Indian State Terrorism in IIOJK: Six Youth Martyred by Indian Troops in Kulgam
July 8, 2024In a tragic continuation of state terrorism, Indian troops have martyred six Kashmiri youths in the Kulgam district of Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK). These incidents occurred during cordon and search operations in the Mudergham and Frisal Chinnigan areas of the district.
Four youth were killed by Indian troops in Chingam Frisal, while two more bodies were discovered on Sunday morning amidst the debris of a house in Mudergham, which had been destroyed using chemical substances by the troops. This brutal act highlights the severe measures employed by the Indian military in their ongoing operations.
The violence in Kulgam also saw casualties on the side of Indian forces. Two Indian troops were killed in separate attacks in the Mudergham and Frisal Chinnigan areas. Additionally, an Indian army man was injured in an attack on an Army camp in the Galuthi Manjakote area of Rajouri district, although the freedom fighters managed to escape into the nearby forest.
These massive operations are part of a broader crackdown and are continuing in different areas of Kulgam, Rajouri, Poonch, and Samba. The persistent violence and state-sanctioned aggression underscore the dire human rights situation in the region.
The martyrdom of these six youth adds to the long list of casualties in IIOJK, reflecting the ongoing and severe oppression faced by the Kashmiri people. The use of excessive force and chemical substances against civilians is a grave violation of human rights and international law. These actions have only deepened the resentment and resistance among the local population, who continue to fight for their right to self-determination.
The international community must take notice of these atrocities and push for a peaceful resolution to the Kashmir conflict. The cycle of violence and retribution only perpetuates suffering and instability in the region. It is crucial to address the root causes of the conflict and work towards a solution that respects the rights and aspirations of the Kashmiri people.
To conclude, the recent martyrdom of six Kashmiri youth by Indian troops in Kulgam is a stark reminder of the ongoing Indian state terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir. The use of brutal tactics and chemical substances against civilians by India highlights the urgent need for international intervention and a renewed effort to find a peaceful resolution to this long-standing conflict.
