It’s a ‘cold blooded murder’, says PDP’s Bukhari after armed forces kill youth in Qammarwari search operation

Posted on

Former Finance Minister Altaf Bukhari termed the killing of a civilain in Qammarwari as ‘cold blooded murder’.

In a statement, the senior PDP leader said the killing of Mohammad Saleem Malik during a cordon-and-search-operation launched by the armed forces in Qamarwari area is a heinous crime which is unacceptable to any civilized society.

He demanded an impartial probe at the highest level so that the culprits of this brutal killing are booked and brought to justice.

“Unfortunately some vested interests in security forces have become trigger happy and feel emboldened after every such incident in Kashmir. Like in any other part of the State, such forces with nefarious designs, want to shatter the semblance of peace and tranquility in Srinagar city,” he said.

He said that the human life in Kashmir has been devalued by the callousness of “black sheep in security forces” who seem to have got a “license to kill the innocent civilians and draw a sadistic pleasure out of it.”

“The latest cold-blooded murder in Qamarwari is in clear contravention to the assertion made by the Governor S.P Malik who wanted to build trust in Kashmir and had asked security forces to adhere to Standard Operating Procedure in all their operations in J&K,” said Bukhari.
