JAMMU, Nov 21: In a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) filed by Advocate Deewakar Sharma seeking withdrawal of security cover provided to the separatists, Hurriyat leaders and other persons who are indulging in anti-national activities, Division Bench of High Court comprising Chief Justice Gita Mittal and Justice Rajesh Bindal has directed the Government to furnish latest status report before next date of hearing.
In the PIL, it has been submitted that huge expenditure is being made for providing security cover, boarding/ lodging and medical facilities to separatists and pro-militant elements in Kashmir valley and the amount so spent is collected through taxes being paid by the common masses.
“Whatever may be the policy of the Government with regard to dealing with the militants and separatists, it cannot be a policy of using the money of the common man”, the PIL said.
