New Delhi, Aug 31: Manushi-Citizens First Forum is holding a protest march on September 3 against the recent killings in Kashmir.
 In a statement, CFF said the participants would also present a memorandum to UPA Chairperson, Sonia Gandhi on the unprecedented crisis in J&K. A candlelight vigil with Sufi music by Madan Gopal Singh, Deepak Castelino and Youth Expressions from Kashmir, will be held at India Gate, in the memory of innocents who have lost their lives in the current unrest, it added. 
 “The Kashmiris are living out what may well be the worst nightmare in their history. In the last 75 days 64 youth have lost their lives to police and paramilitary CRPF bullets. Those killed or injured are not militants-just ordinary young men aspiring to live an ordinary life of dignity. All they have done to deserve the ferocity of the State’s coercive might is to protest against the killing of their innocent brethren and to express their rage for having to live under the shadow of the gun, under conditions of unending, relentless fear, security pickets, at every few yards, in every street and Mohalla, search operations, arbitrary arrests, crackdowns and deaths due to custodial violence,” the CCF said.
