Calling off operation better option to save trapped minor boys: Sajad Lone

SRINAGAR: The killing of a minor militant in Srinagar gunfight has evoked sharp criticism from different quarters of society. Senior political leaders and People’s Conference Chairman Sajad Gani Lone has advised establishment to call off operations when any minor is trapped in a cordon and search operation.

Mudasir Rashid Parrey (14) and Sakib Bilal (17), the two minor militants from Lashkar-e-Taiba were killed in Mujhgund fierce gun battle. A Pakistan militant Ali Bahi was also killed in the same gun fight.

While reacting over the killing of a minor boy, Sajad Lone tweeted: “The killing of a fourteen year old is sad and scary. The administration should exhaust all non military options when a minor is involved. Calling off such an operation is a better option. And the involvement of minors in non state military activity merits thought from the society.”

Labeling a 14-yr-old as “Terrorist” is contemptuous and killing him even bigger abuse of Child Laws in India, to say the least.
Because at least kids deserve a chance to live.#KashmirNeedsDialogue#Kashmir#KashmirBleeds #Srinagar #MJH
