SRINAGAR: Jammu and Kashmir National Front Chairman Nayeem Ahmad Khan and other leaders of APHC (All Parties Hurriyat Conference) leaders while terming 19th July as a defining moment in the history of Kashmir, have reiterated their commitment to carry forward the freedom struggle in the light of the historical resolution passed at a meeting of the All Jammu and Kashmir Muslim Conference in Srinagar on July 19, 1947
In his message from New Delhi’s Tihar jail, the imprisoned JKNF chairman, Nayeem Ahmad Khan, said the resolution adopted a month before the creation of Pakistan demonstrated an unconditional love of Kashmiris for Pakistan.
Referring to the Partition Plan, he expressed that the state of Jammu and Kashmir was geographically, culturally, ethnically, and historically part and parcel of Pakistan, but India’s antagonistic policy of deceit and deception, expansionism, and perpetual denial of implementation of the UN resolutions on Kashmir have pushed the region into a quagmire of uncertainty and chaos.
Appreciating the unprecedented sacrifices rendered by the Kashmiri people, Nayeem Ahmad Khan said that Kashmiris had sustained relentless killings, widespread death, and destruction at the hands of Indian occupation forces. He further stated that hundreds of thousands of people have been severely tortured and rendered disabled, while the human rights violations at the hands of Indian occupation troops have become a routine matter for the Indian authorities.
Reiterating Kashmiris’ pledge to take the ongoing struggle to its logical conclusion, Khan reaffirmed that the day was not far when Kashmiris would achieve their cherished goal of freedom from Indian occupation.
APHC Leaders to Continue Freedom Struggle
Other APHC leaders, including Syed Bashir Andrabi, Yasmeen Raja, Khwaja Firdous, Firdous Ahmed Shah, Muhammad Yousuf Naqash, Ghulam Nabi War, and Davinder Singh Behl in their statements in Srinagar and Jammu said that the historic resolution called for the Accession of Jammu and Kashmir to Pakistan given its existing religious, cultural, geographical and economic proximity to Pakistan and aspirations of millions of Kashmiri Muslims.
