Eye injuries flood hospitals; Hurriyat leaders snub Modi

SRINAGAR: Patients some with severe eye trauma have overrun hospitals in the occupied Kashmir The New York Times quoting doctors reported Thursday after security forces used pellet guns to break up demonstrations.
Meanwhile, Hurriyat leaders Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, Syed Ali Shah Geelani and Yasin Malik were detained on Wednesday when they tried to march towards the Old City to pay tributes to the 1931 martyrs, who are equally revered by mainstream and separatist politicians.
In a joint statement, the Hurriyat leaders extended the shutdown call by two days and asked the Independent Kashmir “to join them in the protests.”
They welcomed United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon’s statement on held Kashmir.
“The U.N. should come forward and take solid steps to resolve the Kashmir issue,” the statement said.
Reacting to the Indian Prime Minister Modi’s meeting in Delhi, Hurriyat leaders said: “Kashmir is neither an issue of law and order nor an economic problem. It is an old political and human problem that needs to be addressed according to the aspirations of the people and the ground realities in Kashmir.”
With three more deaths on Wednesday and one on Thursday, the Kashmir Valley remained on the edge for the sixth consecutive day.
Life in held Kashmir was paralysed for the sixth consecutive day on Thursday due to curfew-like restrictions and separatist-sponsored strike in the wake of killing of Hizbul commander Burhan Wani and the ensuing deadly violence that has left 40 people dead.
