SRINAGAR: In occupied Kashmir, the All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC) Chairman, Syed Ali Gilani has criticised former puppet chief minister, Farooq Abdullah for his recent statement, saying that these power-hungry politicians have always played deceit and served the interests of their masters in New Delhi.
Farooq Abdullah in his statement had said that Azad Jammu and Kashmir belonged to Pakistan, while he ruled out freedom for occupied Kashmir.
Syed Ali Gilani in a statement issued in Srinagar said power-hungry politicians have always played deceit with people. He asked Farooq Abdullah to revisit annals of history and stated that former puppet Chief Minister was speaking against the wishes and aspirations of the Kashmiri people.
He said people are offering sacrifices to achieve their right to self-determination and not for their stale theories or so-called autonomy, adding that all these politicians are just slaves of their masters and parroting what they have been assigned and asked to do.
“We are not pursuing power politics and instead people are nourishing their sacred mission with blood and following genuine struggle for right to self-determination”, Gilani added.
Asking people to remain cautious about the conspiracies being hatched by these Delhi-groomed henchmen, he said “Since our genuine voices are being acknowledged and our right to self-determination is being credited by international community, hence they feel desperate, irritated and nervous.”
Haling people for their dedication and sense of sacrifice, Syed Ali Gilani said that people are determined and won’t succumb to pressure tactics and will pursue their mission till the right of self-determination is achieved.
