SRINAGAR In occupied Kashmir, Jammu and Kashmi r Youth Social Fo rum Chairman, Umar Aadil Dar, and General Secretary, Asif Ahmed Baba, have paid glowing tributes to the martyrs of 2018 from South Kashmir.

On the martyrdom anniversaries of these youth, today, Umar Aadil Dar said, it was another bloodiest day when the people of Kashmir couldn’t stand anymore as silent spectators and came out without any fear to resist India’s illegal occupation. He termed such massacres as biggest human investment of Kashmiris’ ongoing liberation struggle that gave a new impetus and direction to their freedom movement. Asif Baba said such carnages remind the people of Kashmir of Indian brutal occupation and aggression. “We are indebted to these pious sacrifices and it’s our religious and moral duty to safeguard these exemplary sacrifices collectively,” he said.
