Srinagar, Feb 22 : National Conference MP Leader Aga Syed Ruhullah Mehdi on Saturday Criticised Jammu and Kashmir police for Removing Anti- Alcohol Hoardings in Srinagar.
In a post on X, Ruhullah Mehdi wrote, “Even appealing to tourists to respect local sensitivities is now illegal in Kashmir. Will @JmuKmrPolice clarify which law was violated by the signboard? Or is the only law in place the one that silences Kashmiris?”
“The colonial LG administration in cahoots with the security forces, has turned Kashmir into a Orwellian nightmare—where people can’t protest, safeguard their identity, or even speak for their culture.” he added.
“Suppression breeds resentment. The more you push Kashmiris to the wall, the stronger their will to break it down. Kashmiris like any other society in this country have right to preserve and protect their culture and faith.” Ruhullah Mehdi said.
“@JmuKmrPolice is advised to not work like a colonial power but work and behave as local police guided by law and respectful to the community and its sensitivities.” the post reads.
