Hurriyat chief Mirwaiz Umar Farooq condemned the targeting of Kashmiris following the Pahalgam terror attack, warning that such actions deepen the divide between the people and the State. He highlighted that despite widespread condemnation of the attack, Kashmiris face collective punishment, including mass detentions and demolitions. Mirwaiz cited the deaths of Altaf Lali and Ghulam Rasool Magrey, allegedly in custody, and called for investigations. He also criticized the deportation of residents like Abdul Waheed Bhat, whose death during deportation underscored the human cost of such measures. Mirwaiz urged the government to seek genuine peace by engaging with the people rather than resorting to intimidation and repression. (PC: Siasat)
