Srinagar, July 30: The Chairperson of Dukhtaran-e-Millat, Syeda Aasiya Andrabi has called for Kashmir Bandh on Saturday to protest against the killing of two persons and injuries to several others in firing by
 CRPF and police in Sopur, Pattan and Chanapora on Friday.
 In a statement Aasiya accused the Government of what she said “giving mandate to the troopers and police of commiting crime against humanity. Killings in Kashmir are being executed on the pattern of Israel".
 She said the killings were aimed at suppressing the aspirations of Kashmiris. ‘They can kill the bodies but not the aspirations. The martyrs graveyards across the Valley stands testimony to the resolve of Kashmiris to break the chains of bondage and achieve freedom.”
 Aasiya claimed that Muhammad Iqbal who was injured in CRPF firing at Chanapora had succumbed to his injuries. “Like in Muhammad Rafiq Bangroo’s case, the authorities are delaying the news of his death and have kept his body on ventilator to avoid protests.”
 Aasiya said had Kashmiris resented the Sheikh Abdullah-Indira Accord, “today the fathers won’t have to go through the unbearable pain of shouldering coffins of their sons.”
 She appealed the people to observe a complete shutdown on Saturday and stage demonstrations against the killings
