Srinagar, Sep 04 (KNS): Hurriyat (M) spokesman Sunday said that even on the day when the Indian parliamentary delegation was coming for the so called "reach out to people" their ruthless armed forces could not halt their killing and injuring spree even for the day. The murder of 20-year-old, Abdul Basit Ahanger of Qazigund who was first grievously injured by pellets and then pushed into the river by the forces, the indiscriminate firing on people in his funeral procession injuring dozens, or the absolute barbarism of firing pellets on four year old Barena in her eye and her eight year old brother Zafar in his chest, show the total contempt and brutality of the Indian agencies towards the people of Kashmir.
The spokesman said that the alarming statistics that every six hours one person gets an eye injury due to the lethal pellet gun is shocking and shameful for the country that keeps trumpeting its democratic credentials across the globe.
Condemning the arrest of senior Hurriyat leader, Moulana Masroor Abbas Ansari and his detention at the local police station while trying to peacefully March towards the airport as per the joint resistance program, the Spokesman reiterated that nocturnal raids on the residences of Hurriyat Activists and youth and their arrests and harassment, would not be able to break their or the people's will to carry forward their struggle.Click Here To Follow Our WhatsApp Channel
