Asking Government of India, media and mainstream politicians to stop seeking political dividends from every tragic incident, MLA Langate Er Rashid on Thursday said that all “these warriors” of Kashmiris should answer that had militants attacked Taj Mahal, “would they have destroyed it same way, as they did to EDI Institute”.Two suspected militants were killed in a three day long battle inside the premises of J&K EDI at Sempora Pampore of which one building was completely destroyed.“If Indian parliament could be saved from getting damaged in the militant attack, security agencies could have shown restrain and dealt with two alleged militants in a manner that could have caused minimum damage to the building,” Rashid said in a statement this afternoon, “a common Kashmiri gets hurt when he has to listen sermons about significance of EDI and education as if he has chosen to live in a stone age.”
Rashid said, “if militants would have entered Taj Mahal or any other prestigious institution, the security forces would have not only shown utmost restraint but would have made it sure that the building and other infrastructures receives minimum damage. But in a desperate attempt to strengthen India’s view point, security forces very often destroy the buildings and assets with an objective that it would create bad will about militants”.The Langate lawmaker further asked police administration to tell people in Nowgam Langate that “why their religious sentiments were hurt, as they were asked to prepare four graves for deceased militants but later the militants were buried in a forest”.“Once someone dies or loses his life, whosoever he may be, the whole animosity ends, but not allowing funeral of these slain militants and leaving graves without burying bodies in them is an act that deserves condemnation,” Rashid observed.
