He said that for the last seven decades, India had been suppressing every voice raised for the freedom of the people of Kashmir with military might. He said that since 1989, dozens of such incidents had taken place in the occupied territory in which thousands of Kashmiris had been killed. Ghazali said that Indian military siege and killing in IIOJK should be exposed to the world and strict action should be taken against the tyrant rulers and military personnel of India.
