The supreme commander of Hizab-ul-Mujahiddin and chief of Muttahida Jihad Council, Syed Salahuddin, has said that martyrdom of Burhan Muzaffar Wani has raised the largest wave of freedom movement in the history of Kashmir.
Addressing a crowded press conference at the Idara Noor-e-Haq, Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) headquarters, he said that the Kashmiri people were committed to throwing out the Indian occupied forces from the valley of Jammu and Kashmir.
The gorilla commander said that despite all the sacrifices of people in Kashmir, the international community had been neglecting the issue. He strictly criticised the silence of global powers over the grave violations of human rights in Kashmir by the Indian forces.
He said the people of Kashmir had been left with no other choice but armed struggle. He further said that almost the entire population of Kashmir was on the back of their freedom fighters. He went on to says that each and every individual of the Kashmiri nation, including children and senior citizens, were ready to pick up arms, if the Modi-led Indian government failed to honour the will of Kashmiris.
On the occasion, he also criticised the Pakistani government for cold response to the cause of Kashmiri people. He demanded of the ruling regime in Pakistan to shun traditional Kashmir policy and adopt a bold stance. He also demanded of Pakistan to call off its envoys from India.
He was of the view that the Indian government and the United Nations will be responsible if the freedom movement in Kashmir takes any ugly turn. He said despite passage of 18 resolutions against India, the international community failed to resolve the issue of Kashmir.
