Taking to social networking site Twitter Hurriyat (M) chairman Mirwaiz wrote: “Bullets and pellets rain!As Govt of India has decided to kill Kashmiri’s through its #ArmedForces who control us, JRL and people will march towards Badami Bagh Army cantonment on Monday 17 Dec to ask GOI to kill all of us at one time rather than killing us daily.”
