Srinagar: On the eve of
International Women’s Day, separatist women groups including ‘Kashmir Tehreek
Khawteen’ and ‘Muslim Khawateen Markaz’ organized protest rallies in Srinagar on
Saturday. Police foiled one of the
march and arrested Yasmeen Raja along with her associates.
According to CNS,
KTK activists led by Zamrooda Habib assembled at Press Enclave Srinagar and
demanded whereabouts of those disappeared persons whose mothers and sisters are
living a miserable life.
Zamrooda Habib
told reporters that, “A day will come when each day will be a women's day free
from the oppression of India and its crime in Kashmir. We will fight ,resist,
protest and will stand against all odds until victory, untill freedom of
Kashmir.” She said that the day will come when a mother will not burry her son,
a wife will not wail over the funeral of her husband, a sister will not lose
her brother. No women will be half widow, we will live with justice, honour,
peace and dignity,” she said.
Another protest
was led by Yasmeen Raja under the banner of MKM which was foiled by police.
Scores of women protesters demanding stern action against the former Health
Minister Shabir Khan allegedly involved in molestation case and the rapists of
Kunanposh Pora victims marched from Clock Tower Srinagar and as they reached
outside Press Enclave, police stopped them and arrested Yasmeen Raja along with
her associates. (CNS)
