Srinagar 02 June (KDC): BJP leader and DDC member from Khonmoh, Srinagar Er Aijaz Hussian Thursday termed the targeted killings in Kashmir as the acts of frustration and cowardice and said that no religion allows the killing of unarmed civilians especially those serving the Kashmiri society in various means.
In a statement, Er Aijaz said that the killings of minority members including the Bank Manager of Ellaquai Dihati Bank, Vijay Kumar, a resident of Rajasthan was nothing but dastardly acts and an attack on age old composite culture of Kashmir.
“All these attacks are the brainchild of Pakistan and its agencies who are feeling frustrated by the peaceful atmosphere prevailing in Kashmir and the present tourist boom. Er Aijaz urged Kashmiri Pandits and nationalists not to fall prey to nefarious designs of Pakistan and stay put along with the majority community to defeat the challenge,” said Er Aijaz.
Government was working hard to protect minorities and a series of steps have been taken but minorities and nationalists should have faith in the system so that anti-peace elements could be defeated, Er Aijaz said, adding that targeted killings are aimed to create wedge and to instil fear among minorities to push them out of Kashmir but security agencies and the government will not allow such elements to succeed at any cost.
Er Aijaz appealed KPs and other minorities to stay with the majority community shoulder to shoulder so that peace remains intact and elements working at the behest of Pakistan are taught a befitting lesson. (KDC)
