In a first, Mehbooba, Mirwaiz call for J&K shutdown today | India News

SRINAGAR: PDP chief and ex-J&Ok CM Mehbooba Mufti and Hurriyat chief Mirwaiz Umar Farooq individually referred to as a “Kashmir bandh” Wednesday to protest the terrorist assault on vacationers in Pahalgam. This is the primary time Mehbooba and Mirwaiz have given a call for a bandh after a terror assault.
“This isn’t just an attack on a select few; it is an attack on all of us. We stand together in grief and outrage,” Mehbooba mentioned, urging individuals throughout the valley to take the cue from Jammu Chamber and Bar Association’s call for a shutdown.
“I appeal to all Kashmiris to unite in solidarity to support this bandh as a mark of respect for the innocent lives lost in the brutal assault in Pahalgam,” the PDP chief added.

Party member Yasir Reshi mentioned Kashmiris wanted to “send a message loud and clear that we stand united against this cowardly act of terror and our silence cannot be mistaken for acceptance”.
In a assertion, Mirwaiz mentioned: “Whoever kills an innocent soul…it is as if he had slain mankind entirely.” He mentioned the Islamic fraternity of Jammu and Kashmir, by way of Mutahida Majlis Ulema (MMU), “in support and solidarity with the bereaved families of those killed”, appeals to the individuals to peacefully protest this heinous crime by observing a shutdown.
