SRINAGAR, Oct 21: National Conference today took out a massive protest rally against the PDP BJP Government’s continuous failures in catching the culprits behind braid chopping incidents.
The protest rally, led by party general secretary Ali Mohammad Sagar marched out from party headquarters Nawa-e-Subah today. The rally was intercepted by police near SK Park and was not allowed to move towards city center Lal Chowk.
Addressing the workers, the general secretary said, “the Government is in complete knowhow of who the real culprits are but still they continue to maintain silence on this conspiracy. It’s they who have to ensure protection of our mothers, sisters and daughters but they have failed miserably to ensure their protection. They are only interested in clinging to their chairs which has been their primary goal ever since they came into power.”
Reminding CM Mehbooba Mufti of the explosive situation Kashmir is in, Sagar said that it was not only their party which was on roads all over the Valley but others too had joined the movement of reminding the Government of its primary responsibility which is to protect the lives and dignity of its people. “Every right thinking individual, whether it’s the civil society, mainstream opposition leaders or the religious leaders all have spoken against Governments inability to tackle such the continuous spree of braid chopping incidents. Still nothing concrete has been achieved by the Government so far even after 100 incidents of braid chopping. We have been on the forefront of reminding this Government but they seem to be on a mute mode,” he added
Senior NC functionaries, including vice president Chowdhary Mohammad Ramzan, Provincial President Nasir Aslam Wani, treasurer Shammi Oberoi, North Zone president Adv Mohammad Akbar Lone, MLA Iddgah Mubarak Gul, MLC Ali Mohammad Dar, MLA Homshalibugh Ab Majeed Bhat (Larmi), MLC Showkat Ganaie, provincial secretary Showkat Ah Mir, district president Srinagar Peer Afaq Ahmad, and others joined the protest march.
Carrying play-cards, NC workers demanded that the Government should intervene into incidences of braid chopping and immediately bring culprits to book.
