ISLAMABAD, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News -25th Augst,2016) : One more innocent youth was killed in unprovoked firing by Indian troops on peaceful protesters in Pulwama district, Indian occupied Kashmir. The youth identified as Amir Gul Mir succumbed to his injuries after he was hit by pellets and teargas shells at Prichoo in the district, KMS reported.
Around forty other people were injured in violent actions of Indian police and troops against the protesters. The killing of Amir Gul Mir has raised the toll in the ongoing Intifada to 84 since July 8, when Indian troops killed the top commander of Hizbul Mujahideen, Burhan Wani in Kukernag area of Islamabad district. Panic gripped Batamaloo area of Srinagar after Indian troops resorted to firing at Batamaloo Bus Stand and beat up the people who went out to buy milk, vegetables and other essential commodities.
A big anti-India rally was held at Bugam in Chadoora, which was addressed among others by Sikh liberation leader, Narinder Singh Khalisa. The Chairman of All Parties Hurriyet Conference, Syed Ali Gilani, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and Muhammad Yasin Malik while giving a joint call of Azadi March on Friday have appealed people to march massively towards Eidgah in Srinagar. On the other hand, Hurriyet leaders, civil society members and traders have refused to meet the Indian Home Minister, Rajnath Singh, who arrived in Srinagar amid strict curfew all across the Kashmir Valley.
The Chairman of Hurriyet forum, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, and other Hurriyet leaders had already made it clear that any proposed talks on Jammu and Kashmir should involve all stakeholders including Pakistan.
