Srinagar: Asking armed forces especially J&K Police to understand the “sentiments and pain” of the families of those killed in gunfights, MLA Langate Engineer Rashid on Wednesday condemned the ‘burial of local Kashmiri youth without ascertaining their whereabouts and simply calling them as foreign militants.’
Rasheed in a statement asked the police and army to apologize for claiming to have killed five foreign militants in Bandipora but now when the families of the deceased hailing from south Kashmir and Kangan have rebutted the claims, the administration should have handed over the bodies without making excuses.
“It seems a strategy to bury the slain local youth after gunfights calling them unknown or foreign militants and then asking the real heirs of the slain militants to go through DNA sampling to authenticate their claim,” the spokesman quoted Rashid saying.
