The attempt by Narendra Modi-led Indian govern-ment to hide its crimes and project its so-called normalcy narrative in illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir has fallen flat after its handpicked delegation of retired Judges and top Jurists postponed the visit to Srinagar citing security threat.
The delegation led by President of London-based International Council of Jurists and Chairman of All India Bar Association, Adish C. Aggarwala that has arrived in Jammu refused to proceed to Srinagar, lashing out at the local administration and police for not “taking appropriate steps with regard to security arrangements”.
President, International Council of Jurists (ICJ), London, Dr. Adish C Aggarwala disclosed that the Indian flag hoisting had been postponed due to se-curity threat. He said he was travelling from Katra to Srinagar for the purpose of unfurling the flag at Lal Chowk, Srinagar, the members stopped at Samroli in Udhampur district for meal.
“Two cars stopped near our parked car, one to my left and the other behind my taxi. In the left side car, one occupant was having a rifle. A short height person came to me and told me “Kashmir me Tiranga Farare Ho. Srinagar Me Dekh Lenge” (Hoisting Indian flag in Kashmir. Will see you in Srinagar).”
He further said, “I kept mum and did not react and instead asked the driver to take me to Jammu claiming that I have to collect the important file.”
“I reached Jammu and checked in Circuit House in the early morning of June 18. I have not reported this incident to Police officials as some of them may be under the influence of anti-India forces,” he said in a statement.—KMS
