Srinagar, June 10, 2020 (PPI-OT): In occupied Kashmir, Hurriyat leaders and organizations while denouncing the spree of killing unleashed by Indian troops in Shopian district over the past three days have paid glowing tributes to the martyrs saying that the youth are sacrificing their lives for the freedom cause.
Jammu and Kashmir Tehreek-e-Mazahamat Chairman, Bilal Siddiqi, in a statement issued in Srinagar, today, said the red-hot blood of martyrs would never go in vain. “Destruction of houses and properties, loot and arson are deliberate attempts of awarding collective punishment to the freedom-loving people of Kashmir,” he added.
Bilal Siddiqi said that the Kashmiri youth were choosing resistance path against luxurious and promising carriers and were fighting the sacred war of freedom to liberate their motherland from brutal Indian occupation. Reacting to the mass destruction of properties in Reibon, Pinjora and Sugoo in Shopian district, he said these are acts of cowardice, aimed at inflicting collective punishment to the freedom loving Kashmiri people.
Meanwhile, the Jammu and Kashmir Peoples League Vice Chairman, Aijaz Rehmani, in a statement in Islamabad expressed solidarity with the families of the martyrs. He said that Indian troops under the guise of so-called cordon and search operations and draconian laws like the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) were committing genocide of the youth in occupied Kashmir. He urged the UN and international human rights organizations to take notice of the worst human rights situation in Kashmir.
The Jammu and Kashmir Mass Movement Vice Chairman, Abdul Majeed Mir, in a statement said that while the whole world was urging people to stay indoors due to the coronavirus pandemic, occupied Kashmir is the only region in the world where Indian forces were conducting crackdown operations to kill people. He appealed to the international community to take notice of the massacre by India in occupied Kashmir and play its role in granting the Kashmiri people their inalienable right to self-determination.
