Shabir Ahmed Shah denounces Israel’s naked aggression against Palestinians

SRINAGAR, Oct 09 (SABAH): Senior Hurriyat leader and Chairman of the Democratic Freedom Party Shabir Ahmed Shah, while denouncing Israel’s naked aggression against Palestinians, has urged the international community to play its due role to stop bloodshed in the region.

In his message from Tihar jail, the incarcerated leader said that it was quite unfortunate that the world was remorselessly watching the gory death dance and destruction of Palestine by Israel.  

Shah said that the death & destruction on such an enormous scale was enough to stir the world consciousness.

Terming Kashmir and Palestine as two sides of the same coin, Shabir Ahmed Shah said that the people of both regions have suffered enormously at the hands of colonizers who were hell bent on erasing their identity.

Urging the global community to realize the dangers of the escalating war in the region, Shah said it was high time that the influential world governments must stop taking sides and play their constructive role to find a lasting solution to the deadly conflict that has consumed tens of thousands of lives during recent years.

He said that it was also imperative that the world should break its deafening silence on Kashmir, where people have been silenced by India’s apartheid regime that has been replicating Israel’s model in the region.

 Shah said that like Palestinians, Kashmiris were being murdered and their homes destroyed.

He said that the time has come that the international community must shun its policy of indifference towards the plight of Palestinians and Kashmiri people and come forward in a big way to resolve these age-old disputes that pose a serious threat to global security.
