Srinagar: The Joint Resistance Leadership (JRL) comprising Syed Ali Geelani, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and Mohammad Yasin Malik on Thursday strongly condemned the killing of the 16 year-old student Mohammad younus at Gulabagh, Tral in Puwlama due to ‘indiscriminate’ pellet firing by the Indian forces .
The JRL said “forces are on a terror spree in South Kashmir areas every day. Under the garb of CASO youth are being brutally killed and a huge population placed under siege, people harassed, property damaged and even women and children terrorised.”
The leadership said that after Friday prayers on August 11, people will stage peaceful protest against the forces highhandedness and new wave of terror unleashed on the people of South Kashmir
The JRL urged the people of Kashmir to make the strike call given for Saturday (August 12) ‘a success’ stating that the call is against the assault on the J&K’s special status and continuous killings of Kashmiris at the hands of Indian forces.
The JRL also termed the arrest and shifting of senior resistance leaders as “sheer political vendetta to defame the resistance camp by framing the leaders under false and baseless charges and to demoralize the people of Kashmir.”
