NIA raids, ‘Fake Reporting’ aimed to crush Kashmir Economy: KEA

Chairman, Kashmir Economic Alliance, Muhammad Yasin Khan today alleged that the NIA raids on business houses in Kashmir and “fake reporting” by some New Delhi based channels point to “a conspiracy aimed to crush Kashmir economy.”
Khan in a statement said, “After wounding the people of Kashmir through human rights abuses, the government wants the economic activities to bleed and it was because of this that some businessmen have either been raided or their names have been falsely reported by a section of media”.

“Kashmir Inc is being systematically dragged towards destruction through such conspiracies,” Khan said.
He alleged that instead of promoting business and tourism activities, “the government wants to frighten the business community through pressure tactics of NIA raids.”
Khan expressed serious concern over statements of some mainstream politicians including ministers “who have been exclusively defending one particular businessman in the wake of NIA raids.”

“One of the ministers defends one particular businessman and says that the state government is on same page with central government over raids. If this is so why they shed crocodile tears?” Khan asked.
Khan appealed Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti to make her stand clear on the issue. “She must personally look into the matter because otherwise things are heading towards chaos and destruction.”
Khan also appealed the Chief Minister’s Grievance Cell headed by Tassaduq Mufti to look into the matter.
