Settlement of Kashmir, Palestine vital for peace: Al-Moosvi

SRINAGAR (IHK): In occupied Kashmir, senior leader of the All Parties Hurriyet Conference (APHC), Agha Syed Hassan Al-Moosvi has said that the settlement of Kashmir and Palestine disputes is imperative for durable peace in the world, reports KMS.

Addressing the Juma congregation on the occasion of Yaum-i-Kashmir and Yaum-i-Quds at Badgam, Agha Hassan said that the occupation forces in Kashmir and Palestine had made lives of the people miserable. He said that Kashmir was internationally recognised disputed territory and the people of Jammu and Kashmir had raised the dispute at international forums.

He maintained that Indian troops wanted to suppress the voice of Kashmiris through use of brute force but they wouldn’t succeed in their nefarious designs.

The APHC leader urged India to give up its rigid stance on Kashmir and come to the negotiating table in the larger interest of the people of South Asia so that permanent peace could be established in the region. He also demanded of the world community to put pressure on New Delhi to resolve the dispute in accordance with Kashmiris’ aspirations.

Meanwhile, the people in Srinagar, Sopore, Baramulla, Bandipore, Ganderbal, Charar-e-Sharief, Islamabad, Kulgam, Shopian, Tral, Thanna Mandi, Sarankot, Poonch, Kishtwar, Doda, Bhaderwah, Mandher and other cities and towns held massive protest demonstrations on Jumatul Wida, which was observed in occupied Kashmir as Yaum-i-Kashmir and Yaum-i-Quds. The demonstrators raised high-pitched slogans against India and in favour of liberation of Kashmir and Palestine. Link...
