In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, senior leader of All Parties Hurriyat Conference Ghulam Ahmed Gulzar has said that India is staging an election drama in the territory to hoodwink the world.
In a statement issued in Srinagar, he said the Kashmiris are sacrificing their lives for the right to self-determination promised by the United Nations Security Council and not for a fraudulent regime or so-called elections.
He said election in presence of one million Indian troops is nothing but a military operation.
He also urged the international community to take concrete steps for the settlement of the lingering Kashmir dispute so that permanent peace could be established in the region.
