JKLF condemns Kashmir killings

In a statement issued from London, Head of the JKLF Diplomatic Committee Prof. Zafar Khan has said that recent incidents in Kashmir clearly show India’s intolerant behaviour towards Kashmiris genuine aspirations of a political settlement of Kashmir dispute. He said that indiscriminate firing on peaceful demonstrators will not make Kashmiris retract from their demand of free and fair plebiscite in Kashmir. He further said that such oppressive and cruel measures will not dampen the struggle for right to self determination and national dignity by the masses.

Zafar Khan said that the cases of molestation of Kashmiri women in occupied territory have increased considerably in recent times. He called upon the international community to ensure safety and dignity of people of Kashmir, especially in view of the attempted rape of Kashmiri women in Baramulla and subsequent brutal killing of two Kashmiri youth at the hands of India's occupation forces.
