Srinagar
Strongly condemning the use of force and teargas shelling by the forces on the protesting students in Srinagar and Pulwama as completely inhuman and un-democratic, a spokesperson of Hurriyat (m) has said that the students were protesting against the “atrocities committed and arrest of their fellow students” and were demanding their release.
In a statement issued here, he said, the use of “violence and suppressing” their genuine demands by “brutal force” is against all democratic values and established norms of a civilized society.
The spokesman said that “suppressing and muzzling” any voice of dissent by the government has become a norm in Kashmir.
“Jammu and Kashmir has practically been converted into a police state and it is actually the Army and government forces which run the roost in Kashmir. Any amount of brutality or coercion, however, can’t make the people of Kashmir to give up their just struggle,” the statement concluded.
