The illegally detained All Parties Hurriyat Conference Chairman Masarrat Aalam Butt, while welcoming the OIC Secretary General’s strongly-worded statement on Kashmir, has hoped that the Muslim countries will collectively raise their voice for the right to self-determination of the Kashmiri people.
In a statement, he said the time has come when New Delhi should be given a shut-up call for practicing brutal methods of coercion to punish the Kashmiris for demanding the UN-guaranteed right.
The APHC chairman said India is subjecting Hurriyat leaders, media persons, rights activists and even ordinary youth to illegal arrests in fake cases to break their resolve for freedom.
Meanwhile, the residents of Srinagar held a protest demonstration against Modi-led fascist Indian government’s move to promote consumption of liquor as part of a series of its steps to dilute the Muslim status of Jammu and Kashmir.
On the other hand, Indian troops during a cordon and search operation in Muradpur area of Rajouri district, conducted house-to-house searches, subjecting the residents to severe harassment and intimidation.
A resolution passed by the participants of the International Kashmir Conference in the United Kingdom has demanded immediate resolution of the Kashmir dispute and release of all Hurriyat detainees including Muhammad Yasin Malik.
