Indian troops martyr four more Kashmiri youth in occupied Kashmir
Srinagar: Indian troops in their fresh acts of state terrorism martyred four more Kashmiri youth in Pulwama and Shopian districts, today, bringing the toll of the martyred youth to 7 since yesterday in the territory.
According to details, two youth were killed by the troops during a cordon and search operation at Naibugh area of Pulwama, while two more youth were killed in Jan Mohalla area of Shopian. Earlier on Thursday, the troops martyred three youth in the Jan Mohalla area where the operation was stopped last night and resumed early today.
The violent military operations at both the places were going on till last reports came in.
India has been trying to quell resistance in IOK for decades and reportedly martyred more than 200 people last year.
India on August 05, 2019 in a unilateral move abrogated Articles 370 and 35A granting special status to occupied Kashmir. The move was followed by imposition of curfew and communication blackout in the valley still intact.
On October 31, 2019 India formally divided the state of Jammu and Kashmir in to two new federally-administered territories as per the constitutional changes approved by the Indian parliament on August 5.
According to the new arrangement, the occupied Kashmir is divided into two union territories: Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh, which borders China. The two new union territories are now ruled directly from the capital Delhi. As per Indian constitution, union territories have far less autonomy from the federal government than states do.
Pakistan has, ever since, been raising its voice against Indian atrocities and gross human rights violations in Kashmir. Prime Minister Imran Khan also, in his historic speech at UNGA session last year, also highlighted how India has illegally imposed curfew and lockdown in the valley. He also warned the world that the worst humanitarian crisis could unfold in Kashmir followed by a possibility of war between the two nuclear states.
Even the international media, on several occasions, has highlighted the deteriorating situation in Kashmir resulting from the persistent curfew and lockdown.
