ISLAMABAD, (APP): Hurriyet forum led by Mirwaiz Umar
Farooq has hailed the resilience and sacrifices offered by people
of occupied Kashmir during the last two months and asked them to
exhibit unity and be cautious of conspiracies against the ongoing
movement.
The forum spokesman in a statement issued in Held Srinagar said,
“The ongoing mass uprising has entered third month with peoples’
demand for right to self-determination getting shriller by the day
as children, youth and elderly people, men and women, all are
hitting the streets to attract the attention of the international
community and demanding resolution of the Kashmir dispute,” KMS
reported.
He said that the arrogant ruling regime through its military
might had unleashed tyranny and torture on people and resistance
leadership to crush their resistance movement, writing yet another
black chapter of blood in Kashmir’s history of freedom struggle.
“How unfortunate was it that during the past three days, two
more youth were killed mercilessly and over 750 civilians injured
in the indiscriminate firing by the forces while 100 persons were
arrested and more than 1,000 residential houses damaged across the
Kashmir Valley displaying the barbaric face of the authorities,”
he said.
Meanwhile, All Parties Hurriyet Conference leader,
Nayeem Ahmad Khan, in a statement issued in Held Srinagar condemned the
maiming of thousands of unarmed protesters, saying, “The men in
uniform have been given clear instructions to use brute force to
silence the peace-loving Kashmiris and crush their democratic
movement”.
He said that the people of Kashmir had exhibited utmost
discipline during the last more than two months of mass uprising
and they wanted a permanent resolution of the Kashmir dispute so
that the people of the region could live a peaceful and dignified
life.
