Srinagar
In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, the All Parties Hurriyat Conference has said that India is using cheap tactics to force the Hurriyat leaders and activists to surrender their just cause of freedom from the Indian yoke.
The APHC spokesman in a statement issued in Srinagar, today, said that the Modi government was using its judiciary and investigating agencies to harass and intimidate the Hurriyat leaders and their families.
He said that on one hand, Indian courts were illegally summoning the people associated with the freedom movement while on the other, Indian National Investigation Agency was confiscating the property of the pro-freedom people.
He maintained that such repressive measures cannot subdue the freedom sentiment of the Kashmiri people and they will continue their struggle till complete success.
A Delhi court has summoned Dr Bilquis Shah, the wife of illegally detained senior APHC leader, Shabbir Ahmed Shah, in a fresh supplementary charge-sheet filed by India’s Enforcement Directorate in a false case registered 18 years ago.

On the other hand, thousands of people staged protest demonstrations in Kargil, Saliskote, Drass, Khandi, Shakar and other areas of Ladakh against the RSS pawn Waseem Rizvi over his sacrilegious act. The protesters burnt the photographs of Rizvi and demanded his immediate arrest.
Waseem Rizvi has filed a petition in the Indian Supreme Court seeking removal of 26 verses from the Holy Quran.

In Brussels, the chairperson of the European Union Parliament’s committee on human rights, Marie Arena, has said that the EU must talk about human rights in India before establishing broader economic ties with India in the form of the Free Trade Agreement.
Briefing a joint meeting of the European Parliament Commission and the European External Action Service, she sharply criticised India’s human rights record and said the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party has sown the seeds of hatred in the Indian society and arrested opponents on a large scale.
Marie Arena maintained that FTA’s terms include human rights and the United Nations has published two reports on human rights violations in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir.—KMS
