The spokesman said that because of the policy of New Delhi, the youth are being pushed towards the wall, the young generation sees armed means of resistance only option available with them to fight.
Hurriyat said that delaying the resolution of Kashmir issue will cast a shadow on the peace for which the people of not just the sub-continent, but entire South Asia are yearning since past many decades. Peace would remain a challenge as long as Kashmir dispute would continue to linger on. The Hurriyat said it was high time that New Delhi must shun its approach and acknowledge the ground realities to start a meaningful exercise for the resolution of the dispute as per the wishes of its real stakeholders.
The Hurriyat condemned in strongest words, the use of forces including the firing of tear gas shells and Pava shells inside the Islamic University campus Awantipora, where students were holding a peaceful demonstration. It said that the government has been deliberately deploying a heavy contingent of forces including police and paramilitary forces around the educational institutions including universities to instil fear among the student community. The Hurriyat strongly denounced the use of force on the students at IUST. The Hurriyat also condemned the night raids in Pulwama district.
Meanwhile, APHC spokesman paid glowing tributes to the founder of JKLF Amanullah Khan on his death anniversary stating that Khan spent his entire life for the Kashmir cause and his contribution towards the movement was extraordinary.
