Panun Kashmir on Naroda Patia case verdict Jammu India, September 8, 2012 |
![]() Dr. Agnishekhar, Convenor of Panun Kashmir while talking to media persons today said that the same yardstick of dispensation of justice needs to be applied in the massacres of innocent Kashmiri Pandits, men, women and infant children in Kashmir valley at the hands of fundamentalist Jihadi people right from 1989-90 till date. Dr. Agnishekhar said that Kashmiri Pandits are the victims of the worst pogrom hatched by Jihadies, radical fundamentalist and also partisan state leadership in tandem, in which case, not only has the entire community been hounded out but systematic well planned killings also executed, without even any one handed out any stringent punishment. He reminded that Naroda Patia case was ordered to be re-probed by a Supreme Court appointed special investigating team (SIT) following petitions by Human Rights Organizations in Gujarat to the Hon’ble apex court. Ten years after the condemnable Naroda Patia incident, the identified victims finally got justice. Dr. Agnishekhar questioned the Central and successive state governments as to why the much longed for judicial alacrity in heart rending cold blooded murders of innocent Kashmiri Pandits in Kashmir, has not taken place so far in respect, at least of the following massacres at :-
So far nothing of the sort has been done in the matter to bring any of the perpetrators of the grotesque killings of hapless Pandits to book, the status of the police probes and investigations, if any, not made known, lamented Dr. Agnishekhar. The silence mode as attributed by varied opinionates in respect of the present PM regarding non resolution of the burning issues of reversal of the causes of exodus and genocide of KPs has been true of all PMs in matters of Kashmiri Pandits. Dr. Agnishekhar pooh poohed the claims of fair play in matters of equality before law as the killers of Kashmiri Pandits are roaming free as “respectable” citizens. He cited the case of Farooq Dar alias Bita Karate who is on record having given a 10.15 minutes statement on TV Channels that starting from one Satish Kumar Tickoo (whom he knew very closely) he has gunned down 20 Kashmiri Pandits with his pistol. He bemoans having not kept a further count meaning thereby his brazen indulgence in a spree of killings. When asked about the type of weapon he usually used, he told about the pistol, handling of which required good muscle power. A suo -mottocognizance of this spine chilling crime has not been taken by the concerned authorities so far. Dr. Agnishekhar questioned the powers that be, as to whether killing of minority community Kashmiri Pandit is not at par with the killing of a minority Muslim of Gujarat? Are constitutional, democratic institutional and structural guarantees not granted to Pandits and their killings constitute no offence? About select killings numbering 1273 Kashmiri Pandits coupled with abduction, tormenting, sawing alive and killing of number of KP women is a blot on humanity and indicative of the modes of administrative functional paralysis. |
