Srinagar, Oct 08 : Chairman of Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF), Muhammad Yasin Malik on Saturday said that ‘brutal killing’ of Kashmiri kid, Junaid Ahmad at Saidpora Eidgah has again revealed the ugly face of Indian brutality in Jammu Kashmir.
In a statement issued to KNS, Malik said that unabated spree of innocent killings, arrests, nocturnal raids and increasing number of injured and disabled people a testimony to the hollowness of Indian democracy.
Malik strongly condemned the ‘brutal killing’ of a 12 year boy at Saidpora Eidgah yesterday.
Malik said that despite tall claims by Indian rulers and their ‘Kashmiri puppets’ about stopping the use of pellet guns, this ‘so-called’ non-lethal weapon is on daily basis hunting Kashmiris and ironically ‘so-called’ rulers instead of showing some humanity keep on blaming those killed instead of killers.
JKLF chief said that during last 92 days of resistance pellets, bullets, tear gas shells and lathees of Indian soldiers, security forces and police have taken lives of more than 95 innocents, injured more than 18000 among whom hundreds lost their eyes, vandalized properties worth crores and shattered lives of millions of Kashmiris.
He said that on daily basis hundreds are being injured and arrested and rulers and their authorities shamelessly keep on boasting about these atrocities and human rights abuses and legalizing these through their civil administration.
Malik said that ‘so-called’ rulers and their authorities don’t know that these brutal killings, inflicting injuries to innocents, arrests, slapping black law PSA and other oppressive measures can yield them nothing but shame and according to the law of retribution they will have to answer one day for their crimes against humanity.
Malik said that Kashmir has been turned into a concentration camp where no space has been left for peaceful struggle.
He said that ‘so-called’ rulers have let loose the forces of evil and every time people try to demonstrate peacefully and raise their voices democratically, these forces start tear gas and pepper gas shelling, pellet and bullet firings and cane charging and thus promote violence by pushing peaceful people to the wall.
“How can these so-called rulers talk of democracy, non-violence, battle of ideas and talks not bullets, when they have caged almost whole resistance camp and thousands of young and elderly and are not letting anyone to raise his or her voice peacefully,” Malik asked.
While paying tributes to innocent martyr Junaid Ahmad of Saidpora Eidgah who fell to pellet ‘terrorism on India’ yesterday, Malik said that that the blood of these innocents will never go in vain and the killers of these innocents and those who patronize these killings will have to answer for these crimes against humanity.
