Tear gas shell a lethal weapon
Srinagar: Condemning the killing of 22 year old boy on Saturday at Zainakote by security forces, Doctors Association Kashmir (DAK) termed this brutal act as cold blooded murder.
In a statement to KNS, President DAK Dr Nisar ul Hassan today while expressing distress over killing of youth said that security forced have crossed all lines of inhumanity.
The barbaric killing of this young engineering student makes it clear that young generation in Kashmir are wiped out in a well planned conspiracy.
Youth are being targeted and we are losing them like autumn leaves.
The future of a nation rests on the shoulders of these young ones but killing them makes our future bleak.
We cannot be mute spectators to this incessant bloodshed of our future generation. We have an obligation to raise our voice against this mad pattern of atrocities to do the least.
The use of tear gas canisters is lethal. They have blinded many of our brothers and sons and have taken the life of many sole bread earners, widowed many wives and orphaned many children.
The tear gas shells terribly maim and disrupt human life, turning the lives of injured into half lives.
The fallacy of no lethality of tear gas shells has become obvious and there is no justification of their use.
The use of tear gas shells on unarmed civilians is inhuman and violates the basic norms of human rights.
It is agonizingly painful that Kashmiris are not allowed to raise voice against the atrocities done on them.
Kashmir is caged where patients are not allowed to seek consultations in hospitals and even doctors are not allowed to go for their duties.
Protesting against any odd is a human instinct. People protest in one way or the other, which is allowed everywhere,  but here in Kashmir giving vent to our emotions costs our lives. (KNS)
