asks police to prepare ground for dialogue
Policemen catching militants alive will get double the reward money than for killing militants, Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti announced Wednesday. The Chief Minister asked police not to attack families of militants as she directed the force to prepare ground for dialogue and reconciliation. The directions have come after appointment of an interlocutor by New Delhi to initiate dialogue in Jammu & Kashmir.
Addressing the passing out parade of 696 cadets at Police Training School (PTS) Manigam in Ganderbal district, the Chief Minister said it was easy to kill a militant but difficult to wipe out militancy from Kashmir. “For cleaning Kashmir of militancy, police needs people on board. By annoying people, you won’t succeed,” she told the cadets.
She said New Delhi’s recent move to appoint interlocutor is aimed at creating an atmosphere of reconciliation in J&K. “Police have a big role in creating an atmosphere for the process of reconciliation and dialogue,” Mehbooba said. “This is for the first time that Prime Minister Narendra Modi along with Home Minister Rajnath Singh appointed a person and gave him a status of cabinet secretary.”
She said the government led by Prime Minister Modi has mandate of 120 crore people and the decision to appoint the interlocutor has full support of people of India.
“I will double the reward amount if you pull out a militant alive in the encounters or wherever he is found,” she said.
The Chief Minister in a bid to raise the morale of cadets said, “Even if a militant wears police or army fatigue, that won’t make him at par with you. Police is a law abiding force, a well trained force that protect people and help people in getting justice. Militants are out to do the reverse of all this,” she said.
Mehbooba said she should not get any complaint about policemen vandalising the houses of militants. “You should not reciprocate what militants do. Your work and approach should differentiate you from militants,” she said. “Militants kill political workers and also torch their homes, while police is a law abiding force.”
