ISLAMABAD, Jun 11 (APP): Chairman of All Parties Hurriyat
Conference, Syed Ali Gilani has said that Indian National
Investigation Agency (NIA) was being used as a war weapon against
Hurriyat leadership in the occupied territory.
According to KMS, Syed Ali Gilani while chairing a meeting
of the APHC executive body at his Hyderpora residence said, “NIA
has no role and it is unjustified and illogical to drag it in
Kashmir.”
He said that the authorities were using this agency as a war
weapon against leadership and to defame and discredit the freedom
struggle.
The meeting was called to assess situation after recent
raids by NIA on the residences of pro-freedom leadership. “They
have crossed all limits and there is no legal justification for
such arbitrary measures.
Tehreek-e-Hurriyat, its leadership and cadre is the main
target of the authorities. It is a pre-planned psychological
crackdown so that we surrender and stop voicing the sentiments of
our people, thereby covering and shielding their atrocities and
barbarism against common and unarmed people,” he added.
“We have no hidden agenda and Tehreek-e-Hurriyat represents
political aspirations of people as such people generously support
us. Our activities are open, transparent and based on political
ideology,” Gilani said. “All these state sponsored tactics and
coercive measures won’t deter us from pursuing our mission, nor
these coercions, suppressive and aggressive measures will make us
to surrender.”
“I warn Delhi of dire consequences if all these harassing
measures are not stopped forthwith and desist from misadventure
and stubborn approach. Kashmir issue is a reality,” he said,
stressing to solve the issue as per aspirations of its people.
Maintaining that Kashmir movement is indigenous, he said,
“Pakistan as a party to the issue supports our right to self-
determination on political, moral and diplomatic level.”
