Senior Kashmiri Hurriyat leader, Syed Ali Gilani on Sunday called for peaceful protests against the brutal act of Indian police of killing a student of 6th class, in Baramulla. Syed Ali Gilani, in a statement issued in occupied Srinagar, termed the killing a barbaric act and expressed solidarity with the bereaved family.
He said, ``In all civilised societies, police provides protection and security of life and property to civilians but in occupied Kashmir, it does just the opposite.' Syed Ali Gilani, who is under house arrest, said that Kashmir has been turned into a police state where the constitutional and democratic rights of people are being violated with impunity. "Men in uniform are used to muzzle every voice raised against the occupation authorities,' he said, adding that the people would be forced to take recourse to other means if police continued to suppress their democratic rights.
Meanwhile, Hurriyat leaders Yasmeen Raja, Farida Behanji, Jamaat-i-Islami of occupied Kashmir, High Court Bar Association, Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front-R, Jammu and Kashmir Muslim League and Jammu and Kashmir Peoples Freedom League in their separate statements, strongly condemned the killing in Baramulla.
In their statements, they appealed to international community and world human rights organisations to take notice of massive human rights violations in the occupied territory. They urged them to put pressure on India to resolve the Kashmir dispute in accordance with Kashmiris aspirations, in order to bring permanent peace in the region.
