Indian troops martyr Kashmiri youth in Pulwama

SRINAGAR (KMS) – In Occupied Kashmir, Indian troops in their fresh act of state terrorism martyred one Kashmiri youth in Pulwama district on Wednesday. According to the Kashmir Media Service, the troops martyred the youth during a cordon and search operation in Sharshali area of the district. Meanwhile, Jammu and Kashmir Youth Social Forum (JKYSF) Chairman Umar Aadil Dar has strongly condemned the cold-blooded murder of a 14-year-old handicapped boy by Indian troops in Handwara. Hazim Ahmed Butt was martyred by Central Reserve Police Force at Wangam Crossing in Handwara on Sunday evening. Umar Aadil Dar, in a statement issued in Srinagar, deplored that the Indian forces’ personnel were not even sparing mentally and physically challenged persons. This, he said, reflects the mental and moral bankruptcy of the occupational forces. He said that the Indian troops were taking undue advantage of draconian laws like the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA). Umar Aadil Dar also expressed solidarity with the family members of the martyred boy.
