Hurriyat forum denounces extension in Malik’s judicial remand

Srinagar, April 26, 2019 (PPI-OT): In occupied Kashmir, the Hurriyat forum led by Mirwaiz Umar Farooq has said that the Indian repression cannot intimidate the Kashmiri people into submission. The forum spokesman in a statement issued in Srinagar strongly denounced the extension till May 24 in judicial remand of illegally detained JKLF chief, Muhammad Yasin Malik, issuance of summons to grandson of APHC Chairman, Syed Ali Gilani after his two sons by India’s National Investigation Agency (NIA) and the notice by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) to the daughter of senior APHC leader, Shabbir Ahmed Shah. He termed these moves as revengeful and unfortunate.

“Policies of repression and intimidations cannot change the basic reality about the Kashmir dispute and the need to resolve it, neither can the display of intimidation and muscular approach push people of Kashmir into submission,” the spokesman said. He maintained that Kashmir dispute is purely a humanitarian and a political issue and until it is addressed politically, peace will remain a casualty in Kashmir and the South Asia its hostage.
