AIP President and MLA Langate Er Rasheed has expressed surprise over Mehbooba Mufti’s sermon in Katra seeking safety of non-local students in J&K and asked her to clear her stand what did she mean by saying so. Er Rasheed was addressing a gathering in Trehgam after visiting the families of injured persons who had sustained pelt injuries in recent circle of violence. Er Rasheed said. “Instead of representing the sufferings of Kashmiris Mehbooba choose to show concern about non-local students, despite knowing the fact that people of J&K have always received even thousands of beggars from outside with warmth and affection. It is Kashmiris students and businessmen who are being attacked in other states and Chief Minister should have appealed Prime Minister to ensure security of Kashmiris working and studying outside, but she preferred to say reverse just to remain in good books of Narender Modi.
Miss Mehebooba needs to answer that why should Kashmiri students be deprived from their right to make students unions in their own state.”Er Rasheed visited more than half a dozen families of Trehgam whose beloved ones have been injured critically by use of disproportionate force. He condemned the police brutalities who have not spared even children and women and have also broken doors, window and anything that came their way during the protests. Er Rasheed demanded stern action against involved police officers and asked govt. to make an end to the state terrorism in Kupwara or be prepared to face a mass uprising against the atrocities of security forces.
