Muzaffarabad: Chairman Pasban-e-Hurriyat Jammu and Kashmir Uzair Ahmed Ghazali has said that the Indian government’s claim of peace at gunpoint in Occupied Jammu and Kashmir is a lie.
In a statement issued to the media here on Tuesday, he said that the Delhi government has failed to mislead the international community by deploying more than 1 million soldiers in Indian-occupied Jammu and Kashmir and keeping the people silent at gunpoint.
“India is trying to prove with lies and deceit that all is well in Kashmir, while the ground reality is that all the imperialist plans of the Delhi government are failing miserably in Jammu and Kashmir”, he maintained.
He said that nothing good is happening in Occupied Kashmir, adding that Indian coercion has deprived millions of Kashmiri citizens of all their civil, political, social and religious rights.
“The Kashmiri people are constantly suffering from Indian oppression”, he lamented.
Ghazali said that the central leadership of the All-Party Hurriyat Conference and freedom activists at the tehsil, district and division levels are locked up in Indian jails, while Mirwaiz Maulvi Umar Farooq is repeatedly facing house arrest.
He said that the Kashmiri people want freedom from India and the oppressed people do not consider elections as a substitute for referendum.
He said that the Kashmiri people have immense love for their state, their soil and their Islamic identity.
“Indian oppression and conspiracies can never convince the Kashmiri people to withdraw from their demand for freedom”, he cautioned.
He said that the Kashmiri freedom fighters are facing the Indian occupiers in the forests, mountains and plains of Kashmir, and the Hurriyat leadership is struggling for freedom and the right to self-determination despite all oppression and tyranny.
He further said that the people of Jammu and Kashmir will continue their struggle for freedom despite all the colonial tactics of India.
Uzair demanded the United Nations to understand the ground realities of Indian-occupied Jammu and Kashmir and come forward to solve this long-standing issue according to its own resolutions.
