Srinagar, Jan. 29 (TNS): In occupied Kashmir, a peaceful protest rally was taken out in Aabiguzar to Lal Chowk in Srinagar to condemn fresh spree of killings and frequent cordon and search operations by Indian forces in South and North Kashmir.
Call for the rally was given by the Joint Resistance Leadership comprising Syed Ali Gilani, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and Muhammad Yasin Malik.
In a joint statement, they said that India had turned Jammu and Kashmir into a slaughter house where people were subjected to brutalities without discrimination of age and gender.
Clashes erupted in Pulwama district after youth came out of their houses and staged massive protests against the killings in neighboring Shopian district. The troops used force and fired teargas shells on the protesters.
The shutdown continued in Shopian to mourn the killings.
