Srinagar, Jul 10 (KNS): Democratic Freedom Party (DFP) on Sunday expressed grief over the loss of 18 innocent lives by the hands of occupational forces and strongly condemned the brutal attitude of the state administration. He also appealed people to march towards Tral to pay tributes to and express solidarity with the families of martyrs.
In a statement issued to KNS, Shah said following the martyrdom of Shaheed Burhan and his associates, the Indian forces turned the whole valley particularly the south Kashmir into a slaughter house by firing indiscriminately on the innocent people.
Shah condemned the harassment of people, vandalising of public properties by forces, and arrest of pro-freedom leaders saying the innocent civilians were deliberately targeted by the occupational forces.
Holding the local rulers responsible for turning the whole valley into a slaughter house, Shah said these people have given a free hand to killer forces to shower bullets on civilians just to save their chair and are hell bent on repeating the 2008 and 2010.
Terming the people’s affection towards Shaheed Burhan as a referendum, Shah said this proved India’s stubbornness, negative propaganda against Kashmiris’ freedom movement, repressive policies against pro-freedom leadership couldn’t change the ground reality of Jammu Kashmir but every soul here demands Azadi from Indian occupation.Click Here To Follow Our WhatsApp Channel
In his message to youth, Shah said the need is to understand that those people who beg for votes are the same who supervise the innocent killings. He said the present situation of Kashmir has nothing to do with law and order situation but it is the issue of the future of 13 million people of the state which needs to be addressed; till then Kashmiris will continue their on-going freedom struggle.
Meanwhile, Shabir Ahmad Shah has appealed people to march towards Tral to pay tributes to and express solidarity with the families of martyrs. He expressed solidarity with the families whose dear ones were martyred during last few days saying we’re equally grieved over the loss of lives. He also prayed for speedy recovery of more than 200 injured persons and urged youth to be available for blood donation for the injured. (KNS)
