ISLAMABAD: The All Parties Hurriyat Conference Azad Jammu and Kashmir (APHC-AJK) chapter organized a protest demonstration at Press Club in Islamabad, today, on the 6th martyrdom anniversary of popular Kashmiri youth leader, Burhan Muzaffar Wani.
The protesters were holding portraits of Burhan Wani and placards with pro-freedom and anti-India slogans. They also raised high-pitched slogans in favour of Kashmiri martyrs and against the Indian brutalities in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
Addressing the demonstration, the Hurriyat leaders paid rich tributes to Burhan Wani and other martyrs. They said that the Kashmiri martyrs had rendered their lives for a sacred cause and their sacrifices would definitely bring positive results soon. They said that Burhan Wani’s sacrifice gave a new impetus to the Kashmir freedom movement, adding that the world was fully aware of the situation in IIOJK.
The Hurriyat leaders deplored that the Indian troops were using brute force to suppress the Kashmiris’ indigenous freedom movement but would never succeed in its nefarious designs and the people of Kashmir would continue their struggle for right to self-determination till complete success.
They said Burhan Wani passed the freedom movement of Kashmir to the younger generation by embracing martyrdom and today every youth of Kashmir in the form of Burhan Wani stands like a rock against the illegal occupation of India over Kashmir.
The Hurriyat leaders reiterated the Kashmiris’ commitment to continue the mission of their martyrs till its logical conclusion. They also paid rich tributes to the Kashmiri youth martyred by the Indian troops recently and condemned the issuance of Jammu and Kashmir domiciles to Indian citizens to turn the Muslim-majority status of the territory into a minority by India.
They urged the United Nations and other international human rights organizations to take cognizance of the deteriorating situation in IIOJK.
Meanwhile, the rallies were also held in Shaheed Chowk, Muzaffarabad, Kotli, Rawala Kote and other parts of AJK. People from all walks of life, including political leaders and students, participated in the rallies.
