ISLAMABAD, (MILLAT+APP): Joint resistance leadership
including Syed Ali Gilani, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and Mohammad Yasin
Malik has rejected the verdict of Indian Supreme Court saying that
Jammu and Kashmir was a separate, independent and sovereign entity
even before emergence of India on the world map.
According to Kashmir Media Service, Hurriyet leaders in a joint
statement issued in Srinagar said that dozens of UN resolutions on Kashmir were proofs of Jammu and Kashmir being a universally accepted dispute.
Senior Hurriyet leader Shabbir Ahmad Shah in his statement
said that verdict neither held any meaning nor could it change the
disputed status of the territory.
Meanwhile, the Chairman of Hurriyet forum, Mirwaiz Umar
Farooq while speaking to renowned Indian scholar Kamal Morarka and
journalist Santosh Bhartiya at his residence in Srinagar said that
people of Kashmir were not against any country, but they were
struggling for their right to self-determination.
He said that Kashmir was a longstanding dispute that was
holding the regional peace hostage for the past seven decades.
