In a statement, EJAC has also paid rich tributes to those martyred by the Indian troops' indiscriminate firing in the recent peaceful agitation, KMS reported.
Meanwhile, Srinagar Municipal Employees Union President Haji Bashir Ahmad has described the blockade a manifestation of criminal thinking of the Jammu Hindu fascists. He said unexpected situation forced people onto the roads to register their protest in a peaceful manner, but they were met with brute force by the trigger-happy troops, which killed dozens of innocent people.
He said, "the puppet authorities gave free hand to rioters to suppress the Muslim community in Jammu, while Indian troops in Kashmir Valley showered bullets on the peaceful protesters." Meanwhile, thousands of people including women and children took to the streets at Thanamandi, Mendhar, Poonch and Rajouri to express solidarity with Kashmiris.
