SRINAGAR: In occupied Kashmir, the entire Hurriyet leadership condemned the killing of innocent civilians by Indian forces in Chadoora area of Badgam district on Tuesday.
The Hurriyet leaders included Syed Ali Gilani, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and Mohammad Yasin Malik condemned the killing of civilians including Zahid Rasheed, Saqib Ahmad and Ishfaq Ahmad by the brutal Indian forces.
Hurriyet leadership said that Indian forces in pursuit of the policy statement of Indian Army Chief, General Bipin Rawat, were carrying out brutalities against civilians in the territory.
They said that the incidents of innocent civilian killings have increased after General Rawat had warned that people holding protests during army operations would be considered as colleagues of freedom-fighters and would be dealt with strictly.
According to a press release issued on Wednesday, the leaders said that under a well-thought design, Indian Army, police and paramilitary personnel were killing the civilians. They warned of mass agitation in case killings were not stopped. “Our young sons are being killed with impunity but no one among the international community seems to be bothered,” they deplored.
The leadership added that Indian forces were showering bullets, pellets and grenade shells on the peaceful protestors who were raising voice for right to self-determination.
They appealed to the world community to take notice of the killing of unarmed civilians by Indian forces in occupied Kashmir.
