GREEN CRUSADERS expresses
its grave concern at the deteriorating situation in Kashmir. Till now quite a number of people, mostly youth, are reported to have been killed
and hundreds injured.
Massive people’s unrest erupted after the encounter death of Burhan
Wani and his associates. The brutal force used against protesters by the
police and the armed forces that resulted in these unfortunate killings
is condemnable. The administration should desist from using such
excessive force against the protesters. Those responsible for killing
innocent unarmed protesters should be identified and punished.
The present growing unrest is also an expression of people’s
alienation, anger against the oppressive policies and killings of
unarmed civilians by security forces. While the activities of the
extremist groups need to be checked to maintain law and order and
civilian rule, it cannot be an excuse for such use of force against
stone-hurling protesters.
The governments concerned would do well to immediately initiate a political
process of dialogue with all the political forces and groups concerned to end this
growing strife in the state and to restore peace and normalcy.
