Shocking: Iltija Mufti on policeman kicking woman protester in J&K
In what has been widely condemned as a display of unprofessional and unacceptable behavior, a policeman in Jammu and Kashmir has been caught on camera kicking a female protester. The incident, which has sparked outrage across the region, has been strongly condemned by various quarters, including the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Reacting to the video, PDP’s Iltija Mufti, daughter of late Chief Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed, took to social media to express her shock and disappointment at the policeman’s behavior. “Shocking and unbecoming for a policeman to kick a woman only because she was peacefully protesting against the mysterious deaths in Devsar,” she tweeted.
The video, which has been widely circulated on social media, shows a policeman kicking a woman protester who was part of a group of people protesting against the mysterious deaths in Devsar, Kulgam. The protesters were demanding justice for the victims and an investigation into their deaths.
Iltija Mufti’s tweet highlighted the issue of the high-handed behavior of the police, which she said creates a trust deficit between the authorities and the people. “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 once again raised questions about the behavior of the police in Jammu and Kashmir, which has been criticized in the past for using excessive force against protesters. The police have also been accused of being biased towards certain communities and groups, which has led to widespread resentment and mistrust.
The video has sparked widespread condemnation on social media, with many people calling for the policeman to be held accountable for his actions. Several political leaders and activists have also spoken out against the incident, demanding that action be taken against the policeman and that the government takes steps to ensure that such incidents do not happen in the future.
The incident is also seen as a setback for the government’s efforts to improve the situation in the Valley, which has been plagued by violence and unrest for several years. The government has been trying to restore peace and normalcy in the region, but incidents like these are seen as a major obstacle to achieving that goal.
The police have since launched an investigation into the incident and have suspended the policeman involved. However, many people are demanding that he be arrested and charged for his actions.
The incident highlights the need for greater accountability and transparency in the police department. It also underscores the importance of ensuring that the police are equipped to handle protests and other forms of dissent in a peaceful and professional manner.
In conclusion, the incident of a policeman kicking a woman protester in Jammu and Kashmir is a shocking and disturbing display of behavior. It highlights the need for greater accountability and transparency in the police department and underscores the importance of ensuring that the police are equipped to handle protests and other forms of dissent in a peaceful and professional manner. It is essential that the government takes steps to address these issues and ensures that such incidents do not happen in the future.
