On Joint Resistance Leadership call, Jammu and Kashmir Liberation (JKLF) leaders and activists on Friday staged a peaceful protest against killings in Kashmir.
The spokesman said thousands of people offered funeral prayers in absentia for recently killed Kashmiris in various parts of Kashmir. After the funeral prayers, a peaceful protest rally was held in which people from all walks of life including JKLF members participated with passion.
Raising slogans in favour of freedom and against innocent killings, Protesters marched towards Lal Chowk and staged a sit-in near Budshah Chowk. This Sit-in was addressed by JKLF vice chairman Advocate Bashir Ahmad Butt and others.
Condemning the ongoing killings in Kashmir, JKLF leader said that these killings and other measures can never deter the nation of Kashmir from treading the path of resistance and freedom. He said that a nation that has resolved to achieve freedom and is rendering valuable sacrifices for the righteous cause cannot be intimidated by killings, a spree of arrests, jails and other measures.
While condemning the continued imprisonment of JKLF chairman Muhammad Yasin Malik, Noor Muhammad Kalwal and others, house detention of ailing leader and Hurriyat (G) chairman Syed Ali Shah Geelani and Hurriyat (M) chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq , the spokesman said that a ban has been put on mourning’s and condolences which is highly regrettable.
