Dukhtaran-e-Millat (DeM) on Monday expressed serious concern over rallies of Hindu right wing group RSS in Jammu division.
DeM said that these rallies are “aimed at” creating hatred and volatile atmosphere to “suppress” the Muslims of the region.
“These rallies are aimed at harassing the Muslims and put them under psychological stress and pressurize them so that they do not speak against the horrifying and ruthless atrocities in Kashmir,” DeM Secretary General, Nahida Nasreen, said in a statement issued this evening.
Nasreen said that the people of Kashmir are with the Muslims of Jammu division and “will stand by them always”. “Fanatic elements in Jammu region have their police and bureaucracy to oppress Muslims.”
Meanwhile, the DeM secretary general said that the incarcerated chairperson of DeM, Syedah Aasiyeh Andrabi, has been put in “distressful condition” in Baramulla sub-jail. “Only a few blood relatives are allowed to meet her.”
She said that while in central jail an inmate is allowed to meet his/her relatives twice, “it is not the case in Baramulla sub-jail”.
“In Baramulla, a relative is allowed to meet his/her relatives only once,” she added.
Quoting some inmates of the jail, Nasreen said that “since” Rajni Sehgal (Ex-superintendent Kotbalwal) has been posted as the superintendent of the jail, “the inmates have been made to face extreme conditions in the jail”.
“There are no proper sanitation facilities in the jail and that the cells always stink. This has created health conditions for majority of the inmates including Aasiyeh Andrabi,” Nasreen informed.
Aasiyeh is an asthma patient, but “her jail cell is in very unhygienic condition and it has created health issues for her”.
“Criminals involved in different cases along with some renegades have been put in the same cells were the people who have been arrested on the charges of being pro-aazadi,” the DeM Sec Gen added.
“Recently some inmates went on a strike and even denied to meet their relatives in protest against the unhygienic and distressful conditions in their respective cells. It has affected their health and many of them have fallen ill,” Nasreen said.
