JAMMU, Apr 18: While condemning the brutal killing of Muhammad Amin Pandit, a Sarpanch of village Gulzarpora of district Awantipora in South Kashmir, All Jammu and Kashmir Panchayat Conference (AJKPC), a representative body of Panchayat members has called it a desperate attempt of the terrorists who are hell bent to derail the smooth election process in the State.
Anil Sharma, president AJKPC in a statement issued here today said , “We share the grief of the family of the martyr Sarpanch, the killings of innocent Panchayat members depicts the frustration of these anti-democratic forces who otherwise have failed to mark their presence in Jammu and Kashmir”. “We will never bow down before these coward people (terrorists) who cannot fight Panchayat people with ballot. AJKPC also alleged that these killings confirm the fact that the State Coalition Government is deliberately not taking any measure for the safety and security of Panchs and Sarpanchs so that a sense of insecurity prevails amongst the common voters and they do not come out to cast their vote in the ongoing Lok Sabha elections which would favour the NC Coalition Government politically.
“We once again urge the Government of India to seriously consider and take all necessarily measures so that Panchs and Sarpanchs fearlessly devote their time and energy for the developmental process. Besides security we also reiterate our demand for sufficient exgratia amount to the family members of the deceased Panchayat members and job to their next kin’’.
