Mainstream and separatist leaders in Kashmir Saturday expressed outrage over the killing of seven civilians in south Kashmir’s Pulwama district, with the Joint Resistance Leadership (JRL) calling for a three-day shutdown in the Valley and National Conference vice president Omar Abdullah terming the deaths a “massacre”.
“7 dead. There is no explanation for this excessive use of force, none what so ever. This is a massacre & that’s the only way to describe it,” Omar tweeted.
