Srinagar, Jan 26 (KNS): Paying glowing tributes to martyrs of Kupwara massacres on their 23rd anniversary, Hurriyat (G) chairman, Syed Ali Geelani said that the nation will never forget the martyrs of these heart-wrenching massacres. They are our hero’s and we are committed to fulfil their mission.
In a statement issued to KNS, he demanded impartial investigation into these massacres so that the involved persons are held strictly accountable and said that armed forces are involved in serious war crimes and unless those accused are brought to book these gruesome events will continue to occur.
Hurriyat (G) Chairman said that the peaceful citizens in Kupwara were innocent and the example of such brutal massacres is hard to find. They didn’t attend the republican day of the occupier and observed shutdown against brutal forces and their highhandedness and for this they had to pay in terms of their lives. This was the reason and Indian forces in a bid to teach them lesson resorted to indiscriminate firing killing dozens of innocents.Click Here To Follow Our WhatsApp Channel
Pro-freedom Leader while lamenting the Indian rulers said that killers are roaming free and those involved were not prosecuted nor the incident was investigated by any independent agency. They are roaming free and assassins were accorded with medals and elevated to higher posts, said Geelani.
Expressing his solidarity and sympathy with the families of martyrs, Pro-freedom Leader said that the blood of these martyrs will not be allowed go waste. We stand with these families and will strive till the mission of martyrs is accomplished.
Acknowledging the commitment of people of Kupwara, Geelani said that we pay our salute to them as they are front runners for ongoing movement. We appreciate their sacrifices and commitment and we know that the district is strictly under continuous vigil of countless armed men but despite all this their exemplary valour is praiseworthy and laudable.
