It said carnage at Gaw Kadal, Handwara and Kupwara remind us of Indian brutal occupation and oppression.
The people of Kashmir is indebted to martyrs who laid down their lives for freedom and resistance leadership pledges to continue this struggle till the achievement of the sacred goal, he added.
The JRL said united India during its struggle for freedom against British witnessed only one Jalianwala Bagh but the Kashmiri people have witnessed dozens of such massacres carried out by Indian forces from 1990 and this slaughter is still going on unabated.
