Kashmiris to continue struggle till success

Srinagar In occupied Kashmir, senior leader of the All Parties Hurriyet Conference, Agha Syed Hassan Al-Moosvi Al-Safvi, has said that the Kashmiris have been offering unparalleled sacrifices for securing their right to self-determination and they will continue their struggle till the Kashmir dispute is resolved in accordance with their aspirations.

According to Kashmir Media Service, Agha Syed Hassan Al-Moosvi Al-Safvi addressing a meeting of the activists of his party, Jammu and Kashmir Anjuman Sharie Shian, in Badgam said that India was using repressive measures to suppress the Kashmiris’ liberation struggle but it would never succeed in its nefarious designs. He demanded release of all illegally detained Kashmiris before Eid-ul-Fitr so that they could celebrate this auspicious occasion with their families.

The APHC Chairman, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, addressing a gathering at Khanyar in Srinagar rejected the demand of a Jammu-based communal organisation, Panun Kashmir, for a separate homeland for Kashmiri Pandits.

He said that the APHC had made it clear that it would never accept the split of Jammu and Kashmir on religious or regional basis as it would foment a fire that would be impossible to douse. He said that the Pandits were inalienable part of the Kashmiri society and as such they should not pay heed to the propaganda of communal fanatics.

People staged massive demonstrations in Palhallan area of Baramulla against the arrest of a local Imam by Indian police. Raising high-pitched anti-India and pro-liberation slogans, they demanded his immediate release.

The police fired several teargas shells to disperse the protesters injuring at least three people. The authorities have deployed Indian police and troops in strength in the area to prevent further protests. People also staged a sit-in on Srinagar-Jammu Highway in Ramban area against the mysterious killing of a man, who was found dead in his house.

On the other hand, Indian troops in their fresh act of state terrorism martyred one more Kashmiri youth at Mooldari in Handwara area of Kupwara district during continued military operations. The troops have martyred fourteen youth in different areas of the district during last one week period.

Meanwhile, the Jammu and Kashmir Peoples League at a meeting presided over by its Chairman, Mukhtar Ahmed Waza, in Srinagar finalized the programmes for the observance of the martyrdom anniversary of senior APHC leader, Sheikh Abdul Aziz.

Sheikh Aziz was shot dead by Indian troops on 11th August, 2008, while he was leading a procession from Srinagar to the Line of Control against the economic blockade of the Valley by Hindu extremists of Jammu.
