Srinagar: Chairman International Forum for Justice and Human Rights Muhammad Ahsan Untoo strongly condemned the killing of Tehreek-e-Hurriyat district president for Shopian Hafizullah Mir by unidentified gunmen and urged United Jihad Council chief Syed Salahuddin and the government including police top brass to identify these unidentified gunmen.
Untoo said that the killings of Hurriyat activists are fraught with dangerous consequences and can lead to civil war in Kashmir.
In a statement issued here, he said Mir’s killing was not the first one and such killings have been taking place in Kashmir since long.
“Mir was recently released after serving two years in Jail under PSA. He has three daughters and a wife.
How can they survive and who will respond to their queries as to who killed their father and why he was killed,” Untoo said.
The chairman IFJHR said that there are two guns in Kashmir— one of the militants and another of the government forces. ”
So it’s high time that the UJC starts investigations as to who killed Mir. Similarly, let the government come up with facts who is behind Mir’s killing,” he said.
“Is that Mir was killed in a revenge for those killed by militants for being as informers,” he said. (GNS)
