SRINAGAR: Indian troops in their fresh act of state terrorism martyred two Kashmiri youth in a fake encounter in Kulgam district in the occupied Kashmir (IIOJK) on Thursday.
According to the report, the youth were martyred by the Indian troops during the so-called cordon and search operation in Kajar area of Kulgam district of Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
Meanwhile, incarcerated senior leader of All Parties Hurriyat Conference, Shabbir Ahmad Shah, has deplored that the Kashmiris of every age and gender particularly youth are being mercilessly killed, tortured and humiliated by the Indian forces’ personnel in occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
In his message from New Delhi’s Tihar Jail, he said the occupation troops have intensified the spree of extra-judicial killing, arrest, torture, confiscation of properties and termination of government employees since 5 August 2019.
Earlier, Pakistan’s permanent representative to the United Nations (UN) Munir Akram on Tuesday described India’s occupation of Jammu and Kashmir as the “worst manifestation of modern-day colonialism”.
Speaking during the UN General Assembly’s Special Political and Decolonisation (Fourth) Committee meeting, Akram called on the world body to push for a peaceful settlement of the lingering Kashmir dispute in accordance with the UN Security Council resolutions and as per the aspirations of people of Kashmir. Noting that since 1946, 80 former colonies have gained independence, he said that there are still people who are denied the right to self-determination, “most prominently the people of occupied Jammu and Kashmir and Palestine.” –Agencies
