Srinagar, September 11 (Scoop News) -The Director General of Police(DGP), Kuldip Khoda said that a group of miscreants tried to disturb peaceful atmosphere in Dargah Sharief not allowing people to pray and with a clandestine conspiracy to set on fire the Aquaf building where police post was located. He said that this post was exclusively meant for the welfare of the devotees coming to holy shrine and to protect Dargah and the holy relic, adding that their intention is best known to them and we will investigate and un-reveal their criminal intentions.
This was said by Khoda while addressing a Press Conference at Police Control Room here today. Principal Secretary, Home, B.R. Sharma was also present on the occasion.
Khoda said that administration deliberately took a conscious decision not to impose any kind of restriction on Eid day and allow people to pray and celebrate peacefully, even when Moulana Umar Farooq established contact with the administration and was allowed to lead an Eid procession upto Lal Chowk without any restriction. He (Moulana Umar ) promised that it will be completely a peaceful procession, but when he addressed a mammoth gathering of 2000 people at Lal Chowk and immediately after that Power Development Department headquarter was set on flames. “This you can now yourself assess, what they mean by peaceful procession”, he said.
“We have proved everywhere from morning to evening an exemplary kind of restrain inspite of the fact that public property was set on flames on the day which is day of peace. The vehicles were burned and police personnel were assaulted and attacked but it is a proof of our maximum resistance and restrain that all the brunt was taken without causing any injury to a single person”, Khoda maintained.
The DGP said that in future whenever any such demand of taking out any procession will be made the administration will be now reviewing it with more concern and as per the situation.
