Srinagar : Tehreek-ul-Mujahideen chief and United Jihad Council (UJC) General Secretary, Sheikh Jameel-ur-Rehman on Tuesday condemned the killing of a Lolab resident in Khanyar area of Srinagar, saying the killings of Islamic scholars and pro-resistance people won’t frighten Kashmiri people.
Abdul Ahad Ganie, a resident of Tewan Mohalla Lalpora Lolab Kupwara, was shot in the head while he was driving a car (DL3CAY 6352), in Khanyar area of the Srinagar city.
Reports said that Ganie, who was pursuing PhD from Aligarh Muslim University, was visiting his in-laws who reside in Khanyar.
In a statement to local news gathering agency CNS, Rehman said that this is not the first time that unknown gunmen have been blamed for killing of well-wishers of Kashmiri resistance. “These unknown gunmen are Indian forces and their agents who are carrying out massacre of Kashmiris in a planned manner,” he claimed, in the statement.
He said the “cruel” killings of Islamic scholars and pro-movement people would give impetus to Kashmir struggle. “India and its agents would have to pay for the innocent killings,” he warned.
Rehman said that the sun of freedom will rise at any cost in Kashmir.
