ALIGARH Students of the Aligarh Muslim University held a candle light peace march to protest against the recent killing of seven civilians in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pulwama district.
The students, led by leaders of the AMU Students Union, Wednesday evening wore black bands and carried placards which said ‘Kashmir is Bleeding’, ‘No More Hate’ and ‘Respect Human Rights’.
The seven civilians were killed in south Kashmir’s Pulwama district on December 15 when state forces opened fire at protesters near the encounter site in which three militants and an Army man were killed, police had said.
The students began their march from the Maulana Azad Library which culminated at the Baab-e-Syed gate.
Later, president of the AMU Students Union Salman Imtiaz handed over a memorandum to the district authorities, addressed to the President of India, stating that it is now imperative that the situation in the Kashmir Valley should be urgently prevented from deteriorating further.
