SRINAGAR, Jan 10: Joint separatist leadership comprising of Syed Ali Geelani, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and Mohammad Yasin Malik today called for a complete shutdown on Saturday against the killing of a Khudwani youth on Tuesday.
In a statement, they said Kashmir has been turned into a killing field where the lives of men, women and children are not safe.
“The horrendous torment unleashed by security forces at Khudwani yesterday during which pellets, bullets and shells were showered on people injuring large number of people and killing one innocent can only be termed as state sponsored terrorism,” they said.
“A comprehensive protest strike will be observed against yesterday’s killings, ongoing genocide of Kashmiri youth and other oppressive measures on Saturday, January 13,” the separatist leadership said.
