Islamabad's military support sought for 'freedom movement' in held Kashmir
2018-03-07
[DAWN] A large number of Kashmiri men, women and kiddies paraded through the main boulevard of Muzaffarabad on Tuesday, calling upon Islamabad to extend military support to an ongoing struggle in held Kashmire against Indian rule.

The rally was organised by the Pasban-e-Hurriyat Jammu Kashmire (PHJK), an organization comprising post-1990 migrants colonists from India-held Kashmire, to condemn the killing of six youth by Indian troops in held Kashmire on Sunday.

At least four people had been rubbed out by the Indian army in Shopian over the weekend during an alleged exchange of gunfire with a suspected bad boy.

On Monday two more bodies were found, raising the toll to six and triggering widespread protests across the occupied territory.

"The oppressed people of occupied Jammu and Kashmire need and seek Pakistain’s military support against India," read a banner carried by women at the rally. Alongside them, men carried another, which asked: "Why is the international community silent over the killing of six youth in Shopian?"

"For the last seven decades, Kashmiris have been calling upon the United Nations
...an organization conceived in the belief that we're just one big happy world, with the sort of results you'd expect from such nonsense...
and the international community to resolve their issue and to let them live a peaceful life, but to no avail," said Uzair Ahmed Ghazali, organiser of the event.

He said the Shopian killings "were the latest example of the fact that Indian troops could kill anyone anywhere in held Kashmire with impunity."
