JRL calls for protests after Friday prayers against ban on JeI

Condemning the ban on Jama’at-e-Islamia Jammu and Kashmir, the joint resistance leadership (JRL) on Friday said New Delhi’s ‘repressive measures’ against Kashmiris have become the order of the day.

In a statement, the JRL comprising Syed Ali Geelani, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and Yasin Malik also called for peaceful protests across Kashmir after Friday prayers against the New Delhi’s “dictatorial measure”.

“The dictatorial and repressive measures against Kashmiris have become the order of the day in New Delhi’s doctrine of force against Kashmiris, punishing people for demanding the resolution of the Kashmir dispute in accordance with the democratic principle of ascertaining their will,” said the joint statement.
