Hurriyat (G) takes strong note of VDC ‘hooliganism’ in Kishtwar

In a statement spokesman of Hurriyat (G) alleged, “Since the inception of BJP-PDP coalition government, the miseries of the Jammu Muslims have shown tremendous increase and the saffron communal forces are targeting and harassing them in every possible way. The locals of the Kiswan Kishtwar called the Hurriyat office and informed them about the said incident. According to them, the Kiswan village is at the distance of 26 km from the Kishtwar town where both Hindu and Muslims live. The VDC members of this area have become more pro-active and fanatical and they have turned the lives of people hell.”

“According to the locals the two commanders of the VDC Ashwani Kumar and Pappu Kumar led a Hindu mob of the area and forcibly occupied the land of the local Muslim resident of Mohammad Iqbal Mir and then announced to construct a Temple at the place. The local Muslims led by the respectable scholar Moulvi Nisar raised their voice against this hooliganism; the said VDC commanders attacked Molvi Nisar and beat him up, abused and insulted him. On the occasion Ashwani Kumar threatened the locals that the Temple will be constructed in any cost on this land and whosoever will oppose this move, will lose his life. He openly challenged the local Muslims that either remain silent or migrate to Pakistan. Locals of Kiswan village informed Hurriyat office that the administration is still to do anything in this regard and the Muslims of that area have been left on the mercy of the VDCs,” the spokesman alleged.

“This situation has extremely threatened the Muslims of that area and they are thinking to migrate from that area,” he added.
