Srinagar, January 24, 2019 (PPI-OT): In occupied Kashmir, a delegation of Hurriyat leaders including Shabbir Ahmad Dar, Muhammad Ahsan Untoo, Imtiyaz Ahmad Reshi and Shakeel-ur-Rehman, today, visited the residences of Hurriyat leaders, Muhammad Khan Sopori and Nissar Hussain Rather to welcome their release. The delegation leaders expressed solidarity with both the leaders and also enquired after the health condition of Khan Sopori who is suffering from multiple diseases.
On the occasion, the leaders discussed the prevailing grim situation of occupied Kashmir. They paid glowing tributes to the three youth martyred by the Indian troops in Baramulla yesterday and said the huge sacrifices offered by the Kashmiri youth would not go waste. They said these sacrifices have center-staged the Kashmir dispute at the international level and maintained that the Baramulla martyrs have once again proved that the mission is more important than their lives.
On the other hand, Hurriyat leader and the Chairman of Jammu and Kashmir Peoples League (JKPL), Mukhtar Ahmad Waza, in a statement issued in Srinagar urged the United Nations to help settle the lingering Kashmir dispute. He said the UN must put pressure on India to stop unabated human rights violations in Kashmir and take notice of Indian state terrorism in the territory.
The Jammu and Kashmir Salvation Movement (JKSM) spokesman in a statement in Srinagar condemned the forces’ highhandedness across the territory and arrest of more than two dozens of party leaders and activists including party chairman Zafar Akber Butt. He termed the arrest of party leaders as undemocratic and political vendetta.
