ISLAMABAD, (APP): The Hurriyet forum led by Mirwaiz
Umar Farooq has urged the people to be cautious and vigilant at
this critical juncture when the desperate puppet administration
has detained most resistance leadership and activists and cut
their communication lines to detach them from the people.
The Hurriyet forum spokesman in a statement issued in
Srinagar said, “The puppet regime through its agents and stooges,
as it always has, will try every trick in the book to break
people’s resolve and weaken the ongoing movement,” KMS reported.
He urged the people to stay united and only follow the joint
programmes given by the resistance leaders, Syed Ali Gilani,
Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and Mohammad Yasin Malik.
“Mirwaiz Umar Farooq had time and again in his statements
and now in a message from the jail called upon the people to
adhere to the programmes given by the resistance leadership, and
stay united and by each other’s side,” the spokesman added.
He said that despite killings, curbs, restrictions, random
arrests, harassment and all other forms of oppression by the
forces in every nook and corner of the Valley, the valiant people
continued to protest and show their resistance to subjugation and
their determination towards their goal of self-determination.
Denouncing the arbitrary arrest of government employees for
supporting the movement the spokesman said, “Each and every
segment of the society is connected to the freedom struggle and
such vengeful tactics will not deter any of them from their
principled stand.”
He said that even after so-called lifting of curfew, Indian
forces were not allowing people to move out for emergencies and
continued to torture and harass them day and night.
