JAMMU, Apr 11: Alleging that the non-local students of NIT Srinagar are being implicated in false cases under a well-planned conspiracy to mar their life career, Jammu Province People’s Forum (JPPF) has demanded constitution of commission of inquiry directly under the State High Court.
The Jammu Province People’S Forum (JPPF) has condemned the recent statement of Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti, wherein she has outrightly dismissed the NIT incident as non-issue.
Addressing the media persons here today, JPPF president, Thakur Pavitar Singh, blamed the State Government for suppressing the National forces as a routine matter otherwise there was no cause of repetition of JNU incident in NIT campus Srinagar.
It is an open chapter that the encouragement to the antinational forces gives rise to such incidents aimed at engineering unrest, besides law and order problem, which ultimately causes considerable damage to the secular character, brotherhood and amity in the democratic setup of the State.
“The role of faculty members, police entry in the NIT campus, snatching tri-colors from the non-local students, beating them brutally causing fractures and head injuries, confinement of non-local students to the campus despite repeated request of evacuation, banning the entry of media in the campus, charging the non-local students with false, frivolous and fabricated stone-pelting charge, and slapping of FIRs against them by the State police just to cover up their brutalities on innocent students are enough reasons to believe that non-local students studying in the NIT Srinagar were not safe”, he said.
Stating that the demands put forth by the non-local students including girls before the fact finding mission deputed by Government of India, Ministry of Human Resources are based on facts and genuinely correct, JPPF urged the Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti to read the writings on the walls and resolve the issue within a period of 10 days failing which an agitation would be launched to seek justice for the innocent students of the NIT.
