Srinagar:,,, In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, the All Parties Hurriyat Conference while paying glowing tributes to the founder of Pakistan, Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, on his 147th birth anniversary, today, said that the Quaid was determined to go to any extent for freedom of Jammu and Kashmir from India.
According to a Kashmir Media Service report on Monday, APHC leaders Professor Abdul Ghani Butt, Ghulam Muhammad Khan Sopori, Bashir Andrabi and others in their statements in Srinagar said that people of Jammu and Kashmir were part and parcel of the Quaid-e-Aazam’s movement for the creation of Pakistan. They said that Kashmiri people believe that Pakistan would only complete when Jammu and Kashmir is freed from Indian slavery and become part of the country as Quaid-e-Azam used to call Kashmir a jugular vein of Pakistan.
National Conference President Farooq Abdullah talking to media persons in Srinagar denounced the normalcy propaganda being paddled by the Modi-led Indian regime in occupied Jammu and Kashmir and asked for addressing the core issue of Kashmir through talks with Pakistan. He said, armed resistance is alive despite abrogation of Article 370 in 2019, and it cannot be finished by the use of military might. Peoples Democratic Party President Mehbooba Mufti in a statement on Twitter also said that the ground realities in Kashmir contradicts the Modi government's narrative and called on New Delhi to adopt a more transparent approach to address the Kashmir dispute.
Meanwhile, in a bid to defuse growing anger against India in occupied Jammu and Kashmir over abduction and subsequent killing of three civilians in Indian army’s custody in Surankote, Poonch, a Brigadier and three other officers involved in the brutal act have been transferred from the area. Later, when the dust will settle down, the Indian army, as it has been doing in the past, in collusion with the pliant judiciary will manage to write off the case against the officers.
Indian authorities put Peoples Democratic Party President Mehbooba Mufti under house arrest in Srinagar, today, to prevent her from visiting the families of the three victims of custodial killing in Surankote, Poonch.
On the other hand, Indian army’s Lt Col Karanbir Singh Natt, who went into coma in 2015 after he received multiple injuries in an attack in Haji Naka area of Kupwara district passed away at a military hospital in Jalandhar, Punjat.
