Teli’s family rejecTs mumbai police version

Stage protest, demands justice

MudaSir Yaqoob

Srinagar, July 17: Rejecting Mumbai police version that Parvaiz Ahmad Teli of Nawab Bazar died in a train accident in Mumbai, scores of people from his locality including family members and relatives staged a protest here at Press Enclave. Teli, who ran handicrafts busi-ness in Bangalore was found dead in

Mumbai mysteriously. He had come to Mumbai and was living with his cousins at Mira Road. The protestors shouted anti-Mumbai police slogans. “Parvaiz was murdered… his body had visible marks of torture and cigarette burns. He had received injuries on his legs and arms had marks of rope tying,” the protestors said. “See the torture marks on his (Teli’s) body. The body is itself speak-ing that it was not a train accident but a cold blooded murder. Had it been the train accident how he could have received injuries, cigarette burns and

rope tying signs on other parts of the body,” questioned Teli’s brother Fir-dous. He alleged that his relatives at Mumbai where Teli was staying are being threatened by Mumbai police not to make any statement seeking justice. While rejecting the police version about the death of Teli, protestors said every Kashmiri is a suspect in other states. “Our struggle for justice would continue till the accused are booked and punished,” they said. Pertinently, Teli’s mysterious death sparked protests in Srinagar

City after his family claimed that he was tortured to death in Mumbai. Mumbai and Railway police in their statements had claimed that Teli died of injuries in a train accident between the Dadar and Elphinstone Road stations on July 9. They said that Teli was hit by a train while trying to cross the tracks. Ironically, J&K Police has said that it will depute an Additional Superintendent of Police along with other officials to establish circum-stances leading to Teli’s death in Mumbai.

Kashmiris facing persecution: Mirwaiz

Never advocated revocation or continuation

of AFSPA: SozKHaLid GuL

Islamabad, July 17: J&K Pradesh Congress Commit-tee Chief (JKPCC) Saif-u-din Soz, Wednesday clarified that he has ‘never advocated either revocation or contin-uation of the contro-versial Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA).’ “It appeared in certain section of media that I have said that AFSPA should be revoked but I never said so,” Soz said while talking to journalists on the side-lines of a work-ers convention at Khanabal here Soz said that he has been consistently emphasizing upon the temporary nature of the AFSPA, “The law is temporary and it has to go sooner or later. It cannot stay for ever,” He said that deliberation needs to be conducted on whether the Law be revoked

or not. “The only agency in Kashmir that can deliberate upon revocation of AFSPA is the Unified Command, headed by the Chief Minister, Omar Abdullah,” Soz said. He said that the Unified Command should sit togeth-

er and decide on the issue. “All three Corps Commanders, the police and CRPF chief are members of the Unified Com-mand. All of them need to think and arrive at the conclu-sion ,” Soz said.

Soz, however asserted that there will be zero toler-ance in cases of human rights violations, while revoca-tion of AFSPA is being dis-cussed. “Any human rights viola-tion will not be tolerated and the perpetrators will be held accountable and booked.” Soz said. Party district President Gulzar Ahmad and District secretary Hilal Ahmad Shah also addressed the workers.

Srinagar July 17: Chairman of Hurriyat (M) Mirwaiz Umar Farooq has termed the ‘ m y s t e r i o u s murders’ of innocent Kash-miris as a part of continuous policy of political vendetta. Rubbishing the claims of Mumbai police regard-ing the mysterious death of Nawab bazaar youth, Parvaiz Ahmad Teli, Mirwaiz said, “this statement was an effort to hide the actual reality from people and make things look fuzzy.” “Such statements per-taining to the mysterious

murders in India have been issued earlier as well to hide the reality and shield the accused who have committed brutal acts,” Mirwaiz said. Mirwaiz visited the house of Parvez and expressed soli-darity and sympathy with the bereaved family members. “ Kashmiris are being victim-ized in Kashmir and outside for pursuing the freedom struggle,” he added.

asiya andrabicondemns lifer

to Kashmiri duo Srinagar, July 17: Chair-person of Dukhtarani Milat Asiya Andrabi has expressed deep anguish over the life imprisonment awarded to two Kashmiri youth – Sheikh Imran and Sheikh Farhat by a Kolkata Court. In a statement Asiya said separatists have failed to for-mulate a system to provide legal aid to Kashmiris detain-ees languishing in various jails in and outside the state. “These detainees are real assets of Kashmir and it is duty of every Kashmir to pro-tect them. When these youth languish in jails nobody offers them even consolation not to talk of legal aid. And when they are sentenced for life or sent to gallows everybody raises hue and cry,” Asiya said.
