Srinagar: Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) chairman Yasin Malik on Thursday said that the cries of little Azra, daughter of slain Shopian woman, were “piercing our hearts and souls”.
Adressing a gathering after the visiting the family of the slain woman at Batmurran, Malik said that the international community should see the truth behind “Indian democracy in Jammu and Kashmir.”
“Killing innocents under the garb of encounters and putting properties to flames and even not sparing dumb cattle is uncovering the brutal face of Indian democracy in Kashmir,” he said.
“Cries of little Azra, daughter of martyred lady Ruby Jaan is piercing our hearts and soul.”
Malik, along with other leaders and activists of the outfit, visited the families of Ruby Jaan and slain militant Tanveer Ahmad and expressed solidarity with them.
A JKLF spokesperson said that Malik was told that Rubi Jaan was inside her house when government forces “fired at her and killed her in cold blood.”
“People told Yasin sahib that the house where she fell to the bullets of Indians is quite far from the encounter site,” he said.
“To cover this heinous crime, a story of her participating in a protest was cooked up by the killers and their abettors. Misra Bano of Younsa Handwara was also killed in same manner and she also has left a little daughter behind her,” Malik said.
“This is how Indian occupation is working in Kashmir and this is for what its trigger happy forces are deployed in Jammu Kashmir,” Malik said during his address.
“Indian forces have gone berserk in Kashmir and are killing humans with impunity but the international community which always champions the cause of human rights is maintaining a criminal silence on this and in fact abetting Indian aggression on innocent Kashmiris,” he said.
