The All Parties Hurriyat Conference leaders in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir while paying glowing tributes to popular youth leader, Burhan Muzaffar Wani, have reiterated the Kashmiris’ resolve to accomplish the mission of their martyrs at all costs.
Burhan Wani was martyred along with his two associates by Indian troops in a fake encounter in Kokernag area of Islamabad district on this day in 2016.
The APHC leaders including Khadim Hussain, Syed Sibte Shabbir Qummi and Muhammad Huzaif in their statements issued in Srinagar said that Burhan Wani gave a new dimension to the freedom struggle through social media and his services and sacrifices for the freedom movement would always be remembered. They said that Burhan Wani belonged to an affluent family but he gave up his life of comfort and chose a tough path and infused a new spirit in the freedom struggle through effective use of social media.
The APHC leaders said Burhan Wani has be-come the face of Kashmir freedom movement and a symbol of Kashmiris’ resistance to India’s illegal occupation of their homeland. They pointed out that despite exhausting all its resources and employing every brutal tactics, New Delhi has failed to intimi-date the Kashmiri people into submission. They said India can snatch Burhans physically, but it cannot kill the freedom sentiment of Kashmiri people and Burhans will keep on coming till Kashmir attains freedom from its yoke.
The APHC leaders maintained that Burhan Wani and other Kashmiri martyrs have laid down their lives for a great cause. They said the Kashmiri martyrs’ unparalleled sacrifices, which have made the Kashmir dispute the focus of attention at the international level, will not be allowed to go waste and the ongoing freedom movement will be taken to its logical conclusion, despite all odds.
The APHC leaders said the Kashmiris are des-tined to win their freedom and Indian defeat is the writing on the wall. They appealed to the international community to hold India accountable for its brutali-ties in IIOJK and force New Delhi to settle the Kashmir dispute in accordance with the Kashmiris’ aspirations and relevant UN resolutions.—KMS
