DFP strongly condemns harassment of innocent people in IoK

SRINAGAR, March 25 (SABAH): Jammu and Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party has strongly condemned harassment of Kashmiri people during cordon and search operations in Srinagar and other areas of the Valley.

In a statement in Srinagar, the DFP Spokesman Advocate Arshad Iqbal said the continued search operations, nocturnal raids and arbitrary arrests of political activists by Indian forces have created a climate of fear among the people of the Indian occupied territory.

Referring to recent raids conducted in different parts of the valley, he said, these raids were aimed at terrorizing and silencing the peace and freedom-loving Kashmiris.

“Such wicked attempts cannot deter Kashmiris from pursuing their collective cause for which they offered immense sacrifices”, the spokesman said.

The spokesman also voiced his party’s concern over the deteriorating health condition of incarcerated chairman Shabir Ahmed Shah and other Kashmiri prisoners who continue to languishing in different jails outside Kashmir.

Seeking early release of all political prisoners, the DFP spokesman urged the world human rights bodies to take effective notice of the matter and help secure early release of all illegally imprisoned Kashmiris.
