ASK strongly protests and condemns the Home Minister\u2019s comment on crossfire in the orientation program of Milestone College.<\/p>\n
We learned from the newspaper reports that the Home Minister has said in her response to queries by the press- \u201cThere is no such thing called crossfire. When the terrorists attack the police, they use counter fire to protect themselves.\u201d We heard many times her and other ministers of giving such type of statements. But by analyzing the documents and evidences and using the common sense, people find it difficult to believe in the same statement that when the well equipped elite force goes for arms recovery with a captive who is handcuffed, his gang mates attack the elite force, the captive makes an endeavor to escape and gets killed consequently by the fire of the elite force but none of his companion is arrested or receives bullet. This type of statement has lost all kinds of credibility in the eyes of people.<\/p>\n
When the public personalities like the Home Minister and others try to establish this doubtful statement as the truth, then this sets up a disgraceful example and encourages the law enforcement agencies of engaging in such wrong doing. So far we were told that in such incidents it is only the so-called terrorists who fire, but at least now the Home Minister confessed that shots are fined by the law enforcement agencies.<\/p>\n
We said it repeatedly that the practice of extra judicial killings is not supportive of establishing rule of law or unacceptable in democratic culture. In addition to this we would like to say that the practice of establishing this type of false statements by the elected representatives may result in worsening of the law and order situation. The Home Minister said that the government always takes initiatives to investigate such incidents. We demand to make the details of such investigation public so that people can believe that their elected representatives are telling them the truth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
