ISLAMABAD: Indian troops, in their fresh act of state terrorism, martyred one youth in Poonch district in occupied Kashmir, on Monday.According to Kashmir Media service, troops during siege and search operations killed the youth at Mendher in the district. On the other hand, an Indian trooper assaulted and critically injured a civilian, Manzoor Ahmad Khan at Beerwah in Budgam while an Indian policeman thrashed Irshad Ahmad Dar, a driver of mini-bus, near Lazbal in Islamabad without any provocation. Meanwhile, a complete shutdown is being observed in Islamabad and Pulwama districts of south Kashmir in protest against the visit of the General Secretary of Indian Congress, Rahul Gandhi. "This protest strike is not against the Gandhi but against the party which he represents. Former Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru had promised to the people of Kashmir that they would be given right of self-determination. The promise is yet to be fulfilled. So it is a message for the India's Congress party that Kashmiris will fight against its anti-Kashmir policies," senior Kashmiri Hurriyet leader, Syed Ali Gilani said.
