ISLAMABAD: All Parties Hurriyat Conference has strongly condemned the invoking of draconian Public Safety Act on its Vice Chairman Ghulam Ahmad Gulzar, terming it as vengeful and yet another manifestation of the worst form of fascism by Narendra Modi led Indian regime in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK).
According to reporter , the APHC spokesman in a statement issued in Srinagar said New Delhi is using militaristic tactics to stifle the voice of freedom and punish those who are peacefully striving for freeing their homeland from Indian illegal occupation.
The spokesman pointed out that all Indian brutal acts of the Indian regime including the arrests of pro-freedom leaders and activists would fail to deter the Kashmiri people from continuing their legitimate freedom struggle. He maintained that the right to self-determination is a fundamental human right of the Kashmiri people and they will continue their struggle for the realisation of this inalienable right.
The spokesman reiterated the Kashmiri people’s demand from the UN Secretary General and the global community to implement the world body’s resolutions on Kashmir and hold a free and fair plebiscite in Jammu and Kashmir. He also appealed to the UN Human Rights Council and other international rights bodies to take stock of the grave human rights violations perpetrated, day in and day out, by the Indian occupation troops in the territory and hold Modi and other Indian leaders accountable for the crimes against humanity.
