Joint Resistance leaders to lead rallies on July 13 to pay homage to martyrs
Reiterating the shutdown call on July 13, the Joint Resistance Leadership (JRL) on Tuesday said that a rally would be held at the martyrs’ graveyard in Naqshband Sahab after ‘Zuhr’ prayers.
“The day (July 13) will be commemorated as ‘Youm Tajdeed Ahad’ (renewal of pledge ),” said the JRL, in statement today.
“Syed Ali Geelani would lead a rally from Hyder Pora, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq from Jama Masjid Srinagar and Mohd Yasin Malik from Maisuma,” said the statement.
The leadership asked the Kashmiri diaspora world over to associate with the “Kashmir Awareness Campaign” and make efforts to take it forward.
JRL said that as part of the campaign a signature petition by the leadership on behalf of the people of Kashmir has been launched online as well.
“The campaign will continue and people are asked to join it by putting up posts highlighting the dispute, the situation on ground and their commitment with regard to the resolution of the dispute,” said the statement.
