SRINAGAR, Apr 12: The Joint Resistance Leadership (JRL) of Syed Ali Geelani, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and Mohammad Yasin Malik today called for peaceful Kashmir-wide protests after Friday congregational prayers against killing of civilians, indiscriminate use of pellets and vandalising of properties.
In a joint statement, they impressed all sections of society including teachers, lawyers, intellectuals, civil societies, traders, students, state employees for their participation against it.
Appealing international community for their cognizance of the “appalling state-sponsored terrorism”, the JRL impressed upon global hearers “the need to raise their voice and come to the rescue of subjugated people in Kashmir”.
Meanwhile Syed Ali Geelani, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq continue to be under house arrest and Mohammad Yasin Malik was arrested and lodged in central jail.
“The growing aggression against unarmed and peaceful people in the state has touched the alarm line and turned this beautiful place into a battlefield,” the statement by the joint resistance leadership said. “Under a well-thought-out plan, the Indian authorities, forces and their henchmen are carrying out genocide” they added.
Kashmir has been turned into a killing field where the lives of men, women and even children are not safe,” they said in a joint statement.
