In utter disregard to int'l-recognized disputed nature & statehood of J&K, India unilaterally & illegally annexed it: APHC Spokesman.

SRINAGAR -- Spokesman of All Parties Hurriyat Conference Jammu and Kashmir has said that in utter disregard to the internationally-recognized disputed nature and statehood of Jammu and Kashmir, India unilaterally and illegally annexed it, APHC leaders and activists were arrested and black Law PSA was excessively used.

He said that besides planned murders and arson, no stone was left unturned to change the demographic complexion of the Muslim majority state by settling non-state subjects following the footsteps of Israel. APHC spokesman said that it was under these circumstances that the organizations and leaders of APHC, hitherto, reaffirmed pledge to forge unity to take the ongoing movement for self-determination to its logical conclusion. This was not only the demand and wishes of Jammu and Kashmir masses but Quaid-e-Tehreek Shaheed Syed Ali Gilani in his life had also urged to have unity amongst all factions and forums.

He said that it would not only strengthen the movement but would also be a tribute to our martyred leaders who longed for it. He said that there was consensus that political workers and leaders of various factions of Hurriyat will henceforth work only under the banner of single APHC and shall strive to achieve the people's Right to Self Determination in accordance with the relevant United Nations Security Council resolutions and shall try to win more friends and minimize the number of foes. He said that the participants were unanimous in suggesting that the office bearers of APHC shall be democratically elected and to avoid recurrence of split all precautionary measures will be taken lest we fall prey to machinations of the occupying power, India. Steps taken by India on and after 5th August 2019 warranted unification of APHC.
