India has no moral, legal justification to celebrate its Independence Day in IIOJK

Srinagar, August 15, 2021 (PPI-OT): In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, Hurriyat leaders and organizations have said that India has no moral right to celebrate its Independence Day as it has illegally occupied the territory and usurped the fundamental rights of its people.

 

The Chairman of Tehreek-e-Muzahamat, Bilal Ahmed Siddiqui in a statement issued in Srinagar said, since 1947 India has been holding Kashmir under its colonial occupation and using cheap means and methods to crush the legitimate struggle of people for their subjugated political rights. Ironically India is celebrating its independence in the occupied territory, he added. He appealed the people of the territory to observe complete shutdown, strike and Black Day on the occasion of Independence Day of India.

 

Regarding New Delhi’s colonial orders for raising its flag and singing its anthem, Bilal Ahmed Siddiqui said, history bears testimony to the fact that if forced flags and colonial anthems would have been guarantee to legitimate occupation and colonialism, India itself till now would have been a British colony not a free and independent country.

 

The Chairman of Islamic Political Party Jammu and Kashmir, Muhammad Yousuf Naqash in a statement issued in Srinagar said that India could not subjugate Kashmiris through its unconstitutional and repressive measures. He added that not only minorities in India but also India’s neighbours are not safe from its evils. He said that unarmed Kashmiris had been fighting Indian state terrorism in the territory for last several decades, adding that India’s expansionist ambitions were a serious threat to world peace.

 

Yousuf Naqash urged the civilized nations of the world, including the countries living in South Asia, to use their influence to stop Indian atrocities in IIOJK and help Kashmiris to give them their birth right to self-determination. The spokesman of Tehreek-e-Wahdat-e-Islami Jammu and Kashmir in a statement issued in Srinagar said, India organizes its Independence Day celebrations at gunpoint in the occupied territory while Kashmiris observe Indian Independence Day as black day and record their protest against illegal occupation of Kashmir by India.

 

He said, India’s status in the territory is nothing more than an aggressive country that has occupied the Kashmiris’ motherland against their wishes. He said, India is an imperialist and expansionist country which is enforcing imperialistic laws to perpetuate its illegal and illegitimate occupation of Kashmir.

 

Jammu and Kashmir People’s Movement Vice Chairman Abdul Majeed Malik, Jammu and Kashmir Pir Panjal Freedom Movement Vice Chairman Qazi Imran, Jammu and Kashmir People’s Association Convener Khalid Shabbir and President of Muhajireen District Bagh Muhammad Shafi Kashmiri in a joint statement issued in Islamabad said India as a usurper has no right to celebrate its Independence Day in IIOJK.
