Srinagar: Strongly denouncing the killing of teenage student Faizan Ahmed son of Dr Abdul Gabi Khan of Ladhoo Pampore in forces firing and inflicting injuries to scores of people at Pulwama, Joint Resistance Leadership on Saturday said that since the imposition of Governors rule in the State an “all-out war” has been declared against the people.
“Now minor boys are being brutally killed which reflects the government’s policy of ultimate repression aimed at forcing people of Kashmir and the resistance leadership into a submission, “ said the JRL comprising Syed Ali Geelani Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and Muhammad Yasin Malik in a joint statement issued here.
The leadership said the recent report of United Nations Human Rights council has already taken a lid off the gory chapter of human rights violations committed by the lakhs of forces in Kashmir and the report stands as an eye opener for the rest of the world as how the rights of peace loving people of Kashmir are trampled under boots of police, military and paramilitary personnel.
The JRL also staged a protest march against the brutal killing of little Faizan at Nowhatta. The protest was led by JRL leader Muhammad Yasin Malik and was attended by hundreds of JRL activists. The protesters carrying placards were shouting slogans against the killing of minor Faizan Khan and nocturnal raids in South Kashmir villages and the killing spree in Kashmir. They said that “repression” can’t break the resolve of people of Kashmir.
Addressing the gathering on the occasion, JKLF chief Malik said Faizan was shot dead and was declared brought dead by his father who is a doctor. “This is the situation in Kashmir. South Kashmir has been turned into a military garrison where searches, killings are routine, ” he said. Malik said if innocent killings doesn’t stop , JRL will be bound to announce people’s agitation. Malik said that scores of prisoners have been framed under frivolous cases by NIA and ED and lodged in various jails without any justification and trial. Malik urged the international community to take serious note of the war crimes being committed by the lakhs of government forces and to ensure brutal violations of rights are stopped here forthwith.
