JRL calls for shutdown
Srinagar: Joint Resistance Leadership (JRL) on Thursday called for a complete shutdown on Friday against the killing of a youth in Pattan area.
In a statement issued here, JRL said that even in the holy month of Ramadan, there is no letup in killings and bloodshed in Kashmir as civilians, armed youth or even Indian forces are getting killed.
“In one manner or other, Kashmiris continue to pay the price of the unresolved Kashmir issue as use of force against them continues unabated. Whether it is death of civilian Rayees Ahmed Dar of Pulwama killed during CASO or Arshad Ahmed Dar of Chanabal Pattan killed while protesting the most heinous crime of rape of a child or the killing of Nayeem Shah of Baderwah allegedly by a VDC members, Kashmiri’s continue to fall prey to the lingering issue and subsequent use of unbridled force,” JRL said.
To protest these unfortunate killings people will observe peaceful hartal on Friday (May 17), JRL said, adding that Imams and Khateebs in Friday sermons will also raise their voice against this bloodshed.
