India’s approach in Kashmir undemocratic: JKLF

Srinagar: “Unleashing spree of arrests, nocturnal raids, imposition of curfew and restrictions, issuing intimidating statements to halt a peaceful people’s march towards Badami Bagh cantonment amounts to accepting defeat even before the start of the fight,” said Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) on Sunday.
A party spokesperson in a statement issued to GNS said that opening fire at unarmed civilians, killing and maiming them with impunity and putting a blanket ban on mourning and peaceful protests is a glaring display of India’s undemocratic approach in Kashmir.
“Killing unarmed civilians is no bravery but butchery and putting ban on peaceful political protests is no democracy but colonial dictatorship and the oppressors who are unleashing this reign of terror will surely face the law of retribution and will have to answer for their crimes against humanity,” the spokesperson said.
He said since Saturday evening, police have launched a “cleansing operation” throughout Kashmir Valley, Chenab and Pir Panjal areas.
