Mehbooba deplores collective punishment

Srinagar July 20: The president of the Peoples Democratic Party, Mehbooba Mufti, on Tuesday said the people of Kashmir were being collectively punished in the worst draconian manner for raising voice against injustice.
 “Unabated and repressive crackdown on civilian population is degenerating into a severe blot on the humanity,” Mehbooba said in a statement. 
 Denouncing the brazen targeting of youth by police and paramilitary troopers Mehbooba said the incidents of Varmul that resulted in the death of newly married Fayaz Ahmed Khanday and 10 year old Faizan Ahmed Buhroo are not only grave tragedies for the families but also an index of the mercilessness with which an entire population is being treated.
 She said while like the other bereaved of current turmoil nothing can console families of Fayaz and Faizan they add to the black spots of a completely discredited and remote controlled system.
 Mehbooba said for the second running month Kashmir is virtually imprisoned and people are suffering unprecedented miseries and nobody seems concerned about the grave crisis.
