Srinagar: Mysterious posters from the hitherto-unknown stone-pelters' outfit have surfaced, threatening to immolate girls if they ride a Scooty (to mean two-wheelers) in the valley.
Girls beware! Next time you ride a Scooty here, you may land in trouble with Sangbaaz Association Jammu and Kashmir, Azad Kashmir, the ubiquitous association of stone-throwers in Kashmir.
Mysterious posters from the hitherto-unknown stone-pelters' outfit have surfaced in the city centre, threatening to immolate girls if they ride a Scooty (to mean two-wheelers) in the valley. "We request all girls, please do not use Scooty. If we see a girl riding Scooty, we will burn the Scooty as well as the girl (sic)", reads the posters, using a mix of English and Urdu.
The posters of Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HuM) and Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) also have surfaced in south Kashmir. They ask people to continue agitation till freedom and urge women not to venture out of their homes. The HuM and LeT, in fact, even ask government employees not to report for work and continue with the hartals.
The stone-pelters' posters, with Kalima (the first basic fundamental of Islam), printed on top was put up the in historic Lal Chowk area on Saturday, sending security agencies into a tizzy.
They also named some shopkeepers and banks and asked them to shut down immediately or face consequences. Urging mosque managements to raise slogans and play taranas (freedom and jihadi anthems) after every namaz (prayer), the Sangbaaz Association asked people to offer prayers for the Kashmir valley.
The Jammu and Kashmir police have gone into an overdrive to track down the people behind the posters. Inspector General of Police, Kashmir zone, SJM Gillani, told that dna they are examining the posters and whatever legal action is needed will be taken.
"There was one poster. We are examining it. Whatever legal action is necessary will be taken. There is no need to panic. We will ensure security. We will take care of people moving on Scooties," said Gillani.
