Srinagar, Aug 10: People’s Democratic Party (PDP) leader and MLA Waheed Ur Rehman Parra on Sunday called for the Jammu and Kashmir administration to extend its rehabilitation efforts to all victims of violence, regardless of who was responsible for their suffering.
Reacting to Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha’s recent initiative to rehabilitate victims of terrorist attacks, Parra described the move as a “humane step towards healing families who have paid the ultimate price.” However, Parra warned that selective rehabilitation risks leaving families affected by errors of security forces “unseen and unhealed.”
“Not every person killed in such incidents was anti-national. If rehabilitation is selective, where should these victims go?” Parra stated in a post on X. He cautioned that true integration demands “acknowledging all citizens harmed by violence, whether by militants, non-state actors, or the state itself.”
