Indian troops martyr two more Kashmiri youth in IoK

ISLAMABAD: The Indian forces, in their continued state terrorism in Indian, Occupied Kashmir (IOK), martyred two more Kashmiri youths in the Bijbehara area on Friday.

As per reports, the youngsters were killed by troops during a cordon and search operation in the Bijbehara area of the district. The troops also launched a cordon and search operations in Shopian, Pulwama and Budgam districts.

Earlier, Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi had said that the Indian strategy of using force in the occupied Kashmir has totally failed. Qureshi had reiterated that the Kashmir dispute cannot be solved by the use of force.

The FM had said that India tried to use force to gag the voice of the Kashmiris through draconian laws and restrictions. There is no precedent of the atrocities that have been committed in IOK since August 5 last year and he made it clear that India cannot succeed in resolving the dispute by these atrocities.

Earlier, a report issued by the Research Section of Kashmir Media Service stated thousands of women are among the 95,507 Kashmiris martyred by Indian forces since 1989.

The report further revealed that more than eleven thousand women were raped, hundreds widowed while thousands lost their sons, husbands, fathers and brothers in custodial disappearance by Indian troops.

The report stated that thousands of school-going girls have been injured while many blinded by the pellets fired by Indian troops while many continue to face the psychological trauma of decades-long Indian brutalities.

Similarly, over a dozen women including Hurriyat leaders, Aasiya Andrabi, Fehmeeda Sofi, Naheeda Nasreen and Insha Tariq Shah face illegal detention inside Kashmiri jails.

The Kashmiris people urged the international community to take notice of atrocities. They said that seven decades had passed and the dispute of Kashmir remained unresolved, adding, ruthless killings, pellet injuries to children and infants, rapes and torture; Indian atrocities in Indian occupied Jammu and Kashmir continued unabated.
