In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, complete shutdown will be observed, today to protest against Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi’s address to the United Nations General Assembly.
Call for the shutdown has been given by the All Parties Hurriyat Conference to draw the world’s attention towards the Indian occupation and Modi government’s illegal actions taken on and after 05 August 2019 to change the demographic composi-tion of the territory.
The APHC spokesman in a statement in Srina-gar said the people of IIOJK through complete shut-down will send a clear message to the international community that they reject India’s illegal occupa-tion of their homeland and will continue their strug-gle till they are given their UN-mandated right to self-determination.
A report released by Kashmir Media Service, today, maintained that India’s claims of return of normalcy in IIOJK stand exposed as killing of Kashmiris by the Indian troops on daily basis con-tinues. It said that Indian troops martyred four Kashmiri youth in Uri and Shopian areas, yesterday.
Hurriyat leaders and organizations including Javaid Ahmed Mir, Jammu and Kashmir Employees Movement and Jammu and Kashmir National Front in their statements welcomed the remarks of the Turkish President, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, regard-ing Kashmir dispute at the UN General Assembly.
President Erdogan in his speech at the UNGA called for settling the Kashmir dispute under the relevant UN resolutions.
Meanwhile, speakers at a condolence reference held at the office of APHC-AJK chapter in Islama-bad, today, paid glowing tributes to veteran journal-ist, intellectual and Executive Director of Kashmir Media Service, Shaikh Tajammul-ul-Islam.
