The Delhi Police striking a protester on the head with a lathi amounts to attempted murder,
It is condemnable and strict action must be taken against the guilty police personnel.
This is not crowd management, it is a brutal assault.
.@MirwaizKashmir Expresses Anguish Over Mass Detentions and Home Demolitions in Kashmir*
Calls for Probe Into Policeman’s Killing Amid Government Claims That Militancy Has Ended
Welcomes Bail to Khurram Parvez and Irfan Mehraj
Voices Concern Over Pellet Injuries to Delhi Students, Says Force Cannot Resolve Grievances in Delhi or Kashmir
Srinagar, July 24, 2026: Mirwaiz-e-Kashmir Dr. Moulvi Mohammad Umar Farooq, addressing the Friday congregation at the historic Jama Masjid Srinagar, expressed serious concern and anguish over large-scale detentions, questioning and harassment of youth across Kashmir during the past few days, with over two thousand young men being picked up on allegations of being “over-ground workers” or OGWs.
Referring to these measures following the killing of a policeman by suspected militants, after the Govt’s claim that militancy has ended, Mirwaiz said that taking of every human life is wrong and unacceptable, but an act of violence by one cannot justify collective punishment for all. The killing should be investigated and those responsible be dealt with according to law. But innocent youth and their families should not be made scapegoats and made to suffer. Reports of home demolitions of suspected militants, rendering their families homeless, is another extrajudicial and unjust measure. Such measures deepen resentment and are ultimately counterproductive.
Welcoming the release on bail of Kashmiri human rights activist Khurram Parvez and journalist Irfan Mehraj after years of incarceration Mirwaiz hoped that restrictions preventing their return to Kashmir would be reconsidered so they can soon reunite with their families at home in Srinagar.
He expressed hope for relief to other Kashmiri prisoners, including those who have secured bail but continue to remain incarcerated after being implicated in other cases, as well as those whose bail applications remain pending.
Referring to the student protests in New Delhi, Mirwaiz said that young people raising their genuine concerns should be heard and engaged with, not subjected to policing and force. Mirwaiz said reports of pellet injuries among protesters are a painful reminder of the devastating consequences of pellets guns suffered by hundreds of Kashmiri’s over the decades — scarring their eyes and lives forever. “it is sad to see students in Delhi facing it now . Use of force cannot resolve grievances or issues whether in Delhi or Kashmir; dialogue, accountability and engagement are the only way for resolutions ,” he said.
“A 12-year-old girl, Insha, who had 300 pellets hit her face, was operated on in Kashmir for meningitis, after which we did her eye surgery in Mumbai,” Dr. Natarajan recalled. |SMHS Hospital documented 777 cases of pellet injury victims from Jun- Nov 2016|

Delhi's Lieutenant Governor has invoked powers under India's National Security Act that allow police to hold people in administrative detention without procedural guarantees, including the right to be informed of the grounds of detention and the possibility to challenge is before judicial authorities.
This move is deeply concerning. We urge the Delhi Police not to invoke the NSA against peaceful protesters.

One gunman killed a Kashmiri policeman. So the state has detained 2,500+ Kashmiris.
We are watching 2,500+ young men picked up in 24 hours under a phrase, "detained for questioning", that appears in no statute and carries no safeguard.
And in the night, two homes were blown up.
One of them had been demolished last year, rebuilt, and lived in for barely a few months.
The Supreme Court has held punitive demolition without due process unconstitutional.

Critics, including political leaders and human rights organisations, say the mass arrests, house raids and demolitions amount to collective punishment of civilians

🇹🇷 A rapist got 20 years but was freed after 20 months due to amnesty. The victim found a gun, shot him dead in the street. At trial, the judge asked why.
She replied: “He raped **me**, not the state. Who gave you the right to pardon him without asking me?”
