SRINAGAR, APRIL 27 (STC): Mirwaiz Hassan Firdousi, who is also chairman “Muslim Mutahida Mahaaz JK” in a statement has urged the Government of India to tread with caution and carefully distinguish between terrorists and civilians following the recent Pahalgam attack.
“It must not alienate innocent people, especially those opposing terror. There are reports of thousands being arrested and scores of houses of common Kashmiris being demolished along with those of militants,” he said and appeals the government to direct the authorities to take care that innocent people are not made to feel the brunt as alienation aids terrorists goals of division and fear.
While Kashmiris collectively condemn the heinous crime at Pahalgam, it is imperative to bring its perpetrators to justice, he said and adds that “indiscriminate arrests and videos circulating on social media of demolition of houses and neighbourhoods, is disturbing and distressing. I urge the authorities, that in seeking justice for the innocent victims not to punish innocent Kashmiri families.” (STC)
