CPI (M) leader Mohammad Yousuf Tarigami on Wednesday said the reckless killing of an unarmed civilian at the hands of security personnel must be investigated in a time bound, impartial manner and responsibility be fixed so that guilty is punished under law.
Tarigami said, “the justification given by the police for unfortunate killing of an innocent civilian is bizarre. Even if the claims of the police are true that the slain civilian jumped a checkpoint, CRPF men could have fired at the tyres of the vehicle he was driving instead of shooting him in the chest.”
He said that how long the civilian killings will continue in Kashmir? Unarmed civilians getting killed is extremely unfortunate and condemnable. Stop it now. “Mere condemnation every time on such incidents isn’t enough,” he added.
