Several Kashmiri youths suffered pellet injuries in clashes with Indian security forces in Rahmoo area of Pulwama district of the occupied valley of Kashmir.
Two of the youths got serious injuries and were referred to SMHS Hospital in Srinagar, following the clashes which erupted as Indian forces didn’t allow locals to offer Friday prayers. Massive anti-India protests also took place in Rahmoo and Muran areas of Pulwama district against the killing of the youth by Indian troops.
People took to streets and staged a protest in Rahmoo.
They chanted high-pitched anti-India and pro-freedom slogans. Indian paramilitary and police personnel used brute force and fired pellets and teargas shells on protesters, triggering clashes.
Sudden spike has been witnessed in violent protest in different areas of the occupied valley after the martyrdom of Hizbul Mujahedeen Commander Reyaz Naikoo. Indian troops and police used brute force at different places on peaceful demonstrators protesting against the wanton killing of Kashmiri youth on Friday.
People took to the streets in Islamabad, Pulwama, Badgam and other areas and staged forceful anti-India demonstrations.
Indian police and troops fired pellets and teargas shells to disperse the protesters, triggering clashes between the demonstrators and the forces’ personnel. Several people were injured in the action. Indian forces fired teargas shells after a massive anti-India protest was held in Hassanpora Tawila area of Islamabad district.
People defied restrictions imposed by Indian troops during cordon-and-operation in the area and staged anti-India demonstrations, eyewitness told media men.
Call for the demonstrations was given by the All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC) to condemn the wanton killing of Kashmiri youth and to express solidarity with the families of the martyrs. Senior Hurriyat leader, Professor Abdul Ghani Butt, in a statement in Srinagar said Pakistan and India are two nuclear-armed countries of the south Asian region and tension between them can take an ugly turn. He maintained that Kashmir is the basic issue between the two countries and keeping it unresolved will not be the victory or defeat of any of the two neighbours.
The APHC leadership deplored that the massacre of Kashmiris continues as Indian troops are targeting innocent youth to suppress the ongoing Kashmir freedom movement. They strongly denounced the recent cold-blooded murder of an innocent youth, Merajuddin Shah, by the troops in Kawoosa Narbal area of Badgam district.
Indian troops in their unabated acts of state terrorism have martyred 11 Kashmiris in the ongoing month of May.
The occupational troops are continuing with their violent cordon-and-search operations in Srinagar, Badgam, Kangan, Islamabad, Shopian, Pulwama, Awantipora, Hajin, Kupwara, Handwara, Sopore, Baramulla, Rafiabad, Pattan, Doda, Kishtwar and other areas of the occupied territory.—INP
