Srinagar, Sep 29: Anti-Israel protests continued for the second day on Sunday in several areas of Kashmir against the killing of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in Lebanon.<\/p>\n
A large number of men, women and children — carrying black flags — poured out on roads in Magam in Budgam and Zadibal in the city to protest against the killing, officials said.<\/p>\n
They said the protestors were chanting anti-Israel and anti-US slogans, denouncing Nasrallah’s killing in Israeli airstrikes on Saturday.<\/p>\n
The protests were by and large peaceful even as a large posse of police personnel maintained vigil to ensure that the demonstrations did not turn violent, the officials said.<\/p>\n
Several leaders have condemned the killing even as Lok Sabha member from Srinagar Aga Ruhullah and PDP president Mehbooba Mufti suspended their election campaigns.<\/p>\n
“Cancelling my campaign tomorrow in solidarity with the martyrs of Lebanon & Gaza especially Hassan Nasarullah. We stand with the people of Palestine & Lebanon in this hour of immense grief & exemplary resistance,” Mufti posted on X.<\/p>\n
Apni Party president Altaf Bukhari also condemned the killings in Lebanon.<\/p>\n
“Israel’s ongoing airstrikes on Lebanon are causing heavy casualties and massive destruction. Innocent civilians are suffering the most from this violence.<\/p>\n
“The lack of any effective response from the international community is alarming, and the silence of world leaders worsens the situation. I stand in solidarity with the victims and pay tribute to Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and other martyrs killed in these aggressive airstrikes,” Bukhari posted on X.<\/p>\n
Protests were held in several parts of Srinagar on Saturday as well. Long traffic jams were reported from several parts of the city, including the Khanyar-Hazratbal axis, where most of the protests took place.\u2013(PTI)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
