Srinagar: The Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly Speaker has admitted a private member’s resolution moved by Waheed-Ur-Rehman Parra, a PDP legislator from Pulwama, strongly condemning hate crimes against minorities and urging strict enforcement of the law.
The resolution comes amid rising incidents of targeted attacks and harassment of Kashmiri students and traders in different parts of the country.
According to an official communication from the Assembly Secretariat, the resolution has been admitted under Rule 179 of the Rules of Procedure and Conduct of Business in the J-K Legislative Assembly.
The resolution “strongly condemns all forms of hate crimes against minorities and calls upon the Government of India and state governments to take immediate and effective measures to prevent, investigate, and prosecute such offences with strict enforcement of the law.”
In recent weeks, several incidents involving alleged attacks and intimidation of Kashmiri students and traders in various states have drawn political attention, prompting calls from multiple quarters for stronger safeguards and accountability mechanisms.
