Hurriyat Conference (M) chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq on Sunday claimed that the army killed a “poor” taxi driver from north Kashmir’s Kupwara district in “cold blood”, a charge denied by the army.
In a tweet, Mirwaiz said that the “poor taxi driver was killed by the army while taking an ailing patient to a hospital.”
“Asif Iqbal a poor taxi driver from Kupwara killed in Cold Blood by Army while taking an Ailing patient to hospital & then labelled as a case of “mistaken identity” by the killers! How long will R (our) blood be spilled mercilessly with impunity? we r (are) not even allowed to protest such barbarism!” he tweeted.
