Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC) President Tariq Hameed Karra demanded an impartial judicial probe into the Leh violence of September 24, which tragically claimed the lives of four individuals. Karra asserted that the investigation should involve a sitting High Court judge or, if that is not feasible, a highly respected retired judge known for integrity.
While addressing reporters on Thursday, Karra stated, “Whatever happened in Leh should not be repeated, but there must be an inquiry. If a sitting High Court judge is not available on fast track, then the probe should be entrusted to a credible retired judge.” His call for a judicial inquiry underscores the demand for accountability and transparency concerning the tragic events.
Karra’s comments come amidst rising tensions and the community’s demands for justice. The recent violence in Leh has raised significant concerns about security and governance in the region, prompting leaders to call for a thorough investigation.
Earlier in the day, Karra honored the memorable contributions of Mahatma Gandhi and former Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri on their birth anniversaries. He reflected on their leadership, ideology, and commitment to a self-reliant India. “The Gandhian philosophy resonates globally, even being commemorated by the United Nations,” he remarked, linking these values with current political scenarios.
Looking ahead, Karra discussed the upcoming Rajya Sabha elections and indicated that decisions related to seat-sharing and alliances would be managed at the central leadership level of Congress. He mentioned senior Congress leader Digvijay Singh has been appointed as the observer for the process, highlighting the party’s strategic approaches.
Additionally, addressing the issue of Independent legislator Mehraj Malik, Karra advocated for his attendance in the Assembly session. He drew parallels to past instances, stating, “Even Engineer Rashid was allowed to participate in Parliament while lodged in Tihar Jail. By the same analogy, Mehraj Malik should also be allowed.” This assertion reflects Karra’s ongoing commitment to democratic principles and the rights of legislators.
As the situation unfolds, the demand for a judicial inquiry into the Leh violence continues to gain momentum, pointing to the necessity for responsible governance and respect for citizens’ rights in the region. The JKPCC maintains its stance on the need for accountability in this sensitive matter, urging the government to prioritize the well-being of the community as they seek justice.
