Shocking: Iltija Mufti on policeman kicking woman protester in J&K
In a recent incident that has sparked outrage and concern, a video has surfaced showing a policeman kicking a female protester in Jammu and Kashmir. The incident has been widely condemned, and PDP’s Iltija Mufti has expressed her shock and disappointment at the behavior of the policeman.
The incident took place in Devsar, Kulgam district, where a protest was being held against the mysterious deaths of several people in the region. The protesters were peacefully demonstrating when the policeman, who was part of the security forces deployed to maintain law and order, allegedly kicked the female protester. The video of the incident has gone viral, sparking widespread condemnation and outrage.
Reacting to the video, Iltija Mufti, the daughter of former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti and a prominent politician in her own right, expressed her shock and disappointment at the behavior of the policeman. “Shocking and unbecoming for a policeman to kick a woman only because she was peacefully protesting against the mysterious deaths in Devsar,” she said. “It’s this high-handed behaviour from those expected to uphold the law that creates a trust deficit…alienating people even further,” she added.
Mufti’s comments highlight the deep-seated concerns that many people in Jammu and Kashmir have about the behavior of the security forces and the Indian government. The region has been plagued by violence and unrest for years, and many people feel that the government’s policies are contributing to the problem rather than solving it.
The incident is also a stark reminder of the lack of accountability and the need for greater transparency and accountability in the actions of the security forces. The government has a responsibility to protect its citizens, but it also has a responsibility to ensure that its agents do not abuse their power and discriminate against certain groups.
The incident has also sparked concerns about the safety and well-being of women in Jammu and Kashmir. Women have been at the forefront of many protests and demonstrations in the region, and they have been subjected to violence, harassment, and intimidation by security forces. The incident highlights the need for greater protection and support for women in the region, and for greater accountability for those who perpetrate violence against them.
The incident is also a reminder of the importance of peaceful protest and the need for governments to respect the rights of citizens to express their opinions and demonstrate peacefully. The protesters in Devsar were peacefully demonstrating against the mysterious deaths in the region, and it is the government’s responsibility to respect their right to do so.
In conclusion, the incident of a policeman kicking a female protester in Jammu and Kashmir is shocking and unacceptable. It highlights the need for greater accountability and transparency in the actions of the security forces, and for greater protection and support for women in the region. It also underscores the importance of peaceful protest and the need for governments to respect the rights of citizens to express their opinions and demonstrate peacefully.
