Demanding impartial probe and stringent action against those accused in murder and rape of Kathua minor girl Asifa, the participants said that the authorities were providing shield to the involved persons in the heinous crime. Paying tributes to youth slain in Shopian and other places, they said that despite all hardships sacrifices of Kashmiris would yield desired results and would see the dawn of freedom soon.
