Srinagar: Kashmiri Pandit Sangarash Samiti (KPSS), an organization of Kashmir Pandits, on Sunday announced support to shutdown called by Joint Resistance Leadership against the killing of civilians in Kulgam.
“We feel pain of killing of 5 civilians (now six after the death of another injured at SKIMS) and nearly 43 injured during Cordon and Search Operation in Kulgam,” Sanjay K. Tickoo, President of the KPSS, said in a statement issued here.
“It is mandatory for security forces to sanitize the area where encounter happens to safe guard the lives of the civilians. It seems that the security forces take these basic things casually, which resulted in today’s incident in which 5 civilians got killed and nearly 43 persons got severely injured.”
“While Kashmir is being pushed back to the 1990 era by people’s alienating policies by the political parties, the central establishment is enjoying the so-called victory in Kashmir Valley and is not bothered to diffuse current political turmoil in the Valley,” he added.
