ISLAMABAD, (APP): One youth was martyred and over two
hundred others were injured in the brutal actions of Indian forces
on peaceful protesters across the Indian occupied Kashmir Valley.
A large number of people took to the streets in Srinagar,
Badgam, Ganderbal, Bandipore, Kupwara, Islamabad, Bijbehara,
Baramulla, Sopore, Palhallan, Pattan, Pulwama, Shopian, Kulgam and
other areas, yesterday, and held massive demonstrations against
the killing spree unleashed by Indian troops and police in the
Valley,reported Kashmir Media Service.
They shouted pro-freedom, pro-Pakistan and anti-India
slogans. They also waved Pakistani flags. Indian forces’ personnel
fired pellets, bullets and teargas shells to disperse the
protesters at various places injuring more than two hundred of
people, many of them critically.
A youth, Shakeel Ahmad Ganai, who was injured in Haal area
of Pulwama district succumbed to his injuries at district hospital
in Pulwama. The 19-year-old Shakeel Ahmad Ganai, a student of B.A,
was hit by a bullet in the chest.
With this killing, the death toll in the ongoing Kashmiri
Intifada has risen to 85. The Intifada was triggered by the extra-
judicial murder of the top commander of Hizbul Mujahideen, Burhan
Wani, by Indian troops on July 8, this year.
The angry protesters set ablaze effigies of the puppet Chief
Minister, Mehbooba Mufti in Srinagar and Pulwama areas to protest
against her remarks that only five percent people were supporting
the ongoing uprising in the territory.
