Srinagar, April 09, 2019 (PPI-OT): In occupied Kashmir, the Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) has said that the party will not allow India to succeed in its anti-Kashmir nefarious designs. A JKLF spokesman in a statement issued in Srinagar said that New Delhi by its repressive policies would not be able to make the Kashmiri people to surrender their right to self-determination.
He said that BJP’s election manifesto to abrogate Articles 370 and 35-A, prohibiting local inhabitants to use Srinagar-Jammu highway, imposing curbs on the movement of people and putting behind the bars the popular leadership were all brutal tactics to win the upcoming elections. He condemned the harassment of Hurriyat forum Chairman, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, and APHC Chairman, Syed Ali Gilani’s son by India’s National Investigation Agency (NIA) at its headquarters in New Delhi.
Meanwhile, JKLF Europe Zone held an anti-India protest demonstration outside the Indian High Commission in Brussels, Belgium, to register protest against the banning of JKLF and the arrest of party Chairman, Muhammad Yasin Malik in occupied Kashmir.
The protest was attended by a large number of people including members of JKLF and Kashmiri Diaspora Mushtaq Hussain Dewan, Masood Iqbal Mir, Sardar Zahid Hussain, Mushtaq Pasha, Sardar Naseem Iqbal Advocate, Shabbir Ahmed Mirza, Ashfaq Qamar, Khan Habib Khan, Imran Butt, Sardar Adanan Hanif, Zaheer Zahi, Dr Ishtaq Altaf Khan, Amjid Hussain, Sharif Chaudhry, Nadeem Khan Jaral, Naqash Mushtaq, Babar Mirza, Master Ghazanfar, Tariq Hussain Thorarvi, Bazil Naseem and others.
The speakers on the occasion termed the banning of JKLF and arrest of Yasin Malik as undemocratic and demanded immediate revocation of the ban on the party and release of its chairman. The protesters chanted high-pitched pro-freedom and anti-India slogans and vowed to continue the protests if India did not stop human rights violations and state terrorism in occupied Kashmir.
