ISLAMABAD: In Indian occupied Kashmir, thousands of people from different areas of Kulgam district staged protest demonstrations, for the second consecutive day, today, in Kheearea of the district against the award of death sentence to a local boy by an Indian court in a fake case.
The demonstrations were led by Hurriyet leader Mukhatar Ahmad Waza, KMS reported.
The protesters raised pro-freedom and anti-India slogans on the occasion. Muzaffar Ahmad Rather, an 8th class student, had gone missing in 2002 from his residence in Kulgam, and his arrest was shown by Indian Border Security Force in Kolkata in 2007.
Hurriyet leaders including Aasiya Andrabi, Mohammad Yousu fNaqash, Shabbir Ahmed Dar, Mohammad Iqbal Mir, Mohammad Ahsan Untoo and Imtiyaz Ahmed Reshi in their statements condemned thedeath sentence by a Kolkata court to the boy.
Resistance leaders and organizations including Noor Mohammad Kalwal, Ghulam Nabi Zaki, Zahoor Ahmad Butt and Tehreek-e-Hurriyet Jammu and Kashmir staged a protest demonstration in Srinagar against atrocities of Indian forces in the territory.
Normal life was adversely affected in the entire Indian occupied Kashmir, today, due to strike by public transporters against anti-people policies of the puppet regime. All types of vehicles including taxis, buses and mini buses went off the roads across the valley.
Meanwhile, the illegally detained Hurriyet leaders, Shabbir Ahmad Shah and Muhammad Yasin Malik, in their separate statements said that India had no constitutional right to celebrate its Republic Day in the internationally-recognized disputed territory of Jammu and Kashmir.
They maintained that the Kashmiri people particularly students of schools and colleges would not participate in any ofIndia’s Republic Day functions in the occupied territory.
On the other hand, Indian police and paramilitary forces have started massive frisking across Jammu and Kashmir including Srinagar and Jammu, days ahead of Indian Republic Day on January26. Commuters are subjected to vigorous checking and asked to show their identity cards.
The Tehreek-e-Hurriyet Jammu and Kashmir in a statement denounced the slapping of draconian Public Safety Act on party activists including Ejaz Ahmad Behroo and Nazir Ahmad Ganai and their shifting to the jails outside the Valley.
