The Indian police on Tuesday subjected a protest demonstration, organised by Jammu and Kashmir Muslim Khawateen Markaz, to brute force at Lal Chowk and arrested several women including APHC leader, Yasmeen Raja. The Indian police detained Yasmeen Raja in Kothibagh Police Station while other women were sent to different police stations.
The demonstration was held to remind the international community that the UN resolutions on Kashmir remained unimplemented for more than six decades now, KMS reported. It was on this day in 1949, that the United Nations adopted a resolution, giving Kashmiris the right to decide their future themselves. The Chairman of Jammu and Kashmir Democratic Political Movement, Firdous Ahmad Shah was placed under house at his residence in occupied Srinagar.
Meanwhile, the Chairman of All Parties Hurriyet Conference (APHC), Mirwaiz Umar Farooq strongly condemned the use of brute force by Indian police personnel on the peaceful demonstrators and termed it the worst kind of human rights violations. He said that the people of Kashmir were struggling to secure their right to self-determination but India was trying to suppress the ongoing movement through use of brute force, adding that India would not succeed in its nefarious designs.
