Srinagar, July 18, 2023 (PPI-OT): In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, Jammu and Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party (JKDFP) has praised the steadfastness of its chairman Shabbir Ahmad Shah on the completion of six consecutive years in Indian captivity. The DFP in a statement issued in Srinagar said, exactly six years ago, Shabbir Shah was arrested in the manner of kidnapping from Srinagar by India’s dreaded agency and taken to the infamous Tihar Jail in New Delhi.

It said, although hundreds of pages of so-called charge-sheet have been filed against Shabbir Shah, the fact is that no single evidence has been provided to substantiate the allegations against him. This is the reality of Shabbir Shah’s 37-year prison life, it added. The DFP said that Shabbir Shah was forced to spend half of his life in various prisons, interrogation and torture cells, but each time he was released because his politics is transparent. “He wants the Kashmir dispute to be resolved according to the will of the Kashmiri people and that is his politics. He believes in dialogue, but he is not afraid of calling the oppressor an oppressor,” it maintained.

It said, even today Shabbir Ahmad Shah along with Muhammad Yasin Malik, Masarrat Aalam Butt, Pir Saifullah, Ayaz Akbar, Nayeem Ahmad Khan, Merajuddin Kalwal, Shahid-ul-Islam, Aasiya Andrabi, Naheeda Nasreen, Fehmida Sufi, Dr Ghulam Muhammad, Syed Shahid Yusuf, Syed Shakeel Ahmed, Farooq Ahmad Dar and thousands of other political prisoners is scripting an unforgettable history of resistance. The DFP appealed to all justice-loving powers of the world to take steps to resolve the Kashmir dispute in accordance with the aspirations of the Kashmiri people and save the peace of South Asia from being ruined.
