Independent Kashmir legislator and AIP chairman Er Rasheed on Tuesday staged a protest outside the legislative assembly to demand “right to self-determination for Kashmiris”.
Holding a banner with pictures of slain civilians Mysara Bano and Asif and pellet victims, Rasheed said that “right to self-determination was the only way out” for resolution of Kashmir issue.
Bano and Asif were killed in alleged army firing in Kupwara district in separate incidents last month. Rasheed had termed the killings as “cold-blooded murder”.
Rasheed staged the protest just ahead of the assembly session in Jammu today.
“If Kashmir is not an issue then what is Dineshwar Sharma doing in J&K. Why is India talking to separatists,” he asked.
