Anantnag: A class VI student of Zadipora Khanabal area in the home constituency of Chief Minister Mehbooba has nothing to say against police, army and the paramilitaries but is crying for government’s attention and intervention amid fear of loosing eyesight in his second eye.
Asif was a class IV student when he went to market to buy biscuits but was hit by pellet on 20th July,2016 in a nearby market in Zadipora Khanaba . In the market he was all of sudden tapped in clashes between the rock hurling youth and the government forces and a pellet penetrated into his one eye .
Talking to this Kashmir Horizon correspondent Asif with tears in his eyes said “I aspired to be an engineer but after finding my one eye blinded by the pellet I am loosing fast my interest with the books in class. I expected that someone from the government would come to lent a helping hand to me to recover the eyesight in one eye I have lost but now I feel poor vision in my other eye . No body from the government is coming to my rescue despite the fact that Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti herself is our MLA”.
Asif now in 6th class is the son of one Ab Rashid who has two more sons Irshad aged 15 year and Junaid 12 years and a minor daughter Shahida. The whole family is in trauma as the pellet blinded Asif is upset over the way pellet blindness has stopped his march to excel in schooling to cherish his dream of becoming an engineer. Asif himself told this correspondent “ I have nothing say against army, police and paramilitaries but I seek the help from the government and hope being a child of Chief Minister’s home constituency people at the helm will come to my rescue”. Asked if someone come to see him so for , Asif said “ only media persons came , captured my photographs and videos, and took statements from me but no from the government came to me to offer help for the treatment which I bady need to prevent eyesight of my second eye”.
