SRINAGAR, Jul 10: Joint resistance leadership (JRL) has called shutdown for tomorrow against civilian killings.
It was also called for a march towards and Mazar-e-Shuhada (Naqshband Sahib RA) on July 13 to commemorate martyrs of July 13 1931.
JRL has called for a state-wide shutdown on Wednesday to protest the use of “unbridled force” on unarmed civilians in Shopian after the killing of militants.
The resistance leaders including Syed Ali Geelani, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and Mohammad Yasin Malik have called for a march to Mazar-e-Shuhada Naqshband Sahib in Srinagar on July 13 to pay tributes to all martyrs and other civilians killed in separate incidents by forces.
Leadership along with people and party workers will march towards Mazar-e-Shuhada after Friday prayers on July 13 to offer joint Fateh Khawnee to all those killed, a statement added.
Paying tributes to Ubaid Manzoor Lone (Nadihal Baramula) Tamseel Ahmad (Shopian) and those recently killed including Andleeb Ali, Shakir Ahmad Khandey, Irshad Ahmad and Tamseel of Shopian encounter, the JRL expressed deep concern over these killings and blamed Indian authorities and their forces for it. It added, “their approach is snatching our young and budding souls.”
JRL while referring to Sonawari Hajin gruesome incident ,wherein an innocent lady was brutally stabbed to death by some criminals, said under the very noose and in presence of heavy contingents of army personnel the culprits barged into the house and after killing a woman, he fled away unnoticed with belongings from the scene.
JRL accused the authorities of reviving Ikhwaan renegade forces and said that the commitment and resolve of the people with ongoing freedom movement has frustrated authorities and as such they are resorting to such underhand and mysterious tactics to force people and resistance camp into submission, they added.
Appealing people to foil any attempt aimed at creating misgivings and disunity among various sections and religious sects of society, JRL cautioned about the conspiracies being hatched by fanatical and communal sections.
Resistance leadership said since the human rights violation report was made public by UNHRC, the Indian authorities feel unnerved and as such feel desperate to tarnish the bond of unity among various sections of society in occupied J&K.
JRL stressed people to maintain harmony among different sections in state and blamed authorities and their agencies, saying they are targeting various sections, particularly Sikh community and added “we will never allow these miscreants to play with sentiments of different communities living in state.”
JRL expressed deep concern over the unabated arrests and detention of civilians, youth, leadership and political activists across the state and added that reports pouring in reveal that people from Hyderpora, Srinagar, Kulgam, Islamabad and other places were arrested during night raids.
Meanwhile, spokesman strongly condemned the continuous detention of Syed Ali Geelani, Mohammad Yasin Malik, Mohammad Ashraf Sehrai, Umer Adil Dar and other activists.
