Srinagar: Tehreek-e-Hurriyat chairperson Muhammad Ashraf Sehrai on Monday termed the killings in southern Kashmir’s Kulgam district as “a brazen display of human genocide”.

In a statement, Sehrai while reiterating that no “power or repression” can break resolve of freedom loving Kashmiris, said that under a “well-planned conspiracy”, the forces in absence of any accountability, have decided to go for a full fledged war against people of Kashmir.

Sehrai who was placed under house arrest yesterday afternoon, said that the government forces have failed to suppress the Kashmiris and are now using inhuman and brazen tactics to suppress their resolve. However, the sacrifices rendered by the people won’t go waste, he said.

Paying tributes to the people killed in Kulgam, Sehrai said that people of Kashmir are associated with a great and sacred cause and the repressive measures won’t cow-down people or resistance leadership into submission.

“The martyrdom of youth have put a huge responsibility on our shoulders and it is our duty to honour these sacrifices and take the movement to its logical end.”
