In a
startling revelation, Ministry of Home Affairs Government of India has
maintained that it information about the recommendations submitted by Koul
Commission that was constituted by previous Jammu and Kashmir government led by
Omar Abdullah to probe the street killings of over 120 youth in Kashmir Valley
during 2010 unrest.
The Ministry
for Home Affairs Government of India in response to an application filed under
Right to Information Act by Kashmiri social activist MM Shujah has said
maintained that: “the information sought about Koul Commission is not available
with us and therefore, the information may please treated as NIL.”
The applicant
had sought replies to different questions including: ‘whether the State
Government shared the Koul Commission Report with New Delhi and why it was not
made public and he had also asked whether the Koul Commission recommendation
will be implemented in letter and spirit or not.’

years in December 2016.
