Hurriyat Denounces Indiscriminate Use Of Pellets, Bullets

SRINAGAR —The Hurriyat (M) Tuesday strongly denounced the use of bullets and pellets on youth in Kashmir.

In a statement, it criticised the use of bullets and protest­ers at Nadigam, Shopian, today where more than 20 youth in­cluding three girls sustained grave injuries in the action by the forces. The spokesman termed the use of force as “bar­baric”, stating that the forces “enjoy full impunity and they feel proud while using bullets and pellets on unarmed pro­testers.” The Hurriyat Confer­ence has urged upon the “world community to rise to the oc­casion and take strong note of the ever rising graph of human rights violations in Kashmir.”

The separatist organisation also strongly condemned the killing of resistance leader and Anantnag district presi­dent of Tehreek-e-Hurriyat Mir Hafizullah by unidentified gunmen. Hurriyat (M) spokes­man said that the slain leader had “ brought to fore through media, repeated threats and intimidations to him on phone and suspicious movement of unknown people around his house soon after his release from prison after two years last month.”

“In past also, many resis­tance leaders were killed by the anti-movement people. But their aim at intimidating leadership or to force them to give up on their principles and ideology failed and will never succeed. These elements will face nothing but defeat as they can’t stop the momentum of the people’s ongoing struggle on all fronts,” he said.

He said that the slain resis­tance leader deserves trib­ute for “his steadfastness and commitment towards the movement having spent years in prison and facing immense difficulties.”

“He continued to be as a true solider of the Kashmir move­ment till his last breath.”

The spokesman strongly condemned the arrest of JKLF chief Muhammad Yasin Ma­lik and termed it as “highly undemocratic and arbitrary” and against principles of hu­manity. He said by arresting Malik those claiming to hold elections in the name of de­mocracy “stand completely exposed.”

He paid tributes to four armed youth who were killed in Nadigam area of Shopian in­cluding Inamul Haq, Abid Na­zir, Mehrajduin and Basharat Ahmed and sated that their sacrifices will not go in vain.

The spokesman said that history is witness that “no na­tion can be suppressed by use of military might.”
