Threat Posters against Panchayt Members
Omar Government Deliberately not providing
Security: AJKPC
Jammu, 20/Dec/2013: After recent threat
posters against the Jammu and Kashmir Panchayat members asking them to resign from their posts of
Panches and Sarpanches, All Jammu and
Kashmir Panchayat, AJKPC an organization of elected Panchs and Sarpanches have
taken a strong note of these posters and once again have made it clear that
33,000 panches and sarpanches of the state are not going to succumb to these
threats.
Senior AJKPC leader Imtiyaz Afzal Beigh, who
is also General Secretary of the
organization said “We are not scared of these life threats, we are in the
democratic process just to serve the masses and have nothing to do with larger
political Kashmir issue, those who are issuing these diktats to innocent
Panches and Sarpanches are selectively choosing helpless targets just to mark their
presence “
Imtiyaz also condemned the casual approach of
the J & K government and especially of the state police department for
doing nothing for the security of elected panchayat members of the state, when
the state police is providing security
even to the junior leaders of the ruling party like ward presidents and Mohalla
leaders then why elected panchayat members selectively not provided any
security.
He also informed that last year, AJKPC
president Anil Sharma (then Gen Secy) on 5/nov/2012 has submitted a request
letter to the DGP of the State police for providing security to panchayat
members but even till date the letter is gathering dust in the Police
headquarter and we have not received any response from PHQ. This is shameful on
the part of the state police, the DGP knows that 6 panchayat members have
already been killed but despite that fact his force did nothing for us. We are
not only deceived by the State government but even the union government has not
come to our rescue and have left us at the mercy of the militants.
