He said he that could not see the reason that police firing was only option before the administration. Habibullah visited Forbesganj on June 21 along with his team members.
“I prefer to visit my self as I was perturbed over the media report and video clipping coming from Forbesganj” NCM chief told TIA on phone from Lucknow.
Habibullah said he would soon submit its report on Forbesganj firing to central government. “Myself and
my team is working on the report and it would be submitted to the government in week time”, he said.
He said that he never ordered police firing in his entire carrier as an administrative officer even as he was posted in sensitive Jammu and Kashmir. He said that any police officer could not order firing. Only a magistrate could order firing that too in extreme situation. “This is basic of our constitution” he said.
On June 3 Bihar Policemen killed five villagers, including a seven-month-old infant, during a protest in Bihar’s Forbesganj.
Meanwhile many social and political organizations are planning to hold protest march across the country on July 3 onwards. They feel that even after one month of the incident nothing substantial has been done to ensure justice to the victims.
