Srinagar: Expressing deep grief over the martyrdom of a teenager Qaisar Ahmad Sofi due to torture by police, the Democratic Freedom Party (DFP) on Saturdaysaid this is yet another black deed by police authorities.
In a statement issued to Kashmir Today, DFP general secretary Moulana Abdullah Tari said the state administration and police are responsible for the death of Shaheed Qaisar Sofi. He termed it extremely unfortunate that some police officers for petty material gains are proving themselves as more loyal than king and as such are making their livelihood by committing such heinous crimes.
He said police must bear in mind that the power of uniform is short-lived and “at the end of the day you have to live and die among your own people whom you are killing, maiming and massacring”.
Moulana Tari strongly condemned the teargas shelling on the martyr’s funeral saying, “PDP has surpassed all the records of hooliganism and has created a history of inflicting limitless tyranny and brutality on people. The party must bear in mind that it cannot escape the fury of people. Time will provide justice to all.”
Meanwhile, Freedom Party activists Muhammad Yousuf Mir, Raees Ahmad, Qaisar Ahmad, Owais Muhammad, Rafiq Ahmad, Bilal Ahmad, and Faizaan participated in the funeral prayers of Shaheed Qaisar Ahmad Sofi.
