Er. Rasheed said, “Using innocent unarmed civilians as human shields and beating Kashmiris in the worst miserable way, is not a new phenomenon in Kashmir but for the want of evidences Army would often negate the shameful incidents claiming it propaganda of antinational forces and Pakistani Agents.”
