Pulwama Attack: Kashmir regret every killing that happens on its soil: JRL

Srinagar, Feb 15 (Only Kashmir): Commenting on the incident at Lethpora Pulwama, Joint Resistance Leadership comprising Syed Ali Geelani, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and Mohammad Yasin Malik said that people and leadership of Kashmir regret every killing that happens on its soil. As we witness killing of our loved ones our young ,and shoulder their coffins each day we can feel and understand the pain and sense of loss that the family and friends of those who are killed go through , not for a day or two when everyone is expressing grief and condolences to them ,but the silent grief and loss that stays with them for a lifetime.
Pertinently, nearly 44 Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel were killed and many others injured when terrorists targeted a convoy with a car bomb at Awantipora in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pulwama district on Thursday.
JRL said that the delay in the resolution of the Kashmir dispute ,the denial to engage with the sentiments and aspirations of the people of J&K and instead the use of a muscular military approach to counter an essentially political and human problem, is wrecking havoc in Kashmir especially on our next generation and consuming them , while those who are here to execute this policy are also under stress and paying a price with their lives.
JRL said militarization CASOs use of bullets &pellets blowing up homes, blinding and maiming, PSAs and torture as a means to crush legitimate political aspirations of a people has not only failed but worsened the situation.
JRL said that if this death dance has to stop, if hatred and revenge has to stop, if killing and counter killings has to stop and if we really want peace in the region we have to put an end to hostilities. And the most effective and civilized manner to do so , is to reach out and engage and listen to the concerns of all three stakeholders and address them in the spirit of humanity and justice. Resolve the Kashmir dispute for all times.
