ISLAMABAD, (APP): The Hurriyet forum led by Mirwaiz
Umar Farooq,in occupied Kashmir, has appreciated the people of the
territory for their passion of freedom.
The forum spokesman in a statement issued in Srinagar
questioned as to how long India could close its eyes to the
realities of the Kashmir dispute and subjugating the
Kashmiris,Kashmir Media Service reported.
He said that the use of excessive force and unleashing
brazen violence on the Kashmiri people would not help New Delhi in
any way. He maintained that these oppressive tactics would not be
able to break the will of the Kashmiris or force them to give up
their struggle for securing their inalienable right to self-
determination.
The spokesman said that the people of Kashmir were not
against the Indians to celebrate their freedom. However, he said,
at the same time, we want to remind that it was the Indian
leadership that had come to Kashmir and promised the Kashmiris
that they would be given the opportunity to decide their fate by
themselves through a plebiscite. However, the Indian leadership
not only reneged on their promise, the government of India started
brutally killings people just for demanding their basic right, he
deplored.
