In a press statement here today, Tarigami said three civilians, including a 14-year-old girl, have been killed in Kashmir during the last three-days. The unabated civilian killings in Kashmir must be a cause of concern for every right-thinking person in the state and the country. The killing of civilians in Kashmir is highly condemnable and it should stop immediately, he added.
Tarigami said in Kashmir, killings of teenagers are common. The reasons for these killings is often nothing more than `dirty politics’ involved in the conflict. It is heart-rending to learn about civilian killings, which have become norm of the day. The situation calls for immediate de-escalation from all sides.
While expressing heartfelt condolences with the families of the victims, the ex-MLA demanded an immediate end to the civilian killings in the Valley. ” Killings of civilians can never be solution to any problem. Whether a civilian is killed by the bullet from one side or the other, it is loss of precious human life. Whose cause’ is fulfilled by the killings of civilians ? Unfortunately, it is a Kashmiri who is getting killed every day,” Tarigami maintained.
