Srinagar, November 19, 2021 (PPI-OT):In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, complete shutdown is being observed, today, against the killing of four civilians by Indian troops in a fake encounter in Srinagar this week. Call for the strike has been given by the illegally detained All Parties Hurriyat Conference Chairman, Masarrat Aalam Butt, and the Hurriyat forum led by Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and supported by almost all Hurriyat leaders and organizations and High Court Bar Association.

Shops and business establishments are closed and the vehicular movement on the roads is very thin. Masarrat Alam Butt in a message from New Delhi’s Tihar Jail appealed to people of IIOJK to organise mass funeral prayers in absentia for the four civilians martyred by the troops in a fake encounter in Hyderpora area of Srinagar and hold peaceful protest rallies against the brutal killings after Juma prayers, today. He also asked the people to conduct marches towards the houses of the martyrs Altaf Ahmad Butt and Dr Mudasir Gull in Srinagar and Amir Ahmad in Banihal area of Ramban district in Jammu region.

The APHC Chairman, strongly condemning the extra-judicial killing of the civilians, said that the troops in a dastardly and brazen act of violence killed the innocent civilians in cold blood in Srinagar. He said, the Modi-led fascist regime has let loose the reign of terror for the last several years, especially after August 05, 2019 and has given a free hand to the 1,000,000 Indian troops to kill the Kashmiris.

Masarrat Aalam Butt demanded an immediate probe by the International Criminal Court into the Hyderpora gruesome civilians killing by Indian troops. He appealed to the UN and the world rights organisations to take cognizance of the civilian killings and the worst war crimes committed by Indian troops in IIOJK.
