Senior National Conference (NC) leader and Minister for Finance and Parliamentary Affairs, Mr. Abdul Rahim Rather has lambasted People’s Democratic Party for trying to extract political mileage out of the mysterious death of two women in Shopian district.
In a statement, Mr. Rather said that the PDP has mastered in politics of opportunism and distraught by the drubbing it received both in Assembly and Parliamentary elections recently, it was now exploiting the sentiments of people and trying to capitalise on human sufferings by pushing them to violence and unrest in the already-surcharged situation in Shopian. He said the PDP would go to any extent to remain relevant in the political arena of the State and urged the people not to play into its hands.
Reacting to the unfortunate incident at Shopian, the Minister said that the government was committed to bring the truth to the fore and investigation was on to locate the cause and circumstances of the death of the two women. He said if it was proved to be a murder, the culprits would be handed down exemplary punishment. He said there was no ambiguity in the commitment of the National Conference-led State government to the human rights and violations of human rights would not be countenanced.
Mr. Rather said that the Chief Minister Mr. Omar Abdullah has made it amply clear that he was the last person to tolerate human rights violations. He said that his government has shown in the cases of Bomai and Khaigam that it fully matches it words with action so far as human rights violations were concerned.
Expressing deep sympathy with the bereaved family, Mr. Rather said National Conference and its entire rank and file share its grief and sorrow and stand solidly behind the unfortunate family.
