AJK: (AJK President condemns unprovoked Indian firing in Bhimber district)

ISLAMABAD:Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) President, Sardar Masood Khan has strongly condemned the unprovoked Indian firing in Bhimber district of AJK that resulted in the killing of a young student.

Umar Subhani, a 20-year-old BSc student was said to be making preparations for Iftar in the courtyard of his house in Bhimber district when Indian troops targeted him with small arms fire on Wednesday night.

While paying tributes to the AJK citizens residing along the Line of Control for recurrently facing Indian blitz, the President said that it is extremely unfortunate that Indian forces were brazenly violating ceasefire agreement of 2003.

He said India is escalating tension on LoC only to distract the world’s attention from the worst human rights violations by its forces in the Indian-occupied Kashmir.

He said Indian acts at LoC could not dampen the spirit of Kashmiri people for the freedom of their motherland from Indian occupation.

Sardar Masood Khan further said India had failed to crush indigenous Kashmir freedom struggle in the past and it would not be able to defeat the courage and determination of the Kashmiris in future.
