In silent protest, student activists denounce spurt in molestation cases in Kashmir

SABA NAZKI

Srinagar, June 16: The cam-paign for justice for the victim of sexual assault by Director Health Services Kashmir Dr Saleem-ur-Rehman and three other officials grew stronger on Monday as dozens of stu-dent activists held protest march here, seeking fair probe and removal of the accused from his post. The activists assembled at Pratap Park here, carry-ing placards displaying hard-sitting messages against the Director and other officials who are under fire for the reported assault on the nurse. Under the banner “Kash-miris Against Sexual Assault”, the activists shouted slogans, seeking immediate suspension of the Director. “Our main demand is that the Director should be immediately suspended,” said Shehla Rashid Shora, a stu-dent activist from Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi. The activists demanded implementation of a general rule

regarding cases of molestation. “In such situations, the accused should not be allowed to take over high positions like that of a Director who is manipulating everything,” Shehla said. The activists charged the Director of manipulating his position by influencing the departmental inquiry and threatening the victim. The victim has herself come out in the open two times along with few activists, seeking justice. Besides Dr Saleem-ur-Rehman, Dr Nazir Shadad ( C M O A n a n t n a g ) , D r Arshid Tak (BMO Sallar) and Dr Ashraf (Incharge Medical Superintendent Seer Anantnag) were charged by the nurse for molesting her. The activists also ques-tioned the silence of Omar Abdullah-led coalition gov-ernment over the growing cases of sexual harassment against women in Kashmir and blamed weak policies for tackling the horrid phenom-

Srinagar, June 16: Police has arrested a 60-year-old tutor from Panthachowk area here for raping a 12-year-old student. Police said they have registered a case vide FIR No. 37/2014 on June 12 and have arrested the tutor, Ali Muham-mad Mir. “The girl had gone to the house of teacher for tuition where he raped her,” police said, adding the medical examina-tion of the victim has confirmed the rape.

enon which has of late galva-nized anger across the state. They termed departmental inquiries ordered in such cases as passive and said the officials probing the cases were biased in their judgments. “That’s why we demand an independent probe into this matter,” said an activist, Tou-seef Ahmad. The activists also slammed “ignorance of legal organizations and police” in dealing with such cases. “Government must break

its silence and order an independent investigation,” Shehla said. Qurat-ul-Ain, another student-activist said, “Justice must be served to the victim. Else, this is a doomed society.” The student-activists also pointed to the handling of a case by government which involved Health Minister Shabir Khan who had report-edly assaulted a lady doctor of the rank of Block Medical Officer. They said both the cases

– of Minister and Director – should be investigated for the larger interests of the health department. “Female employees of the department are disgruntled. There is fear among them,” Shehla said. “If govern-ment doesn’t deliver justice, an indefinite protest will be launched.” As eve-teasing cases are on rise in Kashmir, protest marches like these have become the only representa-tion of victims.
