Srinagar, Sept 21: Accused of being soft towards ultras, the Mufti Mohammad Sayeed-led coalition government in
Jammu and Kashmir has failed to put brakes on violation of
human rights in the state, three premier human rights groups
of the country have observed.
There are no signs of improvement in the human rights
situation under the ruling People's Democratic Party-led
coalition, joint fact finding committee of Association for
Democratic Rights, Punjab, Human Rights Forum, Andhra Pradesh
and Organistion for Protection of Democratic Rights said in a
booklet entitled 'Kashmir - an Enquiry into the healing
touch'.
The rights situation was largely so because there is no regeneration of the institutions which will keep police and armed forces in check and accountable to law, the committee, which toured Jammu and Kashmir in May last, said.
The task of the committee was to find out whether there was an improvement in the human rights situation under the PDP-Congress government and whether the problems of the border migrants and the views of the people of the state had been taken into consideration regarding proposed talks for resolution of the Kashmir dispute between India and Pakistan.
The report said that during initial months of the present government, there was a slight let-up in the number of custodial killings and cross-fire death of civilians, but it witnessed a reversal after Nadimarg massacre of 24 Kashmiri Pandits, the report added. Bureau Report
