ISLAMABAD (APP): Hurriyat All Parties Conference Vice Chairman Ghulam Ahmed Gulzar has said that India has turned illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir into a slaughterhouse where Indian soldiers are shedding the blood of innocent Kashmiris with impunity to persecute them for challenging India’s illegal occupation of their homeland.
According to Kashmir Media Service, Ghulam Ahmed Gulzar in Srinagar, condemning the ongoing genocidal campaign in IIOJK, said that India has soaked the territory with the blood of its innocent youth and hardly a day goes by when bloodthirsty soldiers do not kill Kashmiris.
“The recent killing of eight innocent youths in fake encounters over three days is a clear example of Indian forces being involved in the systematic genocide of Kashmir. The objective of this ethnic cleansing is to turn Kashmir into a graveyard, kill all Kashmiris, usurp their land, settle non-Kashmiris in the disputed territory and change its demography,” he said.
The APHC leader said that killing Kashmiris is the official policy of India and its troops are trigger-happy in murdering innocents in the occupied territory for rewards and promotions. He pointed out that more than one million soldiers, who are given sweeping powers under the draconian Armed Forces Special Powers Act, have been given permission to kill Kashmiris.
Paying rich tributes to the Kashmiris who succumbed to Indian bullets recently, Ghulam Ahmed Gulzar asserted that the mission of Kashmiri martyrs will be accomplished at any cost.
He said that the youth who laid down their lives for the great cause of freedom are the heroes of Kashmiri people who are indebted to these brave souls. He said that Indian Hindutva forces were hell-bent on enforcing their ideology and culture in Occupied Kashmir, but Kashmiris would fight them tooth and nail.
The APHC leader said the passion of Kashmiris for freedom was invincible and would never bow down to Indian slavery.
He promised that the mission of the martyrs will be taken to its logical conclusion and the day is not far when the people of Kashmir will be freed from Indian subjugation.
Ghulam Ahmed Gulzar also expressed concern over the massive search operations and house raids being carried out by Indian forces and the dreaded investigative agencies in occupied Kashmir.
He also condemned the random arrest of innocent people in trumped-up cases, saying that Kashmiris cannot be intimidated by such brutalities.
He urged the international community to shun its criminal silence and hold India accountable for its crimes in the occupied territory.
