kashmiri yoths outside state and inside state shows frustration of
India and Indian authorities. He said that lives of kashmiri people
are not safe inside the state neither outside the state. “Kashmir is
world’s highest militarized zone how can we assume that our lives are
safe in the state, our past and present is like a mirror in front of
us, our youths are being killed, jailed, our intelligentsia is being
targeted we know how many doctors, intelligent lawyers, scholars,
pro-freedom politicians we lost during past 23 years, our sisters were
raped and killed so our lives are not safe neither inside state nor
outside.” He said.
He said that raising killing incidents of kashmiris outside the state
has lashed a terror among the people of the valley whose wards are
getting education or are employed in Indian states. “everyone is
afraid because of these killings so Indian authorities if they can’t
safeguard the lives of kashmiris outside state should open others
options for them, like issuing passports to them so that they can get
education and employment in any corner of the world.”

movement of pro-freedom leaders in the sate waa said that its claims
of being democratic country prove to be a hoax in the state.
He appealed international community to play its role in bringing down
the human rights violations done by the Indian armed forces as well as
in resolving Kashmir issue as the aspirations of kashmiri people.

sectary, Advocate Mohd Ashraf who left this world yesterday. Waza
