Condemning this spree of arrests, nocturnal raids and summons, JKLF said that “to make a bogus operation named as municipal and panchayat elections, rulers and their supporters in Kashmir have unleashed a reign of terror.”
He said that “despite oppressive measures, manipulations and other undemocratic acts rulers and their supporters have failed to lure people of Kashmir and a complete boycott of these farce elections should serve as an eye opener for them.”
Meanwhile, JKLF has paid tributes to slain Mushtaq Ahmad Khan of Batamaloo on his anniversary today.
Terming Mushtaq Khan as ‘a gallant son of soil’, JKLF spokesman said that “martyrs like Mushtaq Shaheed are our real heroes and this nation is indebted to their struggle and sacrifices.
