SrinagarJoint Resistance Leadership (JRL) Thursday denounced the unabated attacks on womenfolk saying such attacks were not acceptable and may force them to call for mass agitation.
Attacks on our mothers, sisters and daughters are not acceptable to us and if these attacks do not stop immediately, we will have no choice but to launch peoples protest against it.
Calling for peaceful protests on 20th October 2017, after Friday prayers, against these continuing attacks on Kashmiri women, JRL said that growing attacks on women and ugly acts of braid chopping are a direct attack on our dignity and no Kashmiri will tolerate these attacks anymore.
JRL said that Kashmiri mothers, sisters and daughters are under attack from some hidden enemy. We as a nation are living in an unrelenting horror and worry but so-called rulers, their police and other agencies remain absolutely naïve about it. The rulers are busy riding scooties and arranging music concerts and their forces and agencies are calling this menace as mere frenzy, they said.
Hundreds of our sisters have been left shaken by unidentified assailants and police and forces who take no time to identify even masked protesters and take no time in finding the hidden faces behind every happening and are punctual while crushing the peaceful political activities till now claim no breakthrough. This ignorance is actually proving that entire matter is doubtful and situation extremely startling, they said.
Emphasizing on the need of unity to fight this menace, JRL leaders said that while dealing this threat, we should enhance our society based vigil and deal with nobility. Joint leadership appealed people to hold peaceful protests tomorrow on Friday, 20th October 2017, after Friday prayers against these growing attacks on women and raise their voices against the hidden assailants.
