Since the Chief Minister has been able to get hold of Lakhvinder, and if during investigation it is found that he is responsible for the murder, the trial must start immediately.
I suggest constitution of a special court so that the accused is tried on a day to day basis and the Trial is completed expeditiously.
The Government must also appoint a competent lawyer as a special Public Prescutor. He should be appointed on merit and not on his political background. I would also urge the Kashmir Bar association not to do anything which will be an impediment to fair trial or which may be responsible for transfer of the Trial outside Kashmir.
The accused should be given all legal assistance and he should be able to appoint a counsel of his choice. The work of the counsel should be facilitated by the bar association.
I hope this is a new beginning and all culprits will be brought to book. The Chief minister may also use his good offices to get Autar Singh to face Trial in respect of Murder of Jaleel

The following is a copy of the circular in which BSF denied having any role in the killing.
ReplyDeleteWhat, however, is of importance is not the denial. The BSF is claiming to be the 'only force in the valley' who has 'developed the potential' of making a distinction between innocents and terrorists!!
Need anything more be said about the state of affairs?

1. It has been observed that some of the DAILY NEWSPAPERS published articles regarding involvement of Border Security Force in killing of the local boy namely Zahid Farooq of Brein, Nishat, Srinagar on 5th Feb 2010.
2. The above news is fabricated and totally baseless as BSF is not in any way responsible for killing of said boy.
3. You are requested not to publish such type of fabricated news items in your paper that not only tarnishes the image of the BSF but also degrades the reputation of the Force that it has build over the years. We would like to remind you that BSF was deployed in Kashmir valley since the inception of militancy and has earned good name and fame due to being the only force in the valley that has developed the potential of distinguishing between the innocents and terrorists.
