region.
The protest in Devsar, Kulgam, was called to demand justice for the victims of the mysterious deaths. The protesters, who were mostly women and young men, were peaceful and unarmed, with many holding placards and banners demanding justice. However, the policeman, who was part of the security detail, saw fit to use brutal force to disperse the protesters.
The incident highlights the need for the authorities to take a closer look at the way they handle protests in the region. The use of force, particularly against women, is unacceptable and can only serve to create more tension and distrust between the people and the authorities.
