Rawalakot [PoJK], July 27 (NVI): Pakistani forces caused bloodshed again in occupied Jammu and Kashmir today as they killed and injured countless people participating in protests against the farcical elections which were boycotted completely by the locals.
As locals took out rallies and staged demonstrations against the elections for the so-called Assembly of Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir, they were treated with bullets, teargas and batons at several places.
Rawalakot, which has been the epicenter of the agitation going on since last 7 weeks because of a massacre committed by the Pakistani forces on June 5, again suffered the extreme barbarity at the hands of the occupying military.
The Pakistani forces resorted to firing and teargas shelling at a number of places, leaving several people dead or injured.
The actual number of the dead and injured was not known as the Pakistani forces seized control of the hospitals where the wounded and killed people were taken.
The fresh brutalities by the Pakistani forces came on a day of elections which were totally boycotted by the locals.
A march to Muzaffarabad, the capital of POJK, is planned for tomorrow which is expected to be participated by lakhs of people under the banner of Joint Awami Action Committee (JAAC), a conglomerate of several non-political local organisations. (NVI)
