People in J&K silenced, feel suffocated: Mirwaiz
The Hindu
The situation is getting more and more repressive with each passing day
Hurriyat chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq on Saturday said people in Jammu and Kashmir, especially the youth, feel suffocated and such a situation has serious consequences.
“The situation in J&K is simmering. It’s getting more and more repressive with each passing day. Extreme laws are introduced to curb people’s freedom and intimidate them into silence through fear of retribution,” the Mirwaiz, who remains under house arrest since August 5, 2019, said in a statement.
Referring to the dismissal of six government employees by the L-G administration recently, the Mirwaiz said, “Sudden dismissals of employees without any investigation or being given a chance to be heard is part of this repressive policy.”
