Bani MLA Dr. Ameshwar said, “If a leader who has served three times as Chief Minister and two as Member of Parliament can be shot in public, one can imagine the security situation of the general public.”
Report:
The shooting of former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister and senior leader Farooq Abdullah by an individual has created an atmosphere of concern and outrage across the state. Various political parties and social organizations have expressed strong reactions to the incident, calling it a serious threat to democracy and law and order.
Bani MLA Dr. Ameshwar strongly condemned the incident, saying that it is not only an attack on a senior leader but also raises serious questions about the state’s security system. He said that if an experienced and senior leader like Dr. Farooq Abdullah, who has served as the Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir three times and has made significant contributions to the country’s politics as a Member of Parliament twice, can be shot in public, it is natural to be concerned about the safety of the general public.
Dr. Ameshwar said that this incident is extremely unfortunate and calls into question the functioning of the security system. He said that maintaining peace and law and order in the state is the primary responsibility of the government and security agencies. If even such senior and important public representatives are not safe, it is natural for common citizens to feel fear and insecurity.
He demanded that the administration and security agencies conduct an impartial, transparent, and thorough investigation into the entire matter and ensure the strictest possible action against the accused under the law. He said that such incidents should not be tolerated under any circumstances and the culprits should be given exemplary punishment so that no one dares to commit such violent acts in the future.
Dr. Ameshwar further stated that Jammu and Kashmir has been facing difficult circumstances for a long time, but maintaining peace and stability in the state requires all political parties and various sections of society to work together. He also appealed to the people to maintain peace and harmony and not pay attention to any rumors.
He also stated that the people of the state have always believed in democratic values and cannot support any form of violence or anarchy. Therefore, the government should further strengthen the security system and take concrete steps to ensure the safety of both public representatives and ordinary citizens.
Following this incident, debate regarding security arrangements has intensified in the political and social circles of the state. Many leaders and organizations have also strongly condemned the incident, stating that such incidents are reprehensible in a democratic system and that the administration should take strict measures to prevent them.
Experts believe that considering the seriousness of this incident, there is a need for a comprehensive review of the security system so that recurrence of such incidents can be prevented in future and an atmosphere of peace and trust can be maintained in the state.
