ISLAMABAD, May 21 (APP): Hurriyet forum Chairman, Mirwaiz
Umar Farooq has said that the Indian government is planning to
ban Hurriyet Conference.
Mirwaiz Umar Farooq in a media interview said that the
campaign to malign Hurriyet and the ongoing movement in Kashmir by
Indian media is part of the strategy, KMS reported.
“Government of India is hell-bent upon maligning the image
of Hurriyet leadership and for the purpose the services of print
and electronic media and other organizations have been hired.
India is chalking out a plan to ban Hurriyet and that was why
Indian media is spewing venom against pro-freedom leadership,” he
said.
The ongoing struggle in Kashmir is a people’s movement and
Hurriyet represents their aspirations and sentiments, he added.
Expressing gratitude to people and Hurriyet leadership
particularly Syed Ali Gilani and late Abdul Ghani Lone for
supporting and encouraging him, Mirwaiz reviving the memories of
the past said that he was just 16 years old when old Srinagar city
roads were painted red on May 21, 1990 after the assassination of
his father.
Paying rich tributes to Molvi Mohammad Farooq and Abdul
Ghani Lone, Mirwiaz said Lone was a towering personality who
renounced Indian politics and vehemently supported freedom
struggle. “Abdul Gani Lone laid his life for this sacred cause,”
he said and added that May 21 is a reminder to people of Kashmir
that leadership has also made great sacrifices for this oppressed
people.
