KASHMIR TRADERS AND MANUFACTURERS FEDERATION. Expressing serious concern over J&K Government’s “political vengeance” against Shehr e Khaas. ALHAJ Muhammad Yaseen Khan on Tuesday said people of Shehr e Khaas are made to suffer for their political identity. Khan said Govt is neglecting the areas in and around various Mosques and Shrines of Shehr e Khas, particularly around Jamia Masjid Srinagar which is gearing to host devotees ahead of forthcoming Holy Ramadhan. He said that there is a deliberate conspiracy to overshadow the significant distinct character of Pulpit of Jamia Masjid which has Historic, Religious and Political importance. “Jamia Masjid remains abuzz with the devotees particularly during Sehri and Iftar times however no one from Civil administration bothers to oversee arrangements for the devotees. No one from the State administration is visible on the ground there” ,Khan said. He stated that on one hand State Government sheds crocodile tears about Shehr e Khas being a prime place in its vision to restore pristine glory of Srinagar city but on the other hand they continue the callous and step motherly attitude towards Shehr e Khaas. “By ignoring the development government is destroying the historic character of Shehr-e-Khas which is a symbol of Kashmir’s glorious heritage. SMC, PDD , UEED, CAPD, Fire Services and other basic amenities are nowhere to be found” , Khan said. He said if the State Govt continues to ignore the Shehr e Khaas they will hit the streets.

Chief Minister, who is also the Home Minister, must get a police case registered against such satanic faces who have left the entire humanity ashamed by supporting the rapists,” Khan said, in a statement.Khan, who also heads the Kashmir Traders and Manufacturers Federation (KTMF), said it was the failure of the state government to gag forces like Hindu Ekta Manch, which initiated pro-rapist rallies in Jammu region.“Hooliganism has now reached a level that Crime Branch is being stopped from taking the investigations to its logical conclusion.”Khan appealed to the civil society of Jammu region not to look at r**e and murder of a nomad Muslim girl on communal lines but as a crime against humanity.“Cutting across communal and political ideologies every human should look at Asifa as her own daughter. Her r**e and murder was crime against humanity and we accept sane voices in Jammu region to uphold this cause which is to seek justice for Asifa,” Khan said.He asked the government to crush with iron hands the voices supporting the rapists. “If innocent Kashmiris are killed for no fault of theirs, why no action {is being taken} against those supporting r**e and murder?” he asked.He questioned the silence of Indian civil society over the issue of r**e and murder.

Scene of traffic jam in Srinagar

KTMF Sr Vice President Manzoor Ahmad Bhat accused Traffic police of neglecting Downtown Srinagar as there is zero deployment of Traffic police cops in the area. “People from across Kashmir Valley visit Old City as it houses various sacred shrines and holy places and thus it becomes difficult for people to park their vehicles on either sides of roads.”

Government has failed to designate paid parking lots in Downtown as their is not a single parking lot available, he said. “The traffic department needs to discuss the issue with the stakeholders to streamline the process of traffic regulation in Srinagar,” he concluded.
