Srinagar: Terming the Shopian tragedy as a blot on the men in uniform, Jammu Kashmir National Front today paid rich and glowing tributes to Shaheeda Asyia and Shaheeda Neelofar, of Shopian. While remembering both the martyred young women, a National Front said that Asyia and Neelofar were brutally raped before martyred by the men in uniform on this day in 2009. The spokesperson said that later CBI was brought to shield the culprits and this Indian investigating agency did what it was brought for.
However, the spokesperson said that Asyia and Neelofar like victims from Kunnan Poshpora to Shopian will always be remembered as victims of Indian oppression, suppression and tyranny. The spokesperson stressed upon human rights groups and forums to take strong notice of using rape as war weapon in Kashmir by Indian forces and take such measures which can prove helpful in bringing the culprits to justice.
