Pertinently, the Indian government is attaching the inherent properties of resistance camp and people of IIOJK who are raising their voice against Indian illegal occupation and for their demand of right to self determination as promised by the United Nations resolutions.
New delhi in a bid to put an end to the voice of freedom, using all inhumane and illegal tactics : arbitrary arrests, raids, CASO’s to intimidate hurriyat leadership but to no vail. Government of Pakistan, International community, developed world, European Union, OIC, P5, Humanitarian organisations and all freedom loving countries must come forward and make India stop undemocratic, illegal and inhuman tactics in IIOJ&K, demilitarize IIOJK and start the process of plebiscite.
