Bandipora: Angered by the civilian killings in police and paramilitary CRPF [Central Reserve Police Force] firing in Valley, 97 yr old famous Sufi saint of Bandipora Peer Muhammad Afzal Fazili lead a protest rally in Gamroo village, here on Friday.
After completion of Friday prayers, hundreds of people including women and children took to roads at Gamroo village and staged a protest march. They were led by Peer Muhammad Afzal Fazili. The protestors chanted pro-freedom, pro-Islamic and anti-India slogans.
Addressing the processionists, Fazili stressed on people especially youth to follow Islamic principles in letter and spirit and fight oppression. He condemned the civilian killings by police and CRPF men and impressed on people to maintain discipline and stage peaceful protests.
After he left the place, people began marching towards Bandipora amidst chanting of pro-freedom slogans.

Youngmen in the procession retaliated by hurling stones towards them. The clashes continued for some time.
The locals alleged that police and CRPF men smashed glasspanes of several houses and parked vehicles.
People also took out a procession from Ward 2, 3 and 4 of Bandipora and attempted to assemble in Main Chowk Bandipora. However, they were dispersed by the policemen, who fired tear smoke canisters.
People also defied curfew as Sumbal, Safapora, Naid-khai, Hajin, Saderkoot, Kaloosa, Kunan, Argam and adjoining areas and staged pro-freedom demonstrations. They were demanding action against the police and CRPF men involved in recent killings.
After the clashes and protests, more cops were rushed to Bandipora and they strictly enforced the curfew and prevented people from venturing out of their houses.
