Srinagar, Feb 20 (KNB): Commenting over the recent protest by pellet hit victims seeking attention from the society for addressing their sufferings, MLA Langate Sheikh Abdul Rasheed has appealed masses to introspect and understand the message and the lesson from the protest.
In a statement issued to KNB, Rasheed said that the protest by those blinded for a cause and victimized by state’s brutality is a slap on all of us as we have collectively failed all those who have sacrificed since 1989 and the situation has reached to a point, forcing worst victims of violence take to streets to remind us of our duties.
“Let every Kashmiri whosoever and whatsoever his status and stature may be understand that just emotions, tributes and traditional condolences and condemnations do fetch nothing unless we don’t discharge our duties with sincerity, commitment and dedication,” the statement reads.
Rasheed further said that the protest by pellet victims has exposed our individual and collective failures and not only leaders but masses must also join heads and hands to rise to the occasion for the rehabilitation of victims. He also lashed out at CM Mehbooba Mufti for misleading the world community and Kashmiris by engaging few Pellet victims but ignoring that their number is more than fifteen hundred. (KNB)
