Srinagar, May 13: Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Wednesday termed the killing of a civilian by forces on Srinagar-Gulmarg highway as a cold-blooded murder and demanded stern action against those involved in such a heinous crime.
PDP spokesman in a statement issued here has demanded time-bound inquiry into the incident, terming it a condemnable act that deserves exemplary punishment. He added that Delhi Police model of destruction and violence in Budgam is detestable and replication of Delhi police model. He added that incidents such as these are a refection of the fact that Kashmir is becoming a battle field wherein the value of precious innocent lives is lost and forgotten.
Asking the Government of India to shun its confrontational attitude towards the people, PDP spokesman said that the situation with each passing day is becoming bad from worse as the government keeps looking at Kashmir militarily. “The bestiality calling shots in Kashmir needs to be thwarted by the unanimous efforts of the political leadership and a consensus is needed so that the further loss of human lives is stopped without any further delay,” the party said in a statement.
