ISLAMABAD, (APP): Hurriyet leaders including Aasiya
Andrabi and Nayeem Ahmad Khan, in occupied Kashmir, have said that
the visiting all-party Indian parliamentary delegation has got a
clear and unambiguous message from Kashmir that there would be no
talks until India accepts Kashmir as a disputed territory.
The leaders while reacting to Indian Home Minister Rajnath
Singh’s claim over Jammu and Kashmir and his anti-Hurriyet remarks
said that Kashmir was an internationally recognized dispute, and
Kashmiris were fighting to secure their right to self-determination, and not for sustaining the propaganda unleashed by Mr. Singh in the name of Kashmiriyat,Kashmir Media Service reporetd.
Aasiya Andrabi in a statement issued in Srinagar said, “The
people of Kashmir, its leadership, the employees, the patients,
the traders, and the civil society sent a clear and a unanimous
message to the delegation that there will be no talks until
disputed nature of Jammu and Kashmir is acknowledged by India.”
The people of Jammu Kashmir have shown to the world that there is
no difference of opinion or thought when it comes to opposing New
Delhi’s sinister policies in Kashmir, she added.
“Funny that world’s most oppressive regime is lecturing
Kashmiris about humanity,” she said and added that there was only
one voice that Kashmir had been illegally occupied by India for
the past 70 years. So acknowledging Kashmir as disputed territory
will be a first step towards resolving this dispute, she pointed
out.
