He said this time, we should show even more solidarity because India has intensified her reign of violence and state terrorism against innocent people in occupied Jammu Kashmir.
Sultan said the people of Occupied Jammu and Kashmir have been deprived of their basic human rights by India for the last 74 years. The imposition of curfews and the bane on the media while all political leaders have been putted behind the bars to suppress the freedom movement launched by the people of occupied Kashmir for attaining their right to self determination, he expressed.
He underlined that as illustrious Kashmir freedom struggle leaders Syed Ali Gilani and Ashraf Sahrai died under siege by Indian forces, their family members were prevented from attending the funeral prayers of the top Kashmiri leaders.

The AJK President said that on 5th August, 2019, India has practically turned Occupied Kashmir into a military cantonment by repealing Articles 370 and 35A and has issued 4.2 million fake domiciles to Hindu.
