He said that all pro-India politicians, political parties, leaders and assembly members are responsible for this genocide as these are the people who provide license to kill to these killers and shield their crimes against humanity by passing and incorporating appropriate laws and decrees.
Malik said that killing innocents under the garb of encounters and putting properties to flames is exposing the brutal face of Indian democracy in Kashmir. “Kashmiris want to ask these pro-India rulers and their Indian masters that what is the sin of six month old Maryam who has been deprived of her mother’s love by trigger happy Indians. We want to ask these so-called democrats and champions of human rights that for what crime they snatched the lives of innocent Maisera and Asif Iqbal,” he said.

Malik said today butchery is being celebrated and blood of humans is being treated as the cheapest commodity, but civilized humans especially leaders keep tightlipped to safeguard their trade and economic interests. “This apathy and double standard of the international community visa vise the poor nations like Kashmir is actually making this world more dangerous and unsafe place to live on and we appeal to international community to shun its negative attitude towards fellow humans,” they added.
While paying tributes to martyr Noor Muhammad Tantray of Tral who embraced martyrdom yesterday, Malik said that blood of martyrs will never go waste and Kashmir will always remain indebted to these great souls.
