India’s NIA arrests two Kashmiri youth
Srinagar: India’s National Investigation Agency (NIA) arrested two Kashmiri youth in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
According to Kashmir Media Service, the youth, identified as Zameer Ahmad and Tufail Ahmad, were arrested by the Indian agency during house raids in Srinagar and Ganderbal areas. The NIA alleged that the youth are involved in the Delhi Red Fort bomb blast conspiracy.
In its statement, the agency claimed that the duo had supplied weapons to the main accused in the Delhi blast case. The NIA further alleged that the two were active overground workers.
However, locals have rejected the allegations saying that the youth are ordinary citizens while Indian agencies use such stereotypical tactics to justify the arrest of Kashmiri youth in fabricated cases. They said that such tactics are also used by India to create fear among Kashmiri people and weaken their commitment to the struggle for right to self-determination.
