Srinagar: A unified front is imperative for Kashmiris in their enduring struggle against Indian oppression, emphasized representatives from civil society in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir during a recent meeting.
According to Kashmir Media Service, Dr. Zubair Ahmed Raja, Muhammad Furhan, Muhammad Iqbal Shaheen, and Syed Haider Hussain convened in Srinagar to demand the reinstatement of Articles 370 and 35A, an end to the ongoing atrocities, and an immediate resolution to the Kashmir dispute in accordance with United Nations resolutions.
The speakers highlighted the crucial role of solidarity among Kashmiris, stating, “United we stand, divided we fall.” They noted that this unity has been key in resisting Indian attempts to quell their freedom movement. “The collective will of the Kashmiris serves as a formidable shield against Indian aggression,” they asserted, underlining that only through unity can they effectively confront the might of the Indian state.
Furthermore, the representatives called on the international community to end its silence and support the Kashmiri people in their quest for self-determination. “The world must stand with Kashmiris in their rightful pursuit of self-determination,” they declared, expressing a firm belief that the Indian occupation will ultimately be undermined by the persistent unity and commitment of the Kashmiri people to their cause.
