ISLAMABAD, (MILLAT ONLINE/APP): The Chairman of his Hurriyet forum
has said that inhumanity demonstrated by the Indian forces has
become the order of the day in Kashmir as youth are being targeted
and killed with each passing day in the territory.
Mirwaiz Umar Farooq who is under house arrest for more than
a month, in a statement in Srinagar said, “Cold blooded murder of
Sajjad Hussain Sheikh at Batamaloo in Srinagar is a heinous
crime,” Kashmir Media Service reported.
The Mirwaiz said that youth were subjected to torture,
harassment and humiliation as various shocking videos being
circulated on the internet.
“Tying people to jeeps parading them through villages and
using them as human shields, coercing young college students and
beating them till they bleed while forcing them to chant certain
slogans shows open endorsement rather pursuance of the policy of
revenge and punishment by the Indian state against a people
demanding their basic political right,” he added.
India needs to understand that repeated atrocities,
repression and highhandedness have outlived effectiveness as an
instrument of taming Kashmiris, he added.
Mirwaiz Umar Farooq extended his sympathy with the bereaved
family of Sajjad.
