“The residents took out a candlelight march at Thaiyur Road in Chenganmal. They observed silence for a minute and prayed for the departed souls. It was organised to express our support to the Indian Army and their valuable contribution to the nation,” said G Vinoth of Srikaram Shubhadhi Apartment in Kelambakkam.
Similarly, the Bharathipuram Residents Welfare Association in Chromepet also held a candlelight vigil. “Around 60 residents from this locality took part in the event. We organised the event as many are unaware of the struggles of the soldiers and their battles in the border. We wanted to show our support to them,” said the secretary of the association R Ramdas.
Crime against humanity,says Prince of Arcot
The Prince of Arcot Nawab Mohammed Abdul Ali in a strongly-worded statement condemned the Pulwama terror attack on the Srinagar-Jammu Highway as ‘a crime against humanity.’
He said that any person or group which attempts to rule the world through aggression, atrocity and domination cannot thrive. He also expressed horror at the fact that youngsters in Kashmir are being brain-washed into becoming terrorists, which is most un-Islamic. It is the duty of religious leaders to wean the youth away from such tendencies.
Retired DGP asks for a chance to wipe out terror from Jammu and Kashmir
Father of a TN cadre IPS officer Shankar Bidari, also a retired DGP from Karnataka, has appealed to the Prime Minister Narendra Modi to give him a chance to eradicate terrorism in Kashmir.
Shankar Bidari is the father of Vijendra Bidari, a TN cadre IPS officer serving in CBI. He also the father-in-law of Rohini Bidari, Salem district collector. In a series of tweets, he stated, “I am now 64-years-old. If given an appropriate role, I am ready to go to Kashmir and erase terrorism from Kashmir.
It does not matter even if I have to sacrifice my life for this cause. My e mail Id is ….xxx,” he said. He had also tagged Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his tweet.
While he has not stated what kind of role he wants play in Kashmir, it is not clear if the retired officer is eyeing for a post like that of retired DGP K Vijay Kumar, a TN cadre officer, who is currently serving Jammu and Kashmir as security advisor. Shankar Bidari has also been critical about Karnataka BJP in his tweets.
