Tehreek-e-Hurriyat
Chairman Mohammad Ashraf Sehrai have paid tributes to three Kashmiri youth
martyred in Pinglan Pulwama today. The youth were martyred during a cordon
and search operation is not justified at all. He said, because of the
repressive policies of the Indian government our fourth generations have been
pushed to the wall. He said insensitivity of the Indian authorities is the sole
reason for the unabated bloodshed. Added that the demand for legitimate right
to self-determination is the only crime of the Kashmiri people.
Sehrai further,
Hails the statement of Kamal Hassan wherein he, said, India should hold the plebiscite
in kashmir. Tehreek-e-Hurriyat chairman while expressed his gratitude to Kamal
Hassan for the support to the people of Kashmir in their “legitimate struggle” and
expressed hope that he and other sane voices would play a “positive and
effective role to press India for the peaceful settlement of Kashmir dispute. It
is primarily a question of the birth right of the people of the state of
J&K,” he said.
Sehrai, urged
the Government of India should give up its obduracy, and accept the reality
that it has to address the Kashmir dispute in accordance with the wishes of its
people. Sehrai has said the Kashmir issue cannot be resolved through brute
force nor people of kashmir can be silenced with military might, adding that
the issue can only be solve to address the dispute in its historical
perspective. He said that instead of taking measures to resolve long pending
issue in its historical perspective, New Delhi wants to thrust it’s choice
through barrel of gun. This arrogance and persistent denial can’t hold water
for long and Delhi has to come to terms with the writing on the wall. He said a
delay in resolution of the long-running dispute has kept the people of whole
sub-continent hostage and it is proving to be a big hurdle to peace and
prosperity in the whole subcontinent
