Srinagar: Kashmir Economic Alliance has asked government to book lawyers and others who have a “pro-rapist” stand in Asifa rape and murder case or face agitation in Kashmir.
Kathua Bar Association created a high drama yesterday trying to stop law enforcement agencies from submission of chargesheet before a local court in the district into rape and murder of 8-yar-old Asifa.
“Support for rapists make you accomplice in crime and these people must be booked,” Mohammad Yasin Khan said while urging. Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti totget a police case registered against them.
” It is a failure of the state government that it can’t gag forces like Hindu Ekta Manch, who carried out pro rapist rallies in Jammu and now they are stopping Crime Branch from taking the investigations to its logical conclusion,” he said.
Khan appealed the civil society of Jammu region not to look at rape and murder of a nomad Muslim girl on communal lines but as crime against humanity.
He questioned the silence of Indian civil society over the issue of rape and murder.
