KT NEWS SERVICE SRINAGAR, Feb 1: Democratic Freedom Party president Shabir Ahmad Shah today said that the security forces consider it a constitutional right to commit atrocities on the people.
Shah was addressing a gathering at Beerwah where a musque was damaged during an encounter.
He regretted that security forces did not exercise restraint leading to the loss to mosque.
The DFP president said the forces ransacked the houses around after the encounter ended and said several inmates were ruthlessly beaten.
"On one hand, New Delhi claims to make efforts to restore peace in sub-continent and on the other there is no end to excesses committed on people", he said.
Shah said it is not possible to have peace and war at a same time.
"They are giving the name of normalcy to the process of disturbing the situation", he said.
The DFP president said when claims are made to release detenues, Mohammad Qasim, a detenue was handed over an imprisonment verdict of 25 years.
