Islamabad: Senior Hurriyat Leader Syed Yousuf Naseem Sunday termed Youm-e-Istehsal as a ‘black chapter’ in the history of the disputed region and reiterated the unwavering commitment of the Kashmiri people to resist Indian oppression and fight for their freedom, self-determination, and the right to decide their own political destiny.
Talking to PTV news channel, he condemned the Indian government’s attempts to suppress the Kashmiri people’s voice, erase their identity, and alter the demographic composition of the region.
Naseem also paid tribute to the countless martyrs who have sacrificed their lives in the struggle for freedom and vowed to continue their mission until the realization of the Kashmiri people’s aspirations.
As the Kashmir valley continues to suffer under Indian occupation, Naseem’s statement serves as a poignant reminder of the unrelenting struggle for justice, equality, and human rights that has defined the Kashmiri people’s quest for freedom for decades.
Senior Hurriyat Leader Syed Yous
uf Naseem pointed out that even pro-Indian elements in Kashmir have started to raise their voice against the Indian government’s policies and are now seeking dialogue with Pakistan.
This, Naseem noted, is a clear indication of the growing disillusionment with the Indian government’s handling of the Kashmir issue.
He observed that these pro-Indian elements, who were once staunch supporters of the Indian government, are now criticizing the RSS’ s policies and their own leadership for their failure to address the concerns of the Kashmiri people.
This shift in stance, Naseem argued, is a testament to the fact that the Indian government’s policies have failed to win the hearts and minds of the Kashmiri people.
He further noted that the criticism of the Indian government’s policies by pro-Indian elements is being widely reported in the Indian media, which is a significant development in itself.
Hurriyat Leader also reiterated that the Kashmiri people’s struggle is not just against the Indian government’s polic
ies, but also against the ideology of the RSS, which seeks to suppress the Kashmiri people’s identity and culture.
He vowed to continue the struggle for freedom and self-determination, and expressed hope that the international community would take notice of the Kashmiri people’s plight and support their just cause.
