MUZAFFARABAD: Hundreds of people held a rally here on Sunday to pay homage to Kashmiri martyrs after 14 people were killed in India-held Kashmir earlier in the day.

Participants of the rally from Chehla Chowk to Neelum Fort, were holding banners and placards, inscribed with pro-freedom slogans as well as portraits of Manan Wani, Burhan Wani and other Kashmiri fighters who lost their lives at the hands of Indian forces.

“Kashmir ki azadi tak, jang rahegi, jang rahegi (the war will continue till the freedom of Kashmir),” they shouted.

The rally was organised by Hizbul Mujahideen, the largest and mainly indigenous of dozens of Kashmiri mujahideen groups.
