Srinagar, October 01, 2010: Senior APHC leader and President of Anjuman-e-Shari Shian, Agha Syed Hassan Al-Moosvi, has lauded the statement of Foreign Minister of Pakistan, Shah Mehmood Qurashi on Occupied State of Jammu & Kashmir (OSJK) during his speech in the United Nations and termed it in line with the aspirations of the Kashmiri people.
Agha Syed Hassan Al-Moosvi, in a statement issued in Srinagar, said that the so-called elections in the occupied territory held by the authorities could not be a substitute to Kashmiris right of self-determination. He appreciated the role of people of Kashmir belonging to every shade of life in the ongoing struggle. Kashmiris have given matchless sacrifices for the just cause. Their sacrifices will not be allowed to go waste, he added.
The APHC leader said that the Kashmiri people had not sacrificed their lives for economic packages but for their inalienable right. Commenting on Allahabad High Courts verdict regarding Babri Mosque, Agha Syed Hassan AL-Moosvi termed the decision biased and against the norms of righteousness and justice.
The Jammu and Kashmir Peoples Movement (JKPM), a constituent of the All Parties Hurriyet Conference (APHC), has hailed the statement of Foreign Minister of Pakistan, Shah Mahmood Qurashi, on Kashmir which he made during his speech in the United Nations.
The Chairman of Jammu and Kashmir Peoples Movement (JKPM), Ghulam Ahmed Mir, in a statement issued in Srinagar, said that Pakistan had always extended its moral, diplomatic and political support to the Kashmir cause. He said that the resolutions passed by the United Nations formed the basis for peaceful and permanent resolution of the Kashmir dispute in accordance with the aspirations of the people of Jammu and Kashmir.
The JKPM Chairman rejected the statement of Indian Foreign Minister, S M Krishna in which he said that after elections there was no justification for demanding plebiscite in the occupied territory. Ghulam Ahmed Mir said that the election dramas staged by India in the territory could not be substitute to the Kashmiris right to self-determination.
He said that the Kashmiri people had never accepted illegal occupation of their motherland by India and they had been making supreme sacrifices to take the freedom movement to its logical conclusion.
Urging New Delhi to shun its rigid attitude towards Kashmir and accept its disputed status, he said that hundred days of peaceful agitation by the people of the territory should have opened its eyes. India has completely failed to quell the peaceful struggle of the people even after killing more than one hundred and ten innocent Kashmiris, he maintained.
Back on streets of Srinagar, the Indian forces have arrested a pesh imam twice in last 10 days in Kupwara district for objecting to the highhandedness of Indian troops and police against innocent people. The family sources said that 70-year-old, Ghulam Mohiuddin Peer, son of Haji Abdul Khaliq was arrested during a night raid on September 18 and lodged at district Jail Kupwara. Ghulam Mohiuddin Peer, a former revenue official, was bailed out by a local court after five days. However, as soon as he stepped outside the jail, he was re-arrested and fresh cases were slapped against him. Family, however, pleaded his innocence and termed charges against him as fabricated and fictitious.
Unfolding the events leading to her husbands arrest, Amina Begum said that on September 14, a vehicle, carrying a pregnant woman, passed through the village where Special Operations Group (SOG) of police and Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) had enforced tough restrictions to prevent protests following the killing of 18 people by Indian police and troops across the Valley.
The SOG and CRPF men intercepted the vehicle and thrashed the male inmates. They also misbehaved with the pregnant woman. My husband and some locals tried to intervene and ensure the safety of the patient. However, the SOG and CRPF personnel burst teargas shells and fired in air to disperse them, she added.
Next day, Amina said, her husband, who is also pesh imam of Jamia Masjid, offered prayers on road seeking peace and prosperity for the people. On the night of September 18, a party of troops and SOG stormed the village. They broke windowpanes of our houses and ransacked the household goods. After vandalizing property, they bundled my husband, son and a guest in a police van, she said. My husband is innocent and is being punished for raising voice against atrocities, she added.
