Shocking: Iltija Mufti on policeman kicking woman protester in J&K
A recent video circulating on social media has left many in shock and outrage. The footage shows a policeman kicking a female protester in Jammu and Kashmir’s Kulgam district. The incident has sparked widespread condemnation, with many questioning the actions of the officer involved.
Reacting to the video, Iltija Mufti, a senior leader of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), expressed her shock and disappointment at the incident. “It’s shocking and unbecoming for a policeman to kick a woman only because she was peacefully protesting against the mysterious deaths in Devsar,” she said.
The incident took place during a protest in Kulgam’s Devsar area, where locals were demanding justice for the families of those who have died under mysterious circumstances. The police had been deployed in the area to maintain law and order, but the officer involved in the video took it upon himself to use excessive force against the protesters.
Iltija Mufti’s comments highlight the concerns that many people have about the behavior of the police in Jammu and Kashmir. “It’s this high-handed behaviour from those expected to uphold the law that creates a trust deficit…alienating people even further,” she said.
The incident has sparked widespread outrage on social media, with many calling for the officer involved to be held accountable. The police have also come under fire for their handling of the situation, with many questioning why the officer was not immediately arrested and charged.
The incident is just the latest in a long list of controversial actions taken by the police in Jammu and Kashmir. In recent months, there have been numerous reports of police brutality and human rights abuses in the region. The police have been accused of using excessive force against protesters, detaining people without charge, and harassing journalists and activists.
The situation in Jammu and Kashmir is already highly volatile, with tensions between the government and separatist groups running high. The recent incident is likely to further inflame tensions and create more distrust between the people and the authorities.
The government has faced criticism for its handling of the situation, with many accusing it of doing too little to address the concerns of the people. The police have been accused of being over-zealous in their efforts to maintain law and order, and of using excessive force to quell protests.
The incident has also raised concerns about the safety and well-being of women in Jammu and Kashmir. The video shows the policeman kicking the woman protester repeatedly, and it is clear that she was subjected to unnecessary and excessive force.
Iltija Mufti’s comments highlight the need for the authorities to take action to address the concerns of the people. “It’s time for the government to take serious steps to address the concerns of the people,” she said. “The police must be held accountable for their actions, and those responsible for this incident must be brought to justice.”
In conclusion, the incident of a policeman kicking a female protester in Jammu and Kashmir’s Kulgam district is shocking and unacceptable. It highlights the need for the authorities to take action to address the concerns of the people and to ensure that the police are held accountable for their actions.
