Muhammad Ashraf Sehrai in a statement issued in Srinagar said because of the repressive policies of the Indian government, the fourth generation of Kashmiris has been pushed to the wall. The insensitivity of the Indian authorities is the sole reason for the unabated bloodshed in occupied Kashmir, he added.

He also paid tributes to senior journalist, Shujaat Bukhari, on his first death anniversary.

The Chairman of Jammu and Kashmir Employees Movement, Muhammad Shafi Lone, in a statement in Srinagar said that India was pursuing the policy of repression in occupied Kashmir and was using every brutal tactic to suppress the genuine voices of the people of the territory.
He appealed to the international human rights organizations to take cognizance of the Indian state terrorism in occupied Kashmir and put pressure on New Delhi to settle the Kashmir dispute in accordance with the Kashmiris’ aspirations.
