ISLAMABAD, (APP): The Chairman of Hurriyet forum,
Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, has said that Indian state terrorism can
neither suppress the Kashmiris ongoing liberation struggle nor can
change the reality of the Kashmir dispute.
Mirwaiz Umar Farooq in an interview in Srinagar castigated
the occupation authorities for not allowing Juma prayers at Jamia
Masjid on third consecutive Friday.
He deplored that while all basic human rights of people of the
occupied territory were continuously under assault, they were not
even allowed to fulfill their religious obligation and hence the
infamous regime put even dictators to shame, KMS reported.
The Mirwaiz said that those executing such repression should
understand that it would not cow down the Kashmiri people or
change the basic reality of the Kashmir dispute which would
eventually had to be resolved as per the Kashmiris’ aspirations.
He said that the Kashmiri people would continue their struggle
despite such measures.
He said, the imposition of black laws has turned occupied
Kashmir into a police and military state where the writ of these
agencies runs and all human rights and liberties of the people get
trampled under their boots. He demanded revocation of all black
laws from the occupied territory.
The Mirwaiz also strongly condemned the use of excessive
force by Indian troops and police personnel against peaceful
protests across the Kashmir Valley and arbitrary arrests of
hundreds of youth in Srinagar and other districts during nocturnal
raids on their residences.
