Shocking: Iltija Mufti on policeman kicking woman protester in J&K
The recent video showing a policeman kicking a female protester in Jammu and Kashmir has sparked outrage and condemnation across the region. The incident took place in Devsar, Kulgam, where protesters were demonstrating against the mysterious deaths in the area.
The clip, which has gone viral on social media, shows a policeman in uniform kicking a woman protester who was peacefully protesting along with others. The video has sparked widespread anger and criticism against the authorities, with many calling for action to be taken against the policeman involved.
Reacting to the incident, PDP leader Iltija Mufti said, “Shocking and unbecoming for a policeman to kick a woman only because she was peacefully protesting against the mysterious deaths in Devsar. It’s this high-handed behaviour from those expected to uphold the law that creates a trust deficit…alienating people even further.”
Mufti’s statement highlights the growing concern about the treatment of protesters in Jammu and Kashmir, particularly women. The region has been plagued by ongoing protests and clashes between security forces and civilians, including women, who are demanding justice and an end to the mysterious deaths in the area.
The incident has also sparked concerns about the lack of accountability among the security forces. The policeman involved in the incident has not been identified or suspended, despite widespread condemnation. This lack of accountability has created a sense of impunity among the security forces, leading to further human rights abuses and violations.
The reasons behind the mysterious deaths in Devsar and other parts of Jammu and Kashmir are still unclear. However, the protesters have been demanding an investigation into the deaths and an end to the alleged human rights abuses by the security forces.
The incident has also raised questions about the role of the government in ensuring the safety and security of protesters. The government has a responsibility to protect the rights of its citizens, including the right to peaceful protest. However, in this case, the government’s failure to act has created a sense of powerlessness and frustration among the protesters.
The reaction to the incident has also highlighted the growing divide between the government and the people of Jammu and Kashmir. The region has been under lockdown for months, with restrictions on movement and communication. The protesters are demanding an end to the lockdown and an end to the alleged human rights abuses by the security forces.
In a statement, the Jammu and Kashmir Police said that an investigation has been launched into the incident and that the policeman involved has been placed under suspension. However, the protesters are demanding more action to be taken against the policeman and an end to the alleged human rights abuses by the security forces.
The incident has also sparked concerns about the impact on the relationship between the security forces and the people of Jammu and Kashmir. The region has a long history of conflict and violence, and the lack of trust between the security forces and the people has created a sense of fear and mistrust.
In conclusion, the incident of a policeman kicking a female protester in Jammu and Kashmir is a shocking reminder of the ongoing human rights abuses and violations in the region. The incident has sparked widespread outrage and condemnation, and it is essential that the government takes immediate action to address the concerns of the protesters. The people of Jammu and Kashmir deserve to be treated with dignity and respect, and it is the responsibility of the government to ensure their safety and security.
