Kashmir bleeds

Indian atrocities in Indian-held Kashmir are rapidly gaining momentum. The Indian army declares freedom fighters terrorists and brutally kills them. A few days ago, Indian forces brutally killed Sabzar Ahmad and 12 other young Kashmiri freedom fighters. After these brutal killings a large number of citizens staged protests. The Indian army did not stop at this but continued its atrocities.

Pakistan has requested the international community to step in and stop bloodshed in the valley. India has crossed all limits of decency and humanity to keep its control over the disputed territory. India should realise that it has been playing with fire and it cannot stop the freedom movement through coercion. Citizens want freedom and will continue their struggle for the ultimate goal. Muslim countries should support the people of Kashmir in their struggle for freedom. The international community should also play its role to stop this genocide.
