India using Kashmiri women as tool to suppress liberation struggle

Gilani, Nayeem arrested, shifted to undisclosed places

In occupied Kashmir, the APHC Chairman, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq has appealed to the international community to take cognisance of the fact that India is continuously using Kashmiri women as a weapon to suppress the ongoing struggle for right to self-determination.

Mirwaiz Umar Farooq was addressing an extraordinary meeting of the APHC at his residence in Srinagar, today. He urged India to repeal black laws, withdraw its troops and take steps towards resolving the Kashmir dispute to ensure peace and stability in South Asia. The meeting was attended by Professor Abdul Ghani Butt, Agha Syed Hassan Al-Moosvi, Fazl Haq Qureshi, Nayeem Ahmed Khan and Mukhtar Ahmed Waza. Immediately after the meeting, Indian police personnel took Nayeem Ahmed Khan into custody and shifted him to an unknown destination.

On the other hand, the occupation authorities arrested several Hurriyet leaders including Syed Ali Gilani, Muhammad Ashraf Sehrai, Farida Behanji and Mushtaq-ul-Islam from their residences, this morning, shifting them to undisclosed destinations. The APHC Chairman, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, Mohammad Yasin Malik, Mian Abdul Qayoom and other Hurriyet leaders continued to remain under house arrest.

Meanwhile, complete shutdown continued for the seventh consecutive day, today, all across the Kashmir Valley against the molestation and subsequent murder of two women by the troops in Shopian. Forensic Science Laboratory report into the incident issued, today, revealed that the two women were raped before being murdered.

At least 20 people were feared dead as a vehicle, they were travelling in, fell into Chinab River at Karara in Doda. Three Indian troopers including a Junior Commissioned Officer were killed and three others injured in different road accidents in Ramban and Poonch areas.

Addressing a gathering of university teachers and students at Qum in Iran, Kashmiri intellectual, Shaikh Tajammul-ul-Islam urged Iran and other Muslim countries to take notice of the miserable plight of the Muslims in India and of state terrorism in occupied Kashmir.

Hum Pakistani hain, Pakistan hamara hai


Its still going on, people are still coming from all over the valley to show solidarity , slogans of azadi, "Hamari mandi Rawlpandi" and many more reverberating the whole of Srinagar. I just spoke to my journalist friend who was near the UNO office said, doctors, Advocates, businessmen , students , Ngo's all made this UNO office Chalo a success.

Mirwaiz Umar in his speech demanded that people should be granted the right to self determination, In a mammoth gathering Umar said that all the draconian laws should be repealed He said all this amid people roaring with pro-azadi slogans. Meanwhile what is pertinent to mention here is that while Syed Ali Shah Geelani was asking the audience who is their real leader, the other Hurriyat leaders could be seen whispering to each other. Geelani said, ""Do you have faith in my leadership? I will be faithful to you till my death and will carry everyone along, “We are Pakistanis and Pakistan is us because we are tied with the country through Islam," he roared, as the crowd cheered him and chanted: "Hum Pakistani hain, Pakistan hamara hai" (We are Pakistanis, Pakistan is ours).

Boycott Fake Kashmir Election

In occupied Kashmir, the fourth phase of Indian parliamentary elections, today, was marked with a complete protest strike, anti-India demonstrations and an overall people’s boycott of the polls. The polling remained abysmally low and the polling booths gave a deserted look. In many localities of Srinagar city, the polling was below than one percent and at many places Indian troops forcibly herded people towards polling booths.

Fake casting of votes by the occupation authorities was also noticed.

People took to the streets in protest against the holding of elections in Lal Chowk, Chanapora, Qamarwari, Nattipora, Barzalla, Zaindar Mohallah, Fateh Kadal, Batamaloo and Aarigam. Pro Freedom, Pro Pakistan and anti-election slogans were raised on the occasion. Dozens of people were injured when Indian terrorists army and police personnel resorted to massive tear gas shelling to disperse the protesting youth. Clashes between the protestors and the Indian police personnel were witnessed at Zenakot till last reports came in. Unidentified youth hurled a petrol bomb at a polling station in Lal Bazaar. A special police officer was killed in an attack in Neeldhok in Rajouri.

The occupation authorities had placed Hurriyet leaders including the APHC Chairman, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, Syed Ali Gilani and Agha Syed Hassan Al-Moosvi under house arrest. Thousands of policemen and paramilitary troopers wearing bulletproof jackets and carrying assault rifles were seen marching the deserted streets of Srinagar. The troops had erected the barricades and laid concertina wires to foil anti-election protests.

The APHC Chairman, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq talking to the KMS on telephone said that the indifference shown by the people towards the election drama should serve as an eye opener to India that should come forward in a serious manner to resolve the Kashmir dispute, once and for all.
