Srinagar, September 19, 2010: Indian forces in their fresh act of state terrorism, martyred four more innocent Kashmiri youth, today, at Panar in Bandipore area of Occupied State of Jammu & Kashmir (OSJK). The troops shot dead the youth in a vindictive operation after the killing of a trooper in the area.
On the other hand, four more Kashmiri youth, who were injured in the firing of Indian police and troops during the recent anti-India demonstrations at different places, succumbed to their injuries in various hospitals.
The occupation authorities continued to impose curfew and other restrictions in Srinagar and other major towns for the eighth successive day, today. Indian forces beat up journalists at Kaka Sarai and Press Enclave in Srinagar who were performing their professional duties.
On the other hand, the Chairman of APHC Syed Ali Gilani has appealed the people to hold demonstrations at their respective district and tehsil headquarters on Tuesday, September 21.
Syed Ali Gilani had asked Kashmiris to stage protests outside Indian army camps in their areas as a part of "Quit Kashmir Movement ". In a statement issued in Srinagar, Syed Ali Gilani said that the change in the protest programme was made due to the apprehensions that Indian agents were trying to sabotage the protests and dub the ongoing agitation as violent movement.
He urged India to accept Jammu and Kashmir as a disputed territory before initiating dialogue process to settle the lingering dispute. Gilani said that India’s intransigent stance on Kashmir was the main hurdle to resolve the longstanding dispute Ruling out his meeting with the Indian delegation headed by Home Minister, P. Chidambaram, he deplored that on one hand, India talked about dialogue, while on the other, its troops were killing innocent Kashmiris. He called upon the people to place banners and placards calling for demilitarization of the occupied territory during the visit of Indian delegation.
Syed Ali Gilani regretted that Indian troops were indiscriminately spraying bullets on unarmed and peaceful demonstrators in the territory.
Four other youths, who were injured in the firing of Indian police and troops during the recent anti-India demonstrations at different places, succumbed to their injuries in various hospitals, taking the death toll since June 11 to 114. The martyred included Bilal Ahmed Najar of Islamabad, Shabir Ahmed Dar of Chakoora, Pulwama, Muhammad Amin Ganai of Tappar, Pattan and Ali Mohammad Waza of Palhalan, Pattan.
The occupation authorities continued to impose curfew and other restrictions in Srinagar and other major towns for the eighth successive day, today. Indian troops beat up staff members of local dailies at Kaka Sarai in Srinagar, injuring one of them critically. The injured was admitted in Bones and Joint Hospital at Barzulla.
The shortage of life- saving drugs due to continued curfew and restrictions imposed by the authorities across OSJK is severely risking the lives of patients. Moin Mehraj at Al-Noor Medical shop in Soura Hospital, told mediamen that the retailers had exhausted about 90 percent of life-saving drugs because the stockists had not been able to distribute the drugs during the last six days due to restrictions.
Arshid Hussain Butt, an office bearer of Srinagar Chemists and Dealers Association, said that the dealers were not able to distribute the available stocks due to the strict restrictions imposed by the authorities. “The life-saving drugs do not last for long at the medical shops. We are helpless as we can not move out to supply the drugs,” he maintained.
Medical Superintendent of Soura Hospital, Dr Syed Amin Tabish, said that there was an acute shortage of essential drugs at medical shops due to the prevailing circumstances. “There are many patients who are suffering from gastroenteritis, acute infection, hypertension, diabetes and heart diseases who need drugs regularly. Some patients may succumb if they could not get the medication for a day,” he added.
The women organizations in India, Independent Women's Initiative for Justice and Saheli and women rights activists have strongly condemned the reinstatement of four Indian police officials involved in tampering evidence in Shopian **** and murder case. In a press statement, they maintained that the police right from the beginning tried to dismiss the **** and murder of the two Kashmiri women, whose badly bruised bodies were found in Rambiara Nallah in Shopian on May 30, 2009.
They said that the police refused to lodge First Information Report (FIR) and made all possible efforts to tamper with the evidence in the case. The statement was endorsed by Warisha Farasat, Lena Ganesh, Kalpana Mehta, Navsharan Singh, Narjees Nawab and Anand Chakravarti.
The statement termed the reinstatement of the officials as the mockery of justice system. “It goes against the very spirit of justice and fair play. It also highlights the impunity enjoyed by the men in uniform and their absolute patronization by the occupation authorities as well as by India,” it added.
Castigating the puppet administrations for not conducting an impartial enquiry into the incident, it demanded to bring all the four cops to justice without any further delay.
