Srinagar: Senior All Parties Hurriyat Conference leader Mirwaiz Umar Farooq has strongly condemned the killing of a young Kashmiri in Ramban district, warning that the growing menace of cow vigilantism is now spreading to Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir.<\/p>\n

According to Kashmir Media Service, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq in a statement said that the poison of cow vigilantism has reached occupied Jammu and Kashmir, resulting in the death of 25-year-old Tanveer Ahmad Chopan, who was brutally chased and assaulted while ferrying a milch cow and two calves. He termed the incident highly condemnable and unacceptable, stressing that those responsible must be given exemplary punishment to nip this evil in the bud.<\/p>\n
