Mirwaiz visits SMHS to inquire about health of students injured in Pulwama blast

Srinagar: Hurriyat Conference (M) chairman, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq on Thursday visited the SMHS hospital to inquire about the health of dozens of students who were injured in an explosion inside a school in South Kashmir’s Pulwama district on Wednesday.
Mirwaiz met the injured students and inquired about the treatment being provided to them besides praying to Almighty for their speedy inquiry.
He strongly condemned the thrashing and brutal assault on Kashmiri students studying in a University at Chattisgrah state of India in which four students were injured , stating that Kashmiri students studying in various colleges and universities of Indian states are constantly being targeted and beaten by hate mongers which is highly condemnable.
Mirwaiz said that not only students but Kashmiri businessmen and traders stationed in various places in India are also targeted and harassed forcing many to flee. He said no action is ever taken against these anti-Kashmir elements.
Mirwaiz said that the vicious propaganda against Kashmiri’s projected by certain sections of electronic media and the distorted image of Kashmir and the discourse around its dispute has made the lives of Kashmiri staying in various Indian states all the more vulnerable to attacks by goons. “It was the utmost responsibility of the heads of various Indian states where Kashmiri students, businessmen are stationed to ensure their safety and security,” he said.
Meanwhile, on the directions of Mirwaiz, a delegation led by Sufi Mushtaq Ahmed visited the Bone and Joints hospital Barzulla to inquire about the students who were injured in the Pulwama explosion. The delegation prayed for the speedy recovery of injured.
