NEW DELHI: After the Army initiated disciplinary action against Major Gogoi , former chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir , Mehbooba Mufti "welcomed" the step on Monday.The former J&K CM, in a tweet, said she hoped that unlike Pathribal and Machil fake encounters, this case is taken to its "logical conclusion"."Army initiating disciplinary action against Major Gogoi is a welcome step. Only hope that unlike Pathribal and Machil fake encounters, it is taken to its logical conclusion," Mufti wrote.Earlier, Union minister Jitendra Singh while reacting to a question on Gogoi said that it was for the Army to take appropriate action.Major Leetul Gogoi, who was at centre of the human shield controversy, was indicted by an Army court for "fraternising" with a woman, paving way for initiation of disciplinary action against him.Police had detained Gogoi on May 23 following an altercation when he was allegedly trying to enter a Srinagar hotel with an 18-year-old woman. He was briefly detained by the police and later handed over to Army authorities.Major Gogoi, posted with the 53 Rashtriya Rifles (Punjab Regiment) at Beerwa in Budgam district, had first faced flak after he controversially decided to truss up a civilian named Farooq Ahmad Dar on his jeep’s bonnet as “a human shield” to rescue over a dozen security and election personnel from a stone-pelting mob in Budgam district on April 9 last year.Dar while reacting to the action against Gogoi said he is thankful to the Almighty."I am thankful to the Almighty. The person who ruined my life has to face the wrath of God finally. God has his ways to do justice," Dar said."I am not even sure whether I will be able to restart my life again but I am happy that God has given me justice at the end of the day. The person who is responsible for my destruction has also been eventually shamed," he added."Heartening news. At least there is still justice left in the armed forces while most institutions are crumbling. Ideally Major Gogoi should have been court martialed he he tied the civilian to his jeep.""Major Leetul Gogoi to face court martial. Well, this should have been done long ago - when he tied an innocent Kashmiri to the bonnet of his jeep, left him forever traumatised . Anyway, Der Aaye, Durust Aaye.""Out of box thinking and gutsy attitude can save lives and win accolades but the same qualities can be so detrimental when they go out of line esp when you are in focus. Fine line. Very sad to see him throw it all after all the support he got.""Just click on "Major Leetul Gogoi" trend to find out how right wing is reacting to his court martial. There is pin drop silence. Not a tweet. Same right wing worshiped him for violating human rights by human shield, fiercely defended him when caught with a woman in a hotel."
