SRINAGAR: Mirwaiz-e-Kashmir Dr. Moulvi Mohammad Umar Farooqsaid he was again put under house arrest on Tuesday and prevented from attending an event organised by the youth of downtown Srinagar at Eidgah.
In a post on X, he expressed regret that the opportunity to engage with the youth was obstructed.
Meanwhile, referring to a story published by Al Jazeera, Mirwaiz said a disturbing write-up in a leading international news network reports an upcoming Bollywood film referring to the use of pellet guns in Kashmir as a means of “limited damage” and mocking the suffering of pellet victims.
“For thousands of victims living and suffering the consequences of pellets lodged in their eyes and limbs, this is akin to rubbing salt in their wounds. These victims, mostly young, need empathy, care, and justice, not propaganda. The filmmakers should reconsider such insensitivity and desist from releasing the film in its present form,” he said.
