Gilani rules out Kashmir solution within Indian constitution
22 November, 2012
Srinagar: In occupied Kashmir, the veteran Hurriyet leader, Syed Ali Gilani has said that the people of Kashmir want freedom from Indian bondage and any settlement of the Kashmir dispute within the framework of Indian constitution is unacceptable. Syed Ali Gilani in a statement issued in Srinagar said that if India was serious about resolving the lingering dispute, then it should withdraw its troops from the territory, give Kashmiris their birthright to self-determination and settle the dispute as per relevant resolutions of the United Nations. The veteran leader denounced the remarks of Indian Home Minister, Sushil Kumar Shinde that Kashmir was an integral part of India. Senior APHC leader, Shabbir Ahmad Shah in his statement in Srinagar said that the Kashmiris were fighting for their legitimate right to self-determination and India would never be able to force them into submission through use of brute force. Another APHC leader, Nayeem Ahmad Khan said that New Delhi under the draconian laws, Armed Forces Special Powers Act and Public Safety Act had given a free hand to its troops to kill and harass the innocent Kashmiris in the territory. The President of High Court Bar Association of occupied Kashmir, Zafar Qureshi in a media interview said that the Indian authorities had replaced the draconian laws, POTA and TADA with the Unlawful Activities Act, which was the copy of POTA and TADA. A blood donation camp was organized by the Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front in Srinagar in memory of Aalikadal martyrs. End.
