All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC) leaders have strongly criticized Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s upcoming visit to occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
According to Kashmir Media Service, the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is visiting Jammu on February 20. During his daylong visit, he is scheduled to address a public rally at Maulana Azad Stadium in the heart of Jammu city. Modi will also inaugurate and lay the foundation stone of multiple projects virtually, interact with the people via video conferencing and deliver job letters to youth.
APHC leader Mohammad Yousaf Naqash, in a statement issued in Srinagar highlighted the enduring suffering of the Kashmiris due to decades of forced Indian occupation and brutality, with millions sacrificing their lives to resist this occupation.
Quoting Hurriyat leader Syed Ali Gilani’s words, “If India paves our roads with gold instead of tar, we will never accept Indian slavery,” Naqash emphasized that no economic package from India can address the deep wounds inflicted on Kashmiris.
APHC leader Farida Behanji in her statement in Srinagar said the people of the territory only want peaceful settlement of the Kashmir dispute according to the resolutions of the United Nations and aspirations of the Kashmiri people and no economic packages. Only acceptable solution for Kashmiris is complete independence from India, she asserted.
She underscored that the spirit of Kashmiri freedom could not be weakened, even in the face of India’s efforts to spread terror through nighttime raids and daylight harassment
Reiterating the long-pending demand for the resolution of the Kashmir dispute, Farida Behanji emphasized that lasting peace in South Asia is unattainable without addressing the Kashmir problem and restraining India’s unrestrained and expansionist ambitions.
The All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC) has said that people of Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir are seeking resolution of the Kashmir dispute through the exercise of internationally recognized right to self-determination.
According to Kashmir Media Service, the APHC spokesman in a statement in Srinagar said India has been impeding the way for just solution of the Kashmir dispute for the last over seven decades due to which the permanent peace continues to elude the South Asian region, in particular, and the world, in general.
He said Pakistan has always advocated for peaceful resolution of the Kashmir dispute through result-oriented talks with India, but New Delhi’s unabated hostility and intransigence have vitiated the environment and obstructed the prospects for peace in the region.
The APHC said that Narendra Modi must remember that India’s stubborn approach and its policy of repression is bound to fail in IIOJK. India must be clearly told to fulfill its pledges made before the UN to resolve the Kashmir dispute, he maintained.
The spokesman said the world and peace loving community has a responsibility to help resolving the Kashmir dispute and urged the United Nations to play its rightful role in settling the dispute as per its resolutions.—KMS
