The Chairman of All Parties Hurriyet Conference, Syed Ali Gilani has said that denying political space, suppressing genuine voices for freedom and unleashing crackdowns on pro-freedom leaders and activists are deliberate attempts on part of India to create uncertainty in the territory. Syed Ali Gilani in a statement issued in Srinagar said that hundreds of innocent youth had been detained under frivolous charges. He said that the detainees were kept in miserable conditions where criminals were targeting them at the behest of jail authorities. The APHC Chairman urged the International Committee of Red Cross and Amnesty International to take cognizance of the plight of Kashmiri political detainees and impress upon India to shun its callous attitude and release the detainees at the earliest.Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front Chairman, Muhammad Yasin Malik in a statement in Srinagar said that puppet Chief Minister had pledged her masters in New Delhi to use more harsh tactics to crush Kashmiris’ resistance. He said despite the use of all harsh and oppressive methods, Indian rulers and their Kashmiri stooges had failed to put Kashmiris into submission and would fail to do so in future as well.Indian police re-arrested senior APHC leader, Masarrat Aalam Butt, after he was bailed out by a Baramulla court in a false case registered against him in 2016. He has been shifted to some undisclosed location. Masarrat Aalam Butt has been booked 34 times under the black law, Public Safety Act, since 1990. Meanwhile, complete shutdown was observed in Maisuma and adjoining areas of Srinagar today, against highhandedness of Indian police and army. All shops and business establishments were closed and traffic was off the road in the areas.On the other hand, a senior BJP leader Yashwant Sinha has called for an immediate start of dialogue process with people of Kashmir, to be subsequently joined by Pakistan. He said he had sought a meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Kashmir, but there was no response from his office. The situation in occupied Kashmir is worsening day by day and India is constantly using brute force against innocent people. Indian occupational forces are using pellet guns and live ammunitions against Kashmiris and people are being faced worst Indian oppressions for raising their legitimate right to self determination. The genocide of youths is going on and people are being kidnapped and the leadership is being arrested. On the other hand United Nations and international community is showing their criminal silence and playing spectacular role. The Indian oppressions cannot suppress the struggle of people of Kashmir and it will reach on its logical conclusion very soon. Pakistan has raised voice against severe human rights violations by Indian forces at every forum but these efforts could not produced tangible results. Pakistan should intensify its efforts to raise the plight of the people of Kashmir at every forum. International Community should also play its due role in pressing India to immediately stop bloodshed in Kashmir. United Nations should implement its decades old resolutions on Kashmir issue.
