Self-Determination is the destiny for Kashmiris, says Geelani

The Chairman of All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC), Syed Ali Shah Geelani, has said that the people of Occupied State of Jammu & Kashmir (OSJK) have to continue their peaceful Quit Kashmir Movement against Indian occupation, till the right of Self-Determination is not granted to them.

Syed Ali Shah Geelani, who is also the President of Jammu & Kashmir Tahreek e Hurriyat, was talking to the international media in his New Delhi residence.

He also said that the people of Occupied State of Jammu & Kashmir (OSJK) are holding peaceful demonstrations and protests against illegal Indian occupation. He also demanded for the complete withdrawal of Indian armed forces from OSJK and demanded to end the Indian human rights violations against Kashmiris.

Criticising the Indian government and its armed forces, the Chairman of All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC) and the President of Jammu & Kashmir Tahreek e Hurriyat (TeH), Syed Ali Shah Geelani had accused Indian armed forces against gross human right abuses in OSJK.

It is worth mentioning here that till 1947, Indian armed forces and its sponsored Hindu terrorists groups, such as Shev Sina, RSS & Bajrang Dal etc had killed more than 3,00,000 innocent Kashmiris so far. While, nearly 20s of thousands of Kashmiris girls are sexually assaulted by Indian Armed forces and its sponsored Hindu terrorists organisations. Not even a single army officer of Indian army had so far been punished.

The APHC Chairman, Syed Ali Shah Geelani had also condemned the illegal arrest of APHC leaders and activists. Syed Ali Shah Geelani demanded the Indian government for immediate and un-conditional release of all Kashmiris including school and college students, who were arrested by Indian armed forces on false charges.

Syed Ali Shah Geelani said that until or unless India does not publicly accept Jammu & Kashmir as a disputed territory and does not withdraw its armed forces from OSJK. It is illogical to engage into any talks with the Indian authorities.

While repeating his famous six points, Syed Ali Shah Geelani said that India will have to repeal black laws such as PSA, withdraw its armed forces, punish the guilty officers and personnel of Indian army, release all illegally detained Kashmiris leaders and activists. Geelani said that implementation of his six points are crucial in resolving the Kashmir dispute.

It is also worth to be mentioned here that the Chairman of All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC) and the President of Jammu & Kashmir Tahreek e Hurriyat (TeH) Syed Ali Shah Geelani went India for his medical treatment, where he had been shown a notice, issued by the Indian government, forcing him to stay in New Delhi, stopping him from going back to Occupied State of Jammu & Kashmir (OSJK), where he is spearheading the ongoing Quit Kashmir Movement..

Indian occupying forces arrested two more TeH leaders, Pervez Ahmad Butt and Tariq Ahmad Ganai, in Occupied State of Jammu & Kashmir (OSJK).

The Jammu & Kashmir Tahreek e Hurriyat (TeH) strongly denounced the illegal detention of both TeH leaders and demanded for the immediate release.

Talking with the media, the spokesman of TeH termed the illegal arrest of two of its leaders as "political vengeance" by the Indian authorities.

The spokesman of TeH had strongly criticised India on its double standards. "At one hand, India is talking about negotiations to settle the (Jammu &) Kashmir dispute and on the other hands its armed forces are killing and detaining innocent Kashmiris in the occupied territory." the spokesman said.
