He further stated that ” the entire team of NGO Awami Welfare Forum stands by her and will raise our voice against the culprits.”

Chairperson of the Forum Sheikh Zainab Mohi-ud-din speaking to the media said, “The Culprit must get hanged so no other person will even think of doing such an illegal act, I strongly condemn this act and we are appealing to the LG Manoj Sinha to hang the culprits in order to provide justice to the victim.” She further said that if the culprits won’t get hanged our entire NGO team will sit on a hunger strike, hence it’s our appeal to hang the culprits so that no other act like this can take place in the future.

Suhail Mir expressed deep anguish over the recent acid attack on a girl in Srinagar

Social Media Coordinator of North Kashmir Jammu & Kashmir Peoples Conference (NKJ&KPC) Suhail Mir expressed deep anguish over the recent acid attack on a girl in Srinagar. 

Mir remarked, “acid attacks are “uncivilised and heartless crimes”, the perpetrators of which do not deserve any clemency. The perpetrators of this crime should be dealt with the stringent provisions of the law, they deserve capital punishment under Section 326A which sentences the perpetrator to minimum 10 Years imprisonment or Life Imprisonment”. 

“Only the victim knows what she is going through and she has a life to live hereafter.  Acts like these bring shame to a civilized society and the perpetrators of such crimes deserve no mercy at all,” added Suhail Mir.
