Says such incidents are against all norms of human and civil rights and law; calls for immediate investigation, accountability and punishment of perpetrators
Srinagar: Mirwaiz-e-Kashmir Dr. Moulvi Mohammad Umar Farooq, in a post on X, said:
“Deeply disturbed and pained by news reports from Bhaderwah of the killing of a 30 year old young civilian Arif Hussain, by SOG personnel followed by local protests against the killing and internet shutdown across the district.
My thoughts and prayers are with the bereaved family in this tragedy that struck them and with his young and pregnant widow who joined the protests against the gruesome killing of her husband.
Such incidents, including the recent killing of Rashid Ahmad Mughal in Ganderbal, are against all norms of human and civil rights and law. They deepen fear and mistrust.
Authorities should immediately investigate, fix accountability, make the findings public and punish the perpetrators.”
