SRINAGAR: In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, Indian troops in their fresh act of state terrorism, martyred three Kashmiris in Pulwama district.
The troops killed two youth and injured two other civilians during a violent cordon and search operation in Pampore area of the district. One of the civilians, critically injured by Indian troops, succumbed to his injuries at SMHS hospital in Srinagar. The condition of other injured is reported to be stable.
Meanwhile former Chief Minister and the President of Peoples Democratic Party, Mehbooba Mufti has said that it seems like India is the world’s largest democracy only on paper now.
Mehbooba Mufti wrote on micro-blogging site twitter that her party members were detained during a peaceful protest against new land laws in the territory after they refused to sign a dictatorial affidavit that termed dissent as anti-India.Mehbooba asked, “In which democracy is the right to peacefully protest an anti-national activity”.
Pertinently, at least 19 PDP leaders had declined to sign a bond in front of Executive Magistrate in Srinagar, stating they haven’t done anything wrong and violated any law.
These leaders were arrested and booked for violating law when they had tried to take out a protesting march against new land laws introduced by the Modi led fascist Indian govt. The Executive Magistrate had directed police to release them after they signed a surety bond of Rs 10,000. Some of these leaders said that they didn’t sign any bond as a mark of protest.
