Srinagar: Hurriyat (M) spokesman termed the government’s statement that only three persons were injured by the use of pellet gun as a blue-blooded lie.

Hurriyat (M) spokesman said on February 9, 2015, three persons were injured by pellet guns and a student in Palhalan was critically injured.
He said on February 13, in Palhalan, another student was critically injured, who later had to be operated upon.

He said on September 4, two persons were critically injured in the eye at Nowhatta Srinagar.
Hurriyat (M) spokesman said APHC had facts and figures about the people injured by pellet guns and the puppet government’s statement in the so-called Jammu Kashmir Assembly was bereft of facts and meant to mislead the international community.
He said this was being done to hide the crimes committed by the troops and Police in Jammu Kashmir and to mislead the international human rights bodies that Kashmir was not witnessing any human rights violations. (KNS)
