Srinagar: Hurriyat Conference (M) has strongly denounced the heavy deployment of forces in various parts of Kashmir and the subsequent Search and Frisking Operation and putting entire population to harassment under the garb of special powers.
A Hurriyat (M) spokesperson in a statement issued to GNS said that at Hajin, Sonawari, the number of forces personnel has been doubled while as dozens of new bunkers have been constructed in the area after which local population is feeling highly insecure. He said that local people are also feeling terrified because of the nocturnal raids.
The spokesperson termed the increased footprints of forces in Hajin as highly condemnable.
He also condemned the continuous imposition of curfew in south Kashmir’s Anantnag where normal life of people has come to a standstill due to strict curfew. He castigated the move of forces wherein they have allegedly vandalized properties of people in Bijbehara under the garb of search operations.
The spokesperson termed the sudden crackdown in the commercial hub Lal Chowk and Batamaloo as a fresh ploy to instill fear among the masses and the trader fraternity.
“The unabated human rights violation in every nook and corner of Kashmir stands as an eye-opener for the international community and it is high time for the world bodies to take serious note of rights abuses in the Valley,” he said. (GNS)
