SRINAGAR, Jan 03 (SABAH): Muhammad Rafiq Dar, the Chief Spokesperson of Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) has strongly condemned the brutal killing of six people that includes two children in a firing incident in Dangri village of Rajouri district, Jammu.

He emphasized that this uniqueness of social and religious brotherhood needs to be maintained at every cost.

According to the details, as a result of this terrorist act at Dangri in Rajouri six people including two children fell to the bullets and explosions while as near about a dozen others were injured. He said that the firing incident by unknown gunmen in presence of heavily deployed Indian army in the area close to the ceasefire line took place in the late hours of night before yesterday night.

In order to track down and punish the actual forces or culprits behind the act, the chief spokesperson of Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front demanded the international community, especially international human rights organizations, to investigate the tragic incident. He said that Dangri, like many other gruesome massacres, need to be investigated at international level so that justice is done, and so that the forces are exposed to the public.
