The joint resistance leadership has called for a state-wide shutdown on Sunday and Monday (May 28, 29) to protest the use of “unbridled force” on unarmed civilians after the killing of Sabzar Bhat and his aide in Tral village.
The leadership, including Syed Ali Geelani, Mirwaiz Umer Farooq and Yasin Malik, has also called for a march to Tral on May 30 to pay tributes to Bhat and seven other militants killed in separate encounters on Saturday.
“The leadership has appealed to the people to participate in hundreds of thousands in the programme to pay best tribute to the slain militants,” said a statement, issued here today.
