2016-08-26
[DUNYANEWS.TV] Another youth was killed on Wednesday by security forces armed with shotguns in India-held Kashmire which is reeling from weeks of deadly violence, police said.

The youth identified as Amir Gul Mir departed this vale of tears after he was hit by pellets and teargas shells at Prichoo in the district. Around forty other people were maimed in violent actions of Indian police and troops against the protesters. The killing of Amir Gul Mir has raised the toll in the ongoing Intifada to 84 since July 8, when Indian troops killed the top commander of Hizbul Mujahideen, Burhan Wani in Kukernag area of Islamabad district.

Panic gripped Batamaloo area of Srinagar after Indian troops resorted to firing at Batamaloo Bus Stand and beat up the people who went out to buy milk, vegetables and other essential commodities. A big anti-India rally was held at Bugam in Chadoora, which was addressed among others by Sikh liberation leader, Narinder Singh Khalisa.

It seems to have no interest in Pak Kashmir breaking away to join it. In 1994 Malik renounced violence after he was released from jail and from that point he and his organization pursued peaceful means to impose their will on the region...
