‘India must accept Kashmiris aspiration to self-determination’

By Asghar Ali Mubarak

ISLAMABAD: In Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir, the All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC) has once again called upon India to grant the Kashmiris their inalienable right to self-determination to decide their political future as per relevant resolutions of the United Nations.
According to Kashmir Media Service, the APHC spokesman said that India would not be able to suppress the Kashmiris’ ongoing freedom struggle through military aggression and state terrorism. Explaining its position on the Gupkara Declaration adopted by pro-India political parties, the APHC said that these parties had realized that they had been collaborating with India by strengthening its illegal occupation over Jammu and Kashmir over the past 70.
These are the same parties that helped the BJP and Hindutva forces to implement their anti-Kashmiri policies, it said.
The statement said now India has shown its true face and destroyed the political future of these parties in J&K, they are faced with the same reality, which the APHC and Hurriyat leaders have been warning them for the past seven decades. The spokesman said that India in violation of international laws had been practically implementing its nefarious agenda of changing the Muslim majority status of J&K since August last year.
