Shocking: Iltija Mufti on policeman kicking woman protester in J&K
In a disturbing incident that has left many shocked and outraged, a video surfaced showing a policeman kicking a female protester in Jammu and Kashmir. The incident took place during a protest against the mysterious deaths in Devsar, a town in Kulgam district. The protest was peaceful, with the protesters demanding justice for the victims and an investigation into the circumstances surrounding their deaths.
The policeman’s actions, caught on camera, have sparked widespread condemnation and outrage. Iltija Mufti, a prominent leader of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), has strongly reacted to the incident, calling it “shocking and unbecoming” for a policeman to kick a woman simply because she was peacefully protesting.
“It’s shocking and unbecoming for a policeman to kick a woman only because she was peacefully protesting against the mysterious deaths in Devsar,” Mufti said. “It’s this high-handed behaviour from those expected to uphold the law that creates a trust deficit…alienating people even further.”
Mufti’s remarks highlight the growing concerns about the use of force by law enforcement agencies in Jammu and Kashmir. The incident is not an isolated one, with several reports of police brutality and human rights violations in the region.
The protest in Devsar was called by the PDP and other political parties to demand justice for the victims of mysterious deaths in the region. The deaths, which have been reported in several areas, have sparked widespread anger and fear among the local population.
The police, however, have maintained that the deaths were due to natural causes, but the protesters are skeptical and demand an independent investigation into the matter.
The incident has also drawn attention to the increasing militarization of Jammu and Kashmir, with the region being under strict security measures. The use of force by law enforcement agencies has become a regular feature, with many cases of human rights violations reported in the region.
Iltija Mufti’s reaction to the incident has been widely shared on social media, with many people expressing outrage and shock at the policeman’s actions. The incident has also sparked a debate about the use of force by law enforcement agencies and the need for accountability.
The police, however, have defended their actions, saying that the protester was being “unruly” and “refused to disperse” despite repeated warnings. The police have also claimed that the incident was being “blown out of proportion” and that the protester was not seriously injured.
However, the video footage of the incident tells a different story. The video shows the policeman kicking the protester, who is seen falling to the ground. The incident has sparked widespread outrage, with many calling for the policeman to be taken to task for his actions.
The incident has also raised questions about the training and accountability of law enforcement agencies in Jammu and Kashmir. The use of force by police and paramilitary forces has become a regular feature in the region, with many cases of human rights violations reported.
The government has been criticized for its handling of the situation, with many calling for an independent investigation into the mysterious deaths in Devsar. The government has maintained that the deaths were due to natural causes, but the protesters are skeptical and demand an investigation.
In conclusion, the incident of a policeman kicking a female protester in Jammu and Kashmir is shocking and unacceptable. The use of force by law enforcement agencies is a serious issue that requires immediate attention. The government must take concrete steps to ensure that the use of force is minimized and that law enforcement agencies are held accountable for their actions.
As Iltija Mufti said, “It’s this high-handed behaviour from those expected to uphold the law that creates a trust deficit…alienating people even further.” The incident highlights the need for greater transparency and accountability in the handling of protests and demonstrations in Jammu and Kashmir.
