In occupied Kashmir, Indian forces have launched a Cordon and Search Operation (CASO) in Udhampur, Jammu.
The search operation was launched after the forces said they noticed some persons roaming in ‘suspicious’ conditions.
“The operation was called off later,” said the official.
The Vice Chairman of Jammu and Kashmir Employees Movement, Imtiaz Wani has expressed serious concern over the continued cordon and search operations, killings and arrest of youth by Indian troops in occupied Kashmir .
Imtiaz Wani in a statement issued in Islamabad said that India was hell-bent on suppressing the Kashmiris’ freedom movement through military might but is destined to fail.
He urged the world human rights bodies to take notice of the worst situation of occupied Kashmir when the entire world is facing coronavirus and the Indian government is creating an atmosphere of fear in the occupied territory. He said that Kashmiris would never tolerate the killing spree and atrocities and would continue protest against the undemocratic and inhuman acts.
He also paid glowing tributes to the youth recently martyred by the Indian troops in Shopian and reiterated to continue the freedom struggle till taking it to its logical conclusion.
He also denounced the continued illegal detention of Hurriyat leaders and activists including Syed Ali Gilani, Muhammad Yasin Malik, Shabbir Ahmad Shah, Aasiya Andrabi, Masarrat Aalam Butt, Gulzar Ahmed, Dr Ghulam Muhammad Butt, Dr Muhammad Shafi Shariyati, Dr Muhammad Qasim Fakhtoo, Altaf Ahmad Shah, Ayaz Muhammad Akbar.—KMS
