Forceful anti-India demonstrations in IHK continue
Srinagar, September 10 (KMS): In occupied Kashmir, forceful anti-India demonstrations continued in Islamabad town for the fourth day, today, against the terror unleashed by Indian troops against innocent civilians.
Agitated people took to the streets shouting pro-liberation slogans. They told media men that the troops continue to raid the houses vandalise the household goods and beat up the inmates. A delegation of Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front led by Advocate Bashir Ahmad Butt visited the town and condemned the Indian state terrorism. Similar protest demonstrations were held at Hajjan. A fast speedy Indian army vehicle hit a minor girl in Palhallan, critically injuring her. The incident triggered anti-India protests in the area.
The All Parties Hurriyet Conference held a meeting of its Executive Council in Srinagar today, which was presided over by Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and was attended among others by Maulana Abbas Ansari, Professor Abdul Ghani Butt, Bilal Ghani Lone, Maulana Abdullah Tari, Agha Syed Hassan Al-Moosvi, Fazl Haq Qureshi and Mukhtar Ahmad Waza.
The APHC leaders said that though Srinagar Muzaffarbad road was as important to Kashmiris for the promotion of their trade and culture as a jugular vein to a human body but Hurriyet wanted to make it clear that its main objective was to ensure a final settlement of the Kashmir dispute. They pointed out that Kashmiris’ travel through Srinagar-Muzaffarabad road must be free of all restrictions. They also demanded the inclusion of Kashmiri leadership in the talks process between India and Pakistan.
Illegally detained APHC leader, Shabbir Ahmad Shah in a massage from Srinagar Central Jail congratulated Aasif Ali Zardari on his holding of office as the President of Pakistan. He hoped that the President would make every effort to bring about a just resolution of Kashmir dispute.
On the other hand, prominent human rights defenders, addressing a seminar in New Delhi, urged India to respect Kashmiris’ right to self-determination and realise that this was the only way forward for the resolution of the Kashmir issue. The speakers included Arundhati Roy, Prem Shankar Jha, Javeed Naqvi, Sanjay Kak, Rajinder Sachar, Gautam Navlakha and Syed Abdul Rahman Gilani.
In Geneva, the Executive Director of Kashmir Institute of International Relations, Sardar Amjad Yousuf addressing the 9th meeting of the United Nations Human Rights Council drew world attention towards state terrorism in occupied Kashmir and sought the role of international community to settle the Kashmir issue.
