*‘Screams from Gandabal......’*

*Father jumps back into river to save his son after boat capsize*

*Heart-wrenching scenes in Gandabal as Showkat’s brave act ends in tragedy*

Rehan Qayoom Mir

Srinagar, Apr 17 (KNO): “It was a father's love for his son that made him jump back into the Jhelum, after battling with the high tides of the river, to save his life. As he jumped back to save his son, he started to swim towards the rope of one shore, while he slowly started losing energy and eventually drowned along with his son," recounted an eyewitness about Showkat Ahmad, a devoted father, who made the ultimate sacrifice to save his son, Haziq, from the treacherous currents of the Jhelum River on Tuesday morning.

Heart-wrenching scenes unfolded in Srinagar's Gandabal area. Mourners recall that Showkat Ahmad, a proficient mason, left home on Tuesday morning to drop his son Haziq Showkat to school.

The school is situated on opposite sides of the Jhelum, and they are yet to return, as the boat they travelled in capsized in the river.

Among the father-son duo is another missing person, Farhan Parray. All three are among the fifteen persons who drowned when a boat ferrying locals and non-local J&K residents to the other side of the Jhelum capsized.

”Among the missing, Showkat Ahmad was the lone brother among six sisters and a helping hand to the family. He was a mason, but a man of his word and a hardworking person,” his neighbour said while speaking to the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO).

“Vanni Kyaa Karre Hoo, Me Kath Laggi Yi Kadel Vanni (now what will I do, what use is this bridge to me)," screamed the old mother of Showkat, as the bodies of her son and grandson are yet to be retrieved from the river.

“He was the lone brother of his five sisters. It is a shock for us and the entire locality,” said a woman, wailing over the loss and missing bodies.

An eyewitness, Tahir (name changed), recalled the incident. "Showkat saved himself and reached towards the rope but jumped back into the Jhelum upon seeing his son Hazik drowning. He started to swim towards the rope of one shore, while he slowly started losing energy and eventually drowned along with his son.”

“The cries from Gandabal are haunting me, as this is such a devastating incident and the first in my lifetime. Even if the authorities would give us a bridge made of gold, it would not be enough for us as we lost innocent souls to the waters of Jhelum,” he added.

Meanwhile, the rescue operation to retrieve the bodies continued all day on Wednesday, with no traces of the missing persons found—(KNO)

*Those fighting from BJP’s side can’t win elections: Omar*

*Says no candidate can compete with Mian Altaf, he is best choice for people*

Mubashir Aalam Wani

Srinagar, Apr 17 (KNO): National Conference (NC) Vice President Omar Abdullah Wednesday said that Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) secret candidates in Kashmir cannot win Lok Sabha elections and that no candidate can compete with Mian Altaf Ahmad Larvi in Anantnag-Rajouri parliamentary constituency.

Talking to the reporters in Larnoo area of Kokernag, Omar as per the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO), said that Union Home Minister Amit Shah has hinted not to filed their candidates from Kashmir and even stated they are not in hurry to make Lotus bloom in the valley, but the fact is they fielded their candidates from across Kashmir in 2014 elections, but failed to open their account.

“Now they (BJP) have been fighting elections with the support of others. We are openly contesting the elections with the support of INDI Alliance, but they are trying to keep the secret alliance hidden, which they have failed to ensure,” Omar said.

From South Kashmir, he said that there cannot be a strong candidate like Mian Altaf. “They cannot find any candidate who can compete with NC’s Mian Altaf Ahmad Larvi, he is the only candidate who can represent the people in a good way. I hope the people will accept it too,” he added.

PC Chairman Sajad Gani Lone and BJP leader Tarun Chugh met at Altaf Bukhari’s residence recently, which has exposed their alliance, he said, adding that people are well aware about their plans, thus winning elections have become difficult for the people who are fighting from BJP side.

Asked about his fight against Sajad Lone in Baramulla Parliamentary constituency, he said that every candidate is a strong contender, but let the votes be polled and the stringer candidate will be known to all—(KNO)
