Jammu, 18/Apr/2014: While condemning the brutal killing of Muhammad Amin Pandit , a sarpanch of village Gulazarpora of district  Awantipora in south Kashmir,   All Jammu and Kashmir Panchayat Conference( AJKPC), leading representative body of Panchayat members have called it a desperate attempt of the terrorists who are hell bent to derail the smooth electioneering process in the country. Anil Sharma, president of AJKPC said  ,  “ We share the grief of the family of the martyr Sarpanch, the killings of innocent panchayat members depicts the frustration of these anti-democratic forces who otherwise have failed to mark their presence in Jammu and Kashmir”.  We will never bow down before these coward people (terrorists) who cannot fight  Panchayat people with ballot. AJKPC also alleged that these killings  confirm the fact that the incumbent state coalition government is deliberately not taking any measure for the safety and security of Panches and Sarpanches so that a sense of insecurity prevails amongst the common voters and they do not come out to cast their vote in the ongoing Lok Sabha elections  which would favour the NC Colaition government politically.

The AJKPC president said the National conference led coalition government under the Chief Minister ship of  Omar Abdullah have failed to tell the people of Jammu and Kashmir that who are people responsible for killing of 7 innocent panchayat members(including latest). People of Jammu and Kashmir have always stood for the democracy and even after the deliberate failure of state government they would come out in large number to cast their votes daring all threats.  We once again urge the government of India to seriously consider and take all necessarily measures so that Panchs and Sarpanchs fearlessly devote their time and energy for the developmental process. Besides security we also reiterate our demand for sufficient exgratia amount to the family members of the deceased panchayat members and job to their next kin.
