‘Time up for Army to vacate’
Srinagar: “Killing of a minor and critically injuring two minors of the same family near Drung area of Tossamaidan by littered explosive is a the worst example of brutality and barbarism,” Tosamaidan Bachao Front said in a statement issued to KNS.
The statement added: “Army has been given a license to kill and is on a mission of killing spree especially youth in order to sustain their illegal occupation of Tossamaidan. They are continuing bloodbath in Tossamaidan to suppress the sentiment and they have crossed all the possible patience we could stand with.”
He added: “Tossamaidan Bachave Front has no other option but to initiate an uprising against illegal occupation of Tossamaidan if the lease cancellation order is not issued. Government had an excuse of code of conduct because of which they did not issue the order of lease cancellation but today we warn them to issue it in black and white before 25 May to avoid agitation which will snowball into a major controversy.”
The statement said: “We appeal the government to appoint special team to dispose of military waste and unexploded shells in Tossamaidan and the areas falling in the immediate vicinity of Tossamaidan. Finally we appeal the people of Kashmir to condemn the killing of a minor in strongest terms and support our movement till we achieve our goal.” (
