Ensure Justice to the eight year old girl by seeing that the accused is hanged publicly: Saroori





Organizing rally and using national flag by a Hindu Ekta Manch is unfortunate

50 dozens of deputations met Saroori, many political activists joined Congress

KISHTWAR, FEBRUARY 19: - Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC), Ghulam Mohammad Saroori today said J&K Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti should use her powers to ensure that the accused SPO Deepak Khajuria in the case gets the death sentence for the heinous crime.

While meeting with 50 dozens of deputations at Kishtwar, Saroori termed the rally organised by a Hindu Ekta Manch, whose activists carrying Tricolor had held a protest rally to press for release of the SPO Deepak Khajuria, who has been arrested for his alleged complicity in the rape and murder of the minor Gujjar girl from Kuthua, “If such protests are attempt to save the accused culprits, then it is most unfortunate, shameful act and against human values. Using national flag during the rally is an insult to tri-colour and things can’t get more horrible than this," he said.

Body of the minor girl was recovered from Rassana forest on January 17, a week after she went missing while grazing horses in the forest area.

Saroori said that the some fringe elements in Jammu are "hell bent" on giving religious colour to this heinous crime. He also said that the CM J&K should monitor this case personally to ensure justice to the eight year old girl by seeing that the accused is hanged publicly for the crime. “The accused is not entitled to any leniency by taking refuge of Hindu Ekta Manch,” he said, adding that this case should be taken as an exception to send a strong message to law breakers and will set examples for the other criminals.

He also expressed hope that the all politicians, civil society and general public without any politics, caste, colour and creed must unite against the culprits to seek justice for the eight-year old girl.

The deputations apprised Mr. Saroori about their day to day problems pertaining to their areas. The problems which were highlighted included early blacktopping on various link roads, upgradation of schools, early clearance of payment to job card holders under MGNREGA and IHHL scheme, correction in the CAPD ration cards and issuing the category (BPL, APL) of ration cards correctly, early filling of vacant post of Doctors and Para medical staff in the PHC and sub-centres, improvement in power supply and better drinking water facility.

Mr. Saroori heard the deputation patiently and releases various funds under his CDF for various developmental works. He also gave full assurance to take up the issue vigorously with the State government and assured that he will leave no stone unturned for early redressal of the genuine demands.

On the occasion many political activisits from Udeel, Batwari, Sheeri Mugalmaidan joined Congress. Reiterating resolve of his party to restore peace and tranquility in Jammu and Kashmir, Saroori said Congress has earned faith and credibility through its convictions and commitments.

“Getting power in not the only agenda of Congress, our party is movement to change destiny of the people and to establish a system of justice and equality in Jammu and Kashmir”, Saroori said and added that Congress had changed political discourse of the State and restored dignity and honour of the people Jammu and Kashmir. “Our party, through its pro-peace policies, has consolidated reconciliation process and facilitated the efforts of establishing lasting peace in this region”, he said but regretted that the present regime has derailed the whole process of peace and development. “Prevailing chaos and instability is outcome of the wrong policies of the present regime”, he said but asserted that Congress would continue to work for peace and stability in this region. He said the newly joined workers have joined Congress due to the policies and programmes of the party. They said that that visionary agenda of Congress was the only practical and viable solution of all problems of the State.
