JAMMU: Senior Congress leader and former minister of Jammu and Kashmir, Ghulam Mohammad Saroori, today visited the residence of Late Mohammad Parvez in Jammu to express his heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family. Mohammad Parvez was allegedly killed in a fake encounter by the police, a matter that has sparked outrage and concern among the public. Saroori was accompanied by District Development Council (DDC) Suchetgarh member and senior Congress leader Taranjit Singh Tony and other local leaders during the visit.

Expressing deep sorrow, Congress leaders referred to Late Parvez as a martyr and prayed for his highest place in Jannah (Heaven). He said that no government compensation or job can ever truly fill the void left by the untimely and unjust loss of a loved one, but it may provide some relief to help the family survive in these difficult times.

Saroori assured the family of full support in their quest for justice and demanded that those responsible for this alleged fake encounter be brought to book. He emphasized that such acts by men in uniform are highly unacceptable and cannot be tolerated in a democratic society.

“The government claims that the Jammu and Kashmir Police follows a policy of zero tolerance against drugs, but it is deeply troubling that innocent youths are being killed by the very people who are supposed to protect them,” Saroori said and demanded a transparent and impartial investigation into the incident and called on the authorities to ensure swift justice. Saroori further stated that such incidents damage the public's faith in the system and strict action must be taken to prevent their recurrence.  Saroori assured the grieving family that the Congress Party stands firmly with them and will support them at every level to ensure that justice is delivered.
