India urges security forces to exercise restraint in Kashmir

“Talking about Kashmir’s accession with Pakistan is easy but nobody knows how it will happen”, the Daily Times said.

Hitting back at Pakistan Prime Minister, Swaraj on Saturday said the whole of India would like to tell the Nawaz Sharif that this dream will not be realised even at the end of eternity.

While condemning the recent spate of violence and oppression unleashed by the Indian forces in the occupied Kashmir, Turkey’s traditional support for the just cause of Kashmir has been strongly reaffirmed.

“Hurriyat congratulates and thanks those Kupwara people who refused to meet the murderers of their beloved kins”, the statement said, “the Kashmiris have now become sensitive nation and they are fully aware of these kinds of traps”.

Home Minister Rajnath Singh retorted to these comments on Sunday as he told Pakistan not to encourage people in Jammu and Kashmir to become terrorists.

The text in each of the photos is meant to describe the alleged atrocities which Kashmiris have faced in the protests that have rocked the Valley since 7 July when Hizbul Mujahideen commander Burhan Wani was killed by security forces.

“Let us not forget, as one Indian writer has reminded us, that not long ago the British labelled Indian freedom fighters as traitors and terrorists because at that time India was considered an integral part of the British Empire”, added Aziz. We will continue to remain firmly committed in our moral and political support to the Kashmiris’ indigenous movement for self-determination, regardless of the number of protests lodged by our belligerent neighbour, and appeal to the global community to step in and help end the long standing Kashmir dispute.

Academics and activists accused Facebook Friday of censoring posts about Indian-administered Kashmir as a curfew in the region extended into its 14th day following unrest that has left 48 protesters dead.

At least 56 civilians, mostly teens and young men, have been killed as Indian forces fired live ammunition and pellets at protesters. “Last week, India had asked Pakistan to ensure full safety and security of Indian officials and their families there in view of the threats of marches and protests at the High Commission after the observance of ‘Kashmir’s Accession to Pakistan Day” and “Black Day” last week.

Pakistan’s Foreign Office has also condemned the violence in Indian-held Kashmir and the extra-judicial killing of Wani.
