Shopian civilian killing: JRL calls for Kashmir shutdown tomorrow

Srinagar: To protest against the killing of a civilian during a gunfight in Kundalan village of south Kashmir’s Shopian district today, Joint Resistance Leadership (JRL) called for Kashmir shutdown tomorrow.

Earlier in the day, teenager Tamsheel Khan of Vehil Shopian was shot on his head near the gunfight site. He later succumbed in a hospital.

“Kashmir turned into a graveyard of its own people by Indian forces as 3 more civilians die today and more than 50 injured! young Tamseel directly shot at, while 11th class student Ubaid succumbed to his bullets wounds, elderly Ishaq Naikoo died of cardiac arrest as news of his son being under siege reached him!,” Mirwaiz Umar Farooq tweeted.

“JRL appeals people to observe #Strike tomorrow to register our protest & condemnation,” he added.

Mirwaiz also appealed people to march towards Martyrs’ Graveyard at Naqshband Shab (RA) Shrine on July 13 to pay homage to Kashmir resistance.
