SRINAGAR, 26 December, 2020, (TON): In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), Indian troops in their fresh act of state terrorism martyred two Kashmiri youth in Shopian district, today.

According to Kashmir Media Service (KMS), the troops martyred the youth during a cordon and search operation in Kanigam area of the district. Earlier, two Indian troops were injured in an attack in the same area. The operation continued till the last reports came in.

Senior Hurriyat leader, Ghulam Muhammad Khan Sopori, in a statement issued in Srinagar paid glowing tributes to the martyred youth. He deplored that Indian troops were killing innocent Kashmiri youth on daily basis.

He added that India would not be able to prolong its illegal occupation of Jammu and Kashmir through its brutalities on the people of the territory.

Meanwhile, two Indian soldiers were killed and another was seriously injured after a barrack they were putting up collapsed at Machedi in Kathua district.

The Muslim majority population in the Kashmir Valley suffers from the repressive tactics of the security forces. Indian act of state terrorism appears to be the massive effort to alter demographic facts of the region.
