'Not A Single Bullet Fired In Kashmir In 1 Month'

Asserting that the administration has successfully dealt with the law and order situation in Kashmir after the abrogation of Article 370 provisions, advisor to J-K governor Farooq Khan on Monday said that not a single bullet has been fired by security forces for over a month and slammed Pakistan for spreading lies. He stressed that all measures in Kashmir were aimed at safeguarding the lives of people and normalcy was slowly returning to the Valley.

“We have been successful in that (safeguarding lives). More than a month has now passed, but not even a single bullet has been fired by security forces and police to deal with the law and order situation. It is a big thing. It is the reality,” he said, adding they “will not be cowed down” by the Pakistani propaganda. His remarks came on a day United Nations Human Rights chief Michelle Bachelet expressed concern on the restrictions and asked India to ease the current lockdown. In her opening statement at the 42nd session of the Human Rights Council, she asked both India and Pakistan to ensure that the human rights of the Kashmiri people are respected and protected.
