Reacting over the attack by self styled ‘gaw rakshaks’ in which five members of a nomad family including a nine-year-old girl was injured in Reasi district of Jammu province, the Kashmir Economic Alliance (KEA) has urged Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti to immediately ban such gangs “which are hell bent at communal polarization of the state.”

In a statement issued by KEA Chairman Muhammad Yasin, he said: “The history of these so called Gaw Rakshaks is that they have been killing the innocent people of the minority community. And these so called vigilantes who work at the behest of saffron forces have one agenda to terrorize the minority community. This Gunda Raaj will not be tolerated in our state and if the state government fails to ban these gangs, onus of public reaction will lie on the government itself.”

 


Stating that people of Kashmir respect every religion and have never hurt sentiments of any community, he said “the Gaw Rakshaks are nothing but a gang of saffron forces.”

“Why didn’t such vigilantes exist or terrorize people till three years ago?” he asked.
Urging the Chief Minister to “nip the evil in the bud,” the statement said “state cannot be taken hostage at the cost of goons”.
“They have started with attack on one family including a small girl, this hate may turn into epidemic tomorrow. So it’s better to get rid of the menace by banning it right now.”
