Forces need to be shown the red line: Karra
Tariq Hameed Karra, who resigned from the Lok Sabha and the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) last month, today warned New Delhi of “dire consequences for waging a war” against unarmed protesting civilians.
He said the security forces, whom he described as “trigger-happy”, needed to be shown “the red line”.
“This unabated barbarism by security forces is not only aggravating the situation on the ground but also complicating it for both Central and state governments to restore peace and normalcy in the Valley,” Karra said in a statement.
“The trigger-happy forces need to be shown the red line, lest their genocidal mode will annihilate one complete generation. If anybody thinks that by way of killing, blinding, physically incapacitating, jailing or maiming Kashmiris will be brought on its knees, then it is nothing more than daydreaming and looking for utopias,” the former parliamentarian said. “It is further angering the people and increasing alienation,” he said.
