and ensure that both the nuclear powers shun the confrontational approach and start a process to resolve the long pending dispute of
Kashmir. He urged upon both the countries to start a meaningful process so that loss of precious lives on both sides of the LoC and IB is stopped forthwith. Moulana Tari said that the ongoing skirmishes between India and Pakistan have compelled hundreds of families to migrate to safer places while as they are facing loss of human lives and property.
Molana Tari stressed that incarcerated JKDFP chief, Shabir Ahmad Shah has time and again warned that if the Kashmir dispute is not resolved according to the wishes of the people, the situation between Indian and Pakistan can take an ugly turn anytime which can engulf the entire region and lead to a full-fledged war.

JKDFP condemns Army firing on Shopian villagers.
|
|
Srinagar May 22 : Condemning Indian Army for opening fire on unarmed civilians at the time of ‘Iftaar’ in DK Pora village of
Shopian, Jammu Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party (JKDFP) has said that such incidents vindicate that India does not need Kashmiri people but it is only interested in the land of
Kashmir. A JKDFP spokesperson while condemning the Army action said that people of DK Pora Shopian have set an example by refusing ‘Iftaar’ of the occupied forces and this has once again proved that Kashmiri people cannot be lured by mere
gestures. This also should act as writing on the wall for New Delhi and it must now understand the fact that unless and until
Kashmir's are given right to self determination they cannot be silenced even by using brute forces against
them. Praying for the speedy recovery of injured girls, the JKDFP spokesperson said that it is shameless to open fire on women after people politely rejected Army’s ‘Iftaar’. This proves that Indian Army has not any goodwill for Kashmiri people and it can kill them even at the time of
‘Iftaar’. Terming the so called gestures like ‘iftaar’ parties as futile, JKDFP spokesperson said that Jammu Kashmir people are fighting for their right to self determination, as promised to them by international community. If India accepts this right only, the Kashmiri people will accept every gesture of India.

Kashmir's want resolution not cosmetic measures :
JKDFP

Party remembers Shaheed-e-Millat, Shaheed-e-Hurriyat and Martyrs of Hawal
Srinagar MAY 20 : Asserting that Kashmir dispute cannot be resolved through so called development or mere cosmetic measures, but by practical political steps, Jammu Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party (JKDFP) has said that Kashmiri people are fighting for their right to self determination, as promised to them by international community through various United Nations Security Council (UNSC) resolutions.JKDFP spokesperson said in a statement, had political issues been settled through deceptive politics, India would have still been under the British occupation. It was the political will of then Indian leadership, and the resolve of the people that British imperialistic state had to vacate the country. Same is the case with Kashmir today and ironically New Delhi is playing the role of British
now. The people of Jammu Kashmir have time and again resolved that they want an end to their miseries which is only possible when they are allowed to enjoy their right to self determination. For this, Kashmiri people have rendered precious sacrifices and their freedom struggle has become costlier than that of India. JKDFP while remembering all the martyrs of Kashmir, paid rich and glowing tributes to Shaheed-e-Millat Maulana Muhammad Farooq, Shaheed-e-Hurriyat Khawaja Abdul Gani Lone and Martyrs of Hawal on their anniversaries. JKDFP spokesperson while paying tributes to Shaheed-e-Millat Maulana Muhammad Farooq, Shaheed-e-Hurriyat, Khawaja Abdul Gani Lone and Martyrs of Hawal, said that the whole Kashmiri nation is indebted to their sacrifices and are morally bound to take the mission of martyrs to its logical conclusion. The spokesperson said that the sacrifices offered by the great martyrs of Kashmir are the real assets of the freedom struggle and these sacrifices have and will always act as our inspiration and motivation.

Mode and company has waged war against Kashmiri people : JKDFP
|
|
Srinagar May 17 : Jammu Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party (JKDFP) has said that Indian government under the leadership of Narendra
Mode and his local agents have turned the disputed territory into a slaughter field where people are being killed and maimed for their different political ideologies. Expressing serious concern over the recent killings by Indian forces and strongly reacting to the Indian Prime Minister, Narendra
Mode's visit to Jammu Kashmir, a JKDFP spokesperson said that the architect of the killings in Kashmir is visiting the disputed territory only to deceive the world community about the situation in Kashmir. It is the same Indian Prime Minister who has directed its forces and local agents to kill each and every freedom loving Kashmiri and the same
Mode is staging drama of visiting the disputed region as if nothing wrong was going here. The same Indian Prime Minister has jailed not only the genuine leadership of Kashmiri people like Shabir Shah in old and fake cases but also a large number of common people only because of their love for freedom. The irony is that judiciary of India has been turned into a mere joke which is not even able to pass a mere bail order or even quash a detention order of any ailing prisoner. The same Modi government is also responsible for waging war against the freedom loving Kashmiri people at institutional level for which the local institutions have also been transformed either into propaganda tools or stooges. The JKDFP said that Narendra
Mode's visit to the disputed territory is nothing but an exhibition of arrogance. It is the same arrogance which is taking toll of Kashmiri people.
JKDFP stresses upon Indian PM, to accept the historical and ground realities of Kashmir dispute and announce on the disputed territory to resolve the dispute according to the wishes and aspirations of the people. If Modi does so, he is sure to be known as a leader with vision otherwise the disputed nature of Jammu Kashmir will continue to harm the Kashmiri people and no developmental package or project can bring them the peace for which they are even sacrificing their future generation.

Shabir Shah’s message from Tihar jail.
|
|
Srinagar May 16 : in Tihar jail, Jammu Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party (JKDFP)
Incarcerated chief Shabir Shah has expressed satisfaction over the fact that freedom struggle of Jammu Kashmir has successfully transferred to the new generation. He has said that it is proved by the fact that our youth have taken charge of the struggle and are sacrificing everything in its way. Shabir Shah’s family members recently met and found him very much aggrieved over the ongoing bloodshed in the disputed region. Shabir shah has sent the following message from Tihar
jail." I am badly hurt by the killings of our youth almost on daily basis. I can understand that killing of the youth breaks the back of their parents. I am firm believer of some thinker’s saying “if you kill one rebel, 999 new rebels are produced by his blood.” Today when I am in an 8 by 6 feet cell of Tihar jail, I find myself very small in front of the youth who are facing every sort of oppression and suppression at the hands of imperialistic elements but are steadfast. I salute the great sacrifices of youth. I just ask those elements who are on a killing spree in Kashmir, how many and how long you will kill? Tyranny has finally to end. I salute the mothers who nourish the freedom loving
sons." I want to tell New Delhi it is you who has made the Kashmir dispute bloody otherwise we firmly believe it is a political issue and can be resolved politically. But you closed every political door and started the bloody game. It is high time to accept the right to self determination of people of Jammu Kashmir which has been guaranteed by the United Nations as well. We
Kashmir's want to determine our political future and once it happens, the whole world will see that we believe in peace and development. You jailed us and thought that
Kashmir's will adopt silence but our younger generation has taken charge and pledged to take the mission to logical conclusion. “I request my people, especially to youth to remember that truth is power. We all are on a sacred mission and so must not accept defeat. I promise to safeguard your great sacrifices till my last breath. I am not tired, nor am I afraid of the hardships I am going through. Be assured that 31 years of jail has only strengthened my will of freedom. I firmly believe that freedom is our fate. I stress upon New Delhi to shun the unrealistic approach towards the Kashmir issue because it can prove costly on the peace and stability of the whole region.
Kashmir's want an end to their troubles by determining their political future once for all so New Delhi must shun its stubbornness and pave way for the final resolution of the issue.

Shun rigidity and adopt resolution process : JKDFP to New Delhi
|
|
Srinagar May 13:Jammu Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party (JKDFP) has warned that the unrealistic approach of India towards the long pending Kashmir dispute can prove costly on the peace and stability of the region where world powers are busy in securing their interests.JKDFP Secretary General,
Molina Mohammad Abdullah Tari said in a statement that Kashmir's want end of their troubles by determining their political future once for all however the Indian stubbornness and rigidity increases their plight by not only refusing their internationally accepted right to self determination but also targeting them on one pretext or the
other. India is claiming to be largest democracy of the world however it has miserably failed in listening to the democratic vices of Kashmiri people. New Delhi jailed political voices like JKDFP chief Shabir Shah and thought Kashmir will be silenced but the youth who are representing the resistance movement in their own way have proved that nations like Kashmir cannot be defeated
easily. Molina Tari said now the issue in front of New Delhi is to tackle a large number of youth who dare to face Indian bullets on their chests. No doubt Kashmiri parents are losing one after other sons but fact of the matter is that India is also vanishing from the ground in Kashmir. New Delhi will succeed in killing more and more
Kashmir's but it cannot crush the freedom sentiment of Kashmiri people. It is high time for India to shun the stubbornness and rigid approach and hear the real voices of Kashmiri people who are resisting on many fronts. By exhibiting inflexible approach, New Delhi is also risking lives of its forces personnel who have to face a testing situation which has already affected their
psyche. New Delhi must realize that killing Kashmiri freedom lovers, jailing their genuine voices like Shabir Shah and using cruel laws against them has yielded nothing, so it must adopt the resolution process to help a peaceful and
stabilized south Asian region.

Mehmood Saghar urges OIC to move beyond political rhetoric on
Kashmir
|
|
Islamabad May 10 : Appreciating the recent statement of Independent Permanent Human Rights Commission (IPHRC) of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) on human rights violations in Kashmir, the former convener of All Parties Hurriyat conference Mehmood Ahmed Saghar has said that the worsening situation in Kashmir demands that the OIC must move beyond the rhetoric and redouble its efforts to put an immediate end to bloodshed and violence in the
region. Voicing his serious concerns over the fresh wave of violence and use of excessive force against innocent and unarmed civilians Saghar said,” The international community in particular the OIC member states must take effective cognizance of the ongoing bloodshed and impress upon New Delhi to stop the unabated human rights violations in troubled
valley".He regrettably noted that Kashmir's demanding their legitimate right to self-determination were being subjected to worst kind of oppression and suppression. “Peaceful protesters are being killed, maimed and blinded by use of excessive and disproportionate force”, he said adding that people have been deprived of fundamental rights. On one hand India talks high about democracy and its so-called democratic credentials while on the other it has clamped down all the fundamental human rights of the people including the right to life, right to freedom of expression, right to peaceful protest and
assembly." The disproportionate force exercised by the Indian troops has turned Kashmir into a hell for its residents”, Saghar said adding that entire valley was virtually under a state of siege and international human rights groups have no access to the
region. New Delhi he said had chosen violence as a preferred course to kill the voice of dissent in Kashmir. “On one hand India has been using its military muscle to crush the
Kashmir's’ legitimate struggle for right to self-determination while on the other it has been denying access to international human rights watch-dogs to Kashmir”, he maintained. Given the volatile situation in the region Saghar said that it was high time that the OIC should move beyond rhetoric and member countries of the second largest organization should pool in their efforts to mount pressure on government of India to allow the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights and the Independent Permanent Human Rights Commission of the OIC to visit Kashmir to asses on ground situation in
region. Meanwhile, in a joint letter addressed to world leaders, human rights bodies as well as the Secretary Generals of the UN and Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) the DFP leaders sought early release of incarcerated party chairman Shabir Ahmed Shah whose life he said was at risk in Tihar jail owing to jail authorities’ criminal negligence.

Azadi is our fate; wait and watch : JKDFP to Gen Rawat
|
|
Srinagar May 07 ; Terming the statement of Indian Army chief General Bipin Rawat about Kashmir as provocative, Jammu Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party (JKDFP) has expressed displeasure on the confrontational statement issued by General Rawat at a time when even pro-India political parties have started understanding the sensitivity of Kashmir issue. A JKDFP spokesperson said that General Rawat’s present statement is in contrast to his last one where he had said that issues must be resolved mutually. JKDFP said that arrogant people like General Rawat will see the success of Kashmiri people with their eyes.Strongly contesting the statement of General Rawat, a JKDFP spokesperson said that history bears witness to the fact that just movements have always achieved success against mightiest military powers of the world and General Rawat must read the freedom struggle of its own country for a glaring example of that. The British were adamant to stick in India but the steadfastness of then leaders compelled them to leave the subcontinent even after the fact that people were dependent on them. The freedom loving people of the subcontinent did not surrender and finally achieved their much cherished and deserved goal of freedom.The JKDFP spokesperson said however the British left a spark in the subcontinent in the shape of unresolved Kashmir dispute which has now become a massive flame and has every capacity to engulf the whole region. The people like General Rawat do not understand the realities of the issues and issue statements only to prolong their service by making their bosses happy however General Rawat must understand that his bosses have also started to comprehend sensitivities of a dispute like Kashmir.Freedom Party strongly believes that day is not far when India has to accept the ground realities of the Kashmir dispute and come forward with a political resolution. Kashmiris, who have sacrificed a lot to achieve their goal, cannot even think to surrender before Indian military might however they believe in resolving issues politically and politely. Kashmiri people assure the world that despite provocative attitude of India they will not leave the path of patience. We firmly believe that Azadi is our fate and people like General Rawat and the whole world will see it. Just wait and watch.

frisking. The leaders said that the Shah during the meeting with his wife and daughter said that “31 years of jail could not break or weaken my resolve for freedom of Kashmir. I am as strong as I was in 1968 when I was first imprisoned at the age of
12.”The family as per the leaders also said that Shah is seriously unwell but his morale is very
high." Shah's daughter who after seeing the condition of her jailed father fell down and was brought out of the jail premises,” they said. “Shabir Shah has lost tremendous weight in his 6 by 8 cell, and has visible dark circles around his eyes. He is not able to stand properly because of weakness and backache. He gets frequent fainting attacks. As per the medical records he has been diagnosed with severe block in arteries,” the leaders said during the
presser." Irony is that as Shabir Shah was already having multiple ailments and we repeatedly pressed hard for his treatment but all went to deaf ears and Shabir Shah was not even allowed to take his regular medicines, now as his health started deteriorating further it still took jail authorities around 5 months to make the diagnoses,” they added.
DFP leaders said: “Shah has been diagnosed with diabetes mellitus, hypertension, severe heart ailments at Safderjung Hospital. He has multiple Heart Blocks for which he will require
angiographies followed by angioplasty. But nothing has been done till date in this regard.

leader." We had time and again warned the authorities in New Delhi and the local government here that Shabir Shah needs immediate treatment. He was already suffering from many ailments when he was kidnapped from Srinagar to Delhi,” they
said. The leaders said that though Shah is a firm believer of political resistance however he is being “punished by the political leadership of
India"."

Kashmiris : PaK premier

Concerned over his ‘failing health’ in Tihar jail; appeals HR
organizations to take note
Islamabad May 02 : Voicing serious concern over the “deteriorating health” of DFP president Shabir Ahmad Shah languishing in New Delhi’s Tihar jail, Prime Minister of Pakistan administered Kashmir Raja Farooq Haider Khan has asked the
international community to take effective cognizance of the" illegal detention” of Shah and “threat” to his life in the
prison." The world human rights organizations must understand and realize the dangers faced by Shabir Shah in jail and take necessary measures to ensure full protection and early release of the ailing leader”, the PaK premier said this while talking to APHC convener Syed Faiz Naqashbandi and former APHC convener Mehmood Ahmed Saghar who called on him here on Wednesday. Speaking on the occasion Khan said that Shah and other Hurriyat leaders in Indian administered Kashmir were being subjected to “systematic persecution” for spearheading the ongoing struggle for right to
self-determination. Appreciating the DFP chief’s peerless contribution in the ongoing struggle, Khan said that Shah has spent a major portion of his life (31 years) in different jails for advocating the cause of Kashmir. Paying tributes to his decades’ long peaceful political struggle for the resolution of Kashmir dispute, the PaK primer said that Shah’s undying spirit, passion and perseverance were a great source of inspiration for the young Kashmiris.Khan observed that New Delhi cannot “suppress the ongoing struggle by killing innocent, unarmed and defenseless Kashmiris or by caging Hurriyat
leaders." He also denounced in strong terms the frequent arrests and house detention of pro-freedom leaders such as Syed Ali Geelani, Mirwaiz Dr
Umer Farooq, Muhammad Yasin Malik and others. Paying tributes to Kashmiri martyrs Khan said that the day was not far when Kashmiris will achieve their cherished goal for which they have rendered matchless

Shabir Shah completes 31 years of incarceration ''An ideology is identified by the persons it’s being followed and preached
by''.
|
|
Srinagar April 29 :Incarcerated chief of Jammu Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party (JKDFP) Shabir Shah has become icon of the ongoing freedom struggle for fearlessly advocating Right to Self Determination of the people of the disputed region. This was stated by the participants of an event organized to mark the completion of 31 years of incarceration (from time to time) of Shabir Shah. The event was presided over by JKDFP Secretary General
Molana Mohammad Abdullah Tari.The participants said that the ideology of freedom which was adopted by Shabir Shah in his youthful days is being honestly followed by him till date when he is 64. The result is that imperialistic powers always find an excuse to put him behind bars.
, The man, who has chosen the path of struggle as his way of living, is steadfastly writing a new history of political resistance.
Presently when Shabir Shah has completed 31 years of incarceration, he is undergoing in solitary confinement in a small cell of Tihar jail Delhi with an open commode in
it. The office bearers, members and activists of JKDFP and a large number of his admirers across the religious and regional lines reiterate to take the political ideology of Shabir Shah forward and will leave no stone unturned in completion of his mission of
freedom. We fully support the political stance of our incarcerated leader that Kashmir is a political and humanitarian dispute which must be resolved taking into consideration its political and historic aspects and the will of its people. This is the only way out to end the ongoing bloodshed in the disputed region and confrontation between the two nuclear
neighbors of the region. We are not frightened or terrified of the illegal and illogical imprisonment of our leader but in fact are concerned about his falling health. The frontline leader of the freedom struggle is suffering from many serious ailments in the jail. We repeatedly cautioned the authorities in New Delhi and their local agents to provide suitable medical facilities to our leader whose life is otherwise in danger due to the ailments. The irony is that despite repeated directions from the judiciary as well, the jail authorities did not provide him the necessary medical facilities which Shabir Shah needs urgently. This attitude of authorities has not only diminished the Indian judiciary but also revealed the ill intentions of New Delhi and its local collaborators about Shabir Shah. We feel it is human rights organizations to act
now. The seriousness of his ailments can be understood by the fact that Shabir Shah is not able to remain standing for more than five minutes. A team of doctors recently, conducted a test of Shabir Shah which was related to neurology. The test and monitoring was conducted for 14 hours inside the jail. His Holter and other heart related tests with negative results were also repeated recently. Taking into consideration the falling health of Shabir Shah and concern shown by the people of all walks of life, JKDFP has decided to issue health bulletins about Shabir Shah twice in a month. On this occasion JKDFP salutes all those incarcerated leaders along with Shabir Shah, activists and common people who are languishing in different jails since long only for their political stance about Kashmir dispute. Since, none of the allegations against them including Shahbir Shah has been proved so far, so we call their continuous incarceration as political vendetta. JKDFP also salutes the unmatched resistance and sacrifices of our brave hearts who are sacrificing their lives in the way of freedom. It is because of their great sacrifices that Kashmir dispute is being discussed internationally. We firmly believe that our martyrs are our heroes who keep the torch of the struggle burning by their precious and sacred blood. We are indebted to the strong will of our youth who are taking the freedom struggle forward in their peculiar way. We are satisfied that the freedom struggle has passed on to our new generation successfully.

JKDFP criticizes Dulat's statement says Kashmir's know the meaning of Azadi
|
Srinagar April 23 : Reacting very sharply to the fresh utterance of former RAW chief A S Dulat in which he has said that ‘freedom Kashmiri people want actually means an accommodation within India’, Jammu Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party (JKDFP) has said that Dulat is in fact upset ever since his retirement. He was expecting a re-engagement from the government of India however when his expectations did not come true he started issuing statements only to remain in news. The former Indian spy clearly knows what Kashmiri people mean by saying ‘Azadi’ but playing cleverly and giving a message as if he alone knows the psyche of Kashmiri people, Dulat is trying to befool the government of India to get a job from it.Dulat and company well know the fact that Jammu and Kashmir is a disputed region and the people living in it demand for the Right to Self Determination as promised by India and endorsed by the whole world so that they can determine their political future. This is the only “crime” for which the country of Dulat has made the lives of Kashmiri people hell. We are being massacred, raped, jailed, maimed, thrashed,
dishonored and what not. But, despite every oppression of Dulat’s India, Kashmiris well know the meaning of Azadi and are well aware of the fact that how people like Dulat used to divide Kashmiris when they were assigned to do so. The irony is that these elements have not stopped to try to break the Kashmiri people but a lot of water has come down the Jhelum and people in our part of the world have become aware of each and every imperialistic tactic.
Dulat has rightly stated that ‘Kashmiris want honor, dignity and most of all, justice’ and we want to make it clear that all this can be possible only by means of accepting the Right to Self Determination of the people living in the disputed region. JKDFP has made clear upon the former Indian officer that the time of making promises with Kashmiri people has really gone. Now Kashmiri people do not want any ‘accommodation’ but Right to Self Determination, so no more deceptive politics please

|
|
Srinagar April 22 :Jammu Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party (JKDFP) has said that closing educational institutions every now and then in the garb of stopping Student protests is a new imperialistic tactic to damage the educational future of the Kashmiri youth. JKDFP Secretary General,
Molana Mohammad Abdullah Tari while expressing anguish over the closing of Schools and Colleges frequently said in a statement that non seriousness towards education sector at administrative level is sure to have negative impact on the future of
Kashmir. Molana Tari said that raising voice over burning and sensitive issues is a right of the Students and if this community keeps mum over issues it means that our future would be in the hands of insensitive people.

honored the student voices but it is utmost unfortunate that even students are being harassed and treated as criminals in Kashmir.

recovery .Molana Tari however stressed upon the Students to take their education very seriously and achieve a place where they can advocate their right to self determination more strongly and vigorously.

JKDFP Anguished over fresh arrest spree in Pulwama says India to Engage in resolution and shun confrontation :
|
|
Srinagar April 21: Expressing anguish over the fresh arrests of youth in Pulwama, Jammu Kashmir democratic Freedom Party (JKDFP) said that such tactics are imperialistic in nature and sure to fail before the velour of people. The party impressed upon New Delhi to follow the path of reconciliation instead of
provocation. Eleven youths have been arrested by police in last week in Pulwama on charges of taking part in protests. A JKDFP statement while condemning the arrests said that to protest is a democratic right of every citizen and snatching this right would further push the youth to wall. The arrests also impact the educational career of the youth as police always book them under fake charges hence pave the way for extreme steps from the disgruntled
youngsters. JKDFP while reiterating the policy of its incarcerated chief, Shabir Shah stressed upon India to engage in resolution and reconciliation and shun confrontation for all times to come. Instead of taking steps of reconciliation New Delhi is on path of confrontation which has already polluted the political environment of the disputed region. To clear the atmosphere of mistrust and hate it is of utmost importance to take some practical measures in order to build confidence of the people which can lead to the resolution process. We Kashmiris, as the basic party to the dispute, firmly believe that confrontation never bear positive fruits and has always consumed resources. We all are living in an age which demands settlement of disputes so that people can enjoy their lives as they wish. Political ladder is must to be followed to resolve the political disputes like Kashmir so arresting people, ignoring their rights, denying basic principles of democracy to them and speaking militarily always suffocates the air thus closes the doors of resolution.

Mehmood Saghar seeks end to bloodbath in Kashmir
|
|
Islamabad APRIL 12: Voicing his serious concern over the continued bloodbath and mayhem in Kashmir the vice president of Democratic Freedom
Party Mehmood Ahmed Saghar has urged the influential world governments to impress upon the government of India to put an immediate end to what he called the ceaseless slaughter of civilians by Indian forces in the
valley. Denouncing the killing of innocent civilians in Khudwani area of district Kulgam the DFP leader said, “Every inch of Kashmir’s soil has been drenched with innocent blood, this reckless violence and ceaseless slaughter of innocent civilians must come to an end”. He said It was quite disheartening to see that this macabre game of bloodbath goes on without any end in sight. He observed that there was nothing more appalling than the world community’s indifference towards the sufferings of Kashmiri people. Ruing international community’s silence on the issue he said “Barring a few condemnation statements no concerted effort is being made to stop this ceaseless slaughter of youths in the troubled valley or to hold India accountable for its crimes”.Saghar said that it was incomprehensible as to why the civilized world and so-called human rights defenders remain unmoved by the sufferings of Kashmiris.Urging the global community to heed the clarion call for a peaceful settlement of lingering dispute he said, ” Kashmiris are a peaceful nation; they want peace but peace with dignity and honour”. He said that India talks much of returning peace and normalcy in the state but the problem with the Indian state was that it wants peace of graveyard in Kashmir, the kind of peace when everyone who resists its illegal and forcible control over the territory is dead and buried.“War is no solution to Kashmir issue, it is a bitter reality that India is trying to run away from but sooner or later the New Delhi will have to accept this ground reality that the genuine freedom movements could not be suppressed by the use of force, killing and maiming people and snatching their eyesight”, he said adding that India must bear in mind the fact that every bullet fired at Kashmiris and every drop of blood shed on the streets of the valley further cements the resolve masses of Jammu and Kashmir. Meanwhile, the DFP office bearers meeting was held here on Thursday, which was chaired by vice president Mehmood Ahmed Saghar.

Genocide of Kashmiris must stop : JKDFP
|
|
Srinagar April 11:Terming the fresh killings by Indian forces in south Kashmir as part of the ongoing genocide of Kashmiri people, Jammu Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party (JKDFP) said in a statement that India and its local collaborators have decided to kill each and every freedom loving Kashmiri. This is the reason that every time unarmed protesters are being showed with bullets and pellets. The injuries of Shopian tragedy were still afresh in the minds of people the men in uniform massacred more youth in Khudwani
Kulgam. The Indian forces also maimed more than 50 protesters injuring the souls of Kashmiri
people. Firing bullets and pellets on protesters is sheer arrogance of power of India however New Delhi must have some lessons from the situation. The way unarmed people hit the streets and take bullets and pellets on their chests in order to save their brave hearts at gunfights sites is writing on wall for India and its local
collaborators. They must know that they can kill Kashmiris but not their freedom aspirations. If New Delhi and its agents sincerely want an end to the bloodshed they must accept that Jammu Kashmir is a disputed territory whose people are yet to decide their political future. This only can satisfy the people of Kashmir and pave way for a final resolution of the long pending dispute. JKDFP expressed concern and said that international community is not bothered over the killings and other human rights violations by Indian forces in Kashmir. It expressed shock over the cold blooded murder of Sharjeel Ahmad, Bilal Ahmad, Fazil Illahi and Aijaz Ahmad Pala by the men in uniform. The party also expressed solidarity and sympathy with the families of the slain youth. JKDFP paid rich and glowing tributes to those killed in Khudwani and prayed for the speedy recovery of the injured.

Favoring rapists is shocking: JKDFP
|
|
Srinagar April 10 : Stating that people favoring rapists enjoy political patronage, Jammu Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party (JKDFP) today said that it was alarming how these political forces attempted to deny justice to innocent Asifa who was raped and murdered in
Kathua. JKDFP said in a statement it was alarming how some lawyers backed by the communal forces, who are enjoying power in the State as well, tried to prevent the Crime Branch from filing a
charge sheet against the criminals. The attempts to encourage rapists were first made at ministerial level by invoking religion of the victim and now by lawyers by raising voice in favour of the rapists. Some criminal and communal lawyers were also raising slogans like ‘Jai Shree Ram’ clearly indicating their political inclination. This is how the communal forces are spreading venom and hatred for mere political benefits. While condemning strongly the shameful act of some
lawyers, Democratic Freedom Party said that rapists and murderers were first shielded in
Asifa-Neelofar case in Shopian and today attempts are being made to repeat the same. Had the murders and rapists of Aasia and Neelofar been punished the communal forces would not have gather courage to protest in favour of
Asia's rapists and murders.

rights. The JKDFP spokesman hailed the people of central Kashmir for exhibiting their freedom sentiment by observing complete boycott of last year’s so called elections and showing the world that Kashmiris cannot be befooled any more in the name of elections and

Srinagar March 29 : Jammu Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party (JKDFP) has paid rich and glowing tributes to Shaheed Ishfaq Majeed Wani, Shaheed Dr Abdul Ahad Guru and Shaheed Shabir Ahmad Sidiqi on their martyrdom anniversaries. A party spokesman said in a statement that Indian forces are on a killing spree in Kashmir from last three decades however they have not succeeded in wiping out the pro-freedom people of Kashmir nor they have killed and crushed the freedom
movement. Whilesssss paying tributes to the said martyrs and the four killed in
Sunderland area of Rajouri during a gunfight, JKDFP said that our martyrs are spilling out their blood to break the chains of slavery so it is our utmost responsibility to safeguard the sacrifices of these martyrs.JKDFP said that Kashmir is purely a political dispute,and every effort to crush the genuine struggle of the Kashmiris is destined to fail. The United Nations Resolutions are foundation of our freedom struggle and India is under moral, political and international obligation to resolve the Kashmir issue by holding a free, fair and impartial plebiscite in accordance with the United Nations Security Council
resolutions. Strongly rejecting the Indian propaganda against the people’s movement, JKDFP statement said that neither the paucity of time nor state repression can change the situation in Jammu Kashmir or overpower the will of the people of the region fighting for their birth right and ending the occupation. Kashmir freedom struggle is an indigenous movement in nature and substance and it cannot be linked to any kind of terrorism. The Indian propaganda across the globe against the Kashmir freedom struggle is roguish and based on falsehood.

district. Two brave hearts were martyred early today at the hands of Indian occupied forces during a gunfight in Shastargam village of

The stiff policy of New Delhi is pushing Kashmir’s educated youth to wall and forcing them to choose armed means as a form of resistance against the forcible occupation. It is only because of the prolonging of the Kashmir dispute our youth are being killed, JKDFP said and stressed on its immediate resolution according to the wishes of the people.

Kashmir turned into a big jail : JKDFP
|
|
Srinagar March 22 : Strongly condemning the arrest of fifteen persons by police in Arihal Pulwama during nocturnal raids, Jammu Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party (JKDFP) has said that men in uniform are harassing and intimidating the people of Kashmir only to make them surrender. The Indian forces have turned Kashmir into a big jail where they barge into residential houses hence violating ones privacy
rights. Police and other forces have started a new intimidating process in the valley particularly and common people are being harassed on one pretext or the other. Police and forces have started calling people at their camps like it was in nineties and people are being asking unrelated and unnecessary questions thereby causing harassment among the common masses. This is a blatant violation of the fundamental rights of the people guaranteed by every civilized ideology of the world. Jammu Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party has strongly condemned the ongoing rights violations in the disputed region and appealed the international organizations to take immediate and concrete steps to stop the men in uniform from intimidating the freedom loving
Kashmiris. JKDFP said that the repressive measures taken by the government against people and the resistance leaders is a sheer political
vendetta. Expressing serious concern over the deteriorating condition of the Kashmiri political prisoners including its incarcerated chief, Shabir Shah, JKDFP said that the common charge leveled against the Kashmiri prisoners has been being part of Kashmir’s freedom struggle which is political in nature and nothing else has been proved against them. Despite the fact that prisoners like Shabir Shah are representing aspirations of the majority people of the disputed region, they are denied suitable medical aid in jails. This, the JKDFP said will not deter leaders like Shabir Shah to propagate their political faith so New Delhi must think and act sensibly so that a way out comes out to resolve the long pending Kashmir dispute according to the wishes of the people.

Pakistan a worldly hope for Muslim world : JKDFP
|
|
Srinagar March 21 : Felicitating Pakistan on the eve of its national day, the Jammu Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party (JKDFP) today said the Pakistan Resolution, passed on this day in 1940 in Lahore, was a source of inspiration and guideline for the Muslims of Indian
subcontinent. While felicitating the government of Pakistan, its people, civil society, political, social, religious and military leadership JKDFP expressed hope that the country will move forward keeping in view its responsibility of uniting the Muslim
Ummah .Every day of every Kashmiri is a Pakistan Day as our hearts beat for Pakistan and we always pray for peace, progress, and stability of Pakistan, JKDFP
said. Since Pakistan emerged as a nuclear power, the country became the main target of the enemies. The country, prior to
becoming a nuclear nation, fell victim to many internal and external conspiracies of which the Fall of Dhaka was an open
example. Terming Pakistan as a worldly hope for the Muslim world, JKDFP statement said that we believe a strong Pakistan can play a crucial role in bringing peace in South Asia. Millions of people have sacrificed their lives for achieving Pakistan and the country has to rise to overcome its
problems. Muslim countries of the world are duty-bound to secure the interests of Pakistan and rise to protect and secure this country keeping in view its strategic importance. Pakistan is the vision of Allama Iqbal (RA), and dream of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah (RA), the country always raised voice in favour of oppressed and subjugated Muslims across the world and the undeterred role it played with regard to Kashmiris’ fight for self-determination is hidden from none.

JKDFP remembers tragedies of Chatty Singpore,
Pathribal, Brakepora
|
|
Srinagar March 19 : Remembering the victims of Chattisinghpora massacre on their 18th anniversary, Jammu Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party (JKDFP) today demanded an impartial probe into the killings of 36 innocent Sikhs in March 2000. The party said that Kashmir has become a land of tragedies only because of the illegitimate Indian military occupation. Remembering the massacred Sikhs and those who lost their lives while protesting against the killings,
JKDFP said in a statement that Chatty Singpore and Pathribal like tragedies are an eye-opener for international community to imagine the situation of Kashmir which has witnessed countless massacres over the
years. JKDFP paid rich tributes to the people killed in Chatty
Singpore and Pathribal eighteen years before and said that victims of the said massacres are waiting for the international community to act
humanly. Pertinently, the innocent Sikhs were killed in Chattisinghpora area of Anantnag district when the then US President, Bill Clinton was in India. Occupational forces killed five more innocent persons in Pathribal area of the same district after some days claiming that they were foreign militants involved in
Chatty singhpora massacre. However, later investigations revealed that the deceased persons were ordinary civilians who were killed by the Indian army personnel in a fake encounter. Later though the Indian investigating agency CBI held Indian forces responsible for the Pathribal killings however, the culprits continue to roam
free. JKDFP said that Kashmiris are being killed, massacred, humiliated and tortured so that they are compelled to surrender their political rights. The Indian political leadership is adamant to break the will of the people of Kashmir by killing them every now and then under different pretext and jailing them like JKDFP chief Shabir Ahmad
Shah. The party said that international community should take notice of the human rights violations committed by the occupational forces in Kashmir. The tragic incidents like
Chatty singhpora which took place in last three decades have shattered the Kashmiri people however they have not given up their demand of freedom. JKDFP paid homage to all the martyrs of Kashmir including Brakepora, martyred by the occupational forces and their collaborators. The party demanded investigation of all the massacres by any impartial international agency as Indian agencies are puppets and are not trustworthy.

New Delhi following Tel Aviv in Kashmir: JKDFP
|
|
Srinagar March 18 :Lashing out at Indian forces for destroying residential houses in Balhama in the garb of an encounter with three brave hearts, Jammu and Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party (JKDFP) today said that India is directly taking lessons from Israel to deal with Kashmiri freedom loving
people. A high level party delegation led by Engineer Farooq Khan today visited Balhama to express solidarity with those whose residential houses were raised to ground by Indian forces in the garb of an encounter with Mujahideen. The delegation while expressing sympathy with the affected families including that of Madhosh Balhami also paid rich and glowing tributes to Shaheed Rasiq Nabi (Owais) of
Tral, Shaheed Shabir Ahmad of Awantipora and their companion who were martyred at Balhama. The delegation members said that India is strictly following Israeli path to kill and crush the freedom movement of Kashmir by targeting our residential houses and damaging us economically. Another JKDFP delegation led by Ghulam Rasool Nawaz went to Awantipora to express solidarity with the family of Shaheed Shabir Ahmad.The JKDFP again reiterated if India is interested in ending the ongoing bloodshed in the region, it must acknowledge that Jammu and Kashmir is an internationally recognized dispute whose people are yet to decide about their political future. One after another, 18 resolutions passed by the UNSC in this regard stand legal witness to the disputed nature of Jammu and Kashmir.
The party said that due to lingering of the Kashmir dispute, the people living across the bloody line of control are facing every sort of oppression and they suffer due to day to day border skirmishes as well. JKDFP expressed deep shock over the latest killings of five members of a family in Poonch and said that unless and until India shuns its unethical stance about Kashmir dispute there can be no ending to such innocent killings as Kashmir dispute is the only reason of India-Pakistan enmity. Lashing out at Indian Home Minister, Rajnath Singh for terming Jammu Kashmir as “integral part” of India, the JKDFP said that it is Indian political leadership whose immature policies are directing its forces to crush and kill freedom loving Kashmiri people. And for this purpose political actors like Rajnath Singh issue such childish statements.
Advising Rajnath Singh to go through the pages of history, JKDFP said that continuous refusal of historical facts will surely lead to destruction in the south Asian region. The Indian stubbornness could prove very costly for the common people living in the region. So the international community must stress upon New Delhi not to take dictates from Tel Aviv and rather act sensibly by taking concrete steps to resolve the long pending Kashmir dispute taking its historical perspective into consideration.

Ideological patron of BJP and its coalition partner needs psychiatric
consultation : JKDFP
|
|
Srinagar March 17 : Reacting to the latest utterances of Hindu extremist party RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat, about the disputed region, Jammu Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party (JKDFP) today said that people like Bhagwat only spread hatred and divide people so as to achieve their interests. It is people like Bahgwat who think negative and don’t like or acknowledge things attributed to Muslims due to their mental sickness and hence need a psychiatric consultation. Stressing that Jammu and Kashmir is a disputed region which is being occupied by India only through its military might JKDFP said that history bears witness to the fact that majority of Kashmiris have never accepted Indian occupation nor have accepted India as their country.
JKDFP said in a statement that Mohan Bhagwat has openly threatened Kashmiri people by advocating usage of “strength”. The statement said that India is using the same “strength” against Kashmiri people since seven decades especially last thirty years however it has desperately failed to kill the freedom aspirations of Kashmiris. The ideologues of the present government at New Delhi and Jammu and Kashmir like Bhagwat must know that Kashmiri people don’t give heed to their utterance which are provocative and hateful in
nature's is the ideological patron of Hindu rightwing organizations, including BJP, which is in power in New Delhi and shares power with PDP in Jammu and
Kashmir. Pertinently, RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat has called for “using strength” against the people of Jammu and Kashmir and said “Kashmir is an integral part of
India" Rejecting Baghwat's statement as trash, JKDFP said that RSS chief must go through history and learn some lessons from it. Rejecting Bhagwat’s remarks of “Akhand Bharat” JKDFP statement said that mental disability of such person is evident who considers Kabul, Sri Lanka and Tibet as parts of “Akhand Bharat”. The statement stressed upon world community to look into the Indian expansionist mindset and take measures to save the people living in the region. Meanwhile, a JKDFP spokesperson has expressed satisfaction over the release of photojournalist, Kamran Yousuf from Tihar Jail Delhi. The party has said that Kamran and his family members spent stressful six months after he was arrested on fabricated charges by NIA. The spokesperson said that truth prevails at the end and time is not far when all the Kashmiri prisoners including JKDFP incarcerated chief Shabir Shah will come out of jails
honorably. The party congratulated Kamran Yousuf and prayed for his better future. The party also condemned the Indian probe agency, NIA for intimidating the sons of Syed Salahudin. Such tactics are cheap attempts to silence the political opponents.

Srinagar March 16 : Paying rich tributes to the martyrs of Balhama, Khunmoh Jammu Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party (JKDFP) has said that the sacrifices of Shaheed Rasiq Nabi Bhat (Owais) of Tral and Shaheed Shabir Ahmad Dar of Awantipora, have added to the precious freedom
movement. While expressing concern over the spurt in the ongoing bloodshed, the JKDFP said in a statement that Mujahideen are on path of sacrifice but their day to day martyrdoms is a matter of grave worry. The party paid rich and glowing tributes to Shaheed Rasiq Nabi Bhat (Owais) and Shaheed Shabir Ahmad Dar who achieved martyrdom while fighting the occupied
forces .JKDFP reiterated that if New Delhi is serious in ending the bloodshed in the disputed region, it must immediately come forward with some political measures so that the long pending Kashmir dispute is resolved according to the wishes of the
people .Nothing can prove fruitful unless India leaves its stubbornness and callous approach towards Kashmir and takes concrete steps to resolve the issue. Every justice loving person and institution is worried about the ongoing bloodshed but their mere worries cannot work unless they stress upon India to accept the hard historic realities of Kashmir
dispute. India cannot succeed in crushing and killing the freedom aspiration of the Kashmiri people by killing youth and jailing leaders like JKDFP chief Shabir Shah. So it is high time for India to read the writing on the wall so that the people living in South Asia can enjoy stability and long lasting peace

Kashmiris hold protest in Britain on Common Wealth Day,
Stress upon stopping of bloodshed,& release of Shabir Shah
|
|
Srinagar March 14 : Kashmiri Diaspora in Britain held peaceful protest on the eve of Common Wealth Day and stressed upon stopping of bloodshed in Kashmir and releasing of political prisoners of Kashmir, especially Jammu Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party (JKDFP)
incarcerated chief, Shabir Shah. Pertinently, the Queen of Britain every year hosts dinner for all the Common Wealth Members representatives, Diplomats in Britain representing different countries, Parliamentarians and other dignitaries on March 12, and talks to them on various issues. The Government of Britain this year had allowed only six Kashmiris to hold their protest near the inner gate through which all the dignitaries and the Queen of Britain
passes. The protesters were holding placards and banners depicting slogans like “Stop genocide of Kashmiris”,We want freedom” and “Free Shabir Shah” etc. At the end of the protest demonstration, the solicitor of the Kashmiri Diaspora in Britain, Irshad Malik told media that “Common Wealth member countries, especially Britain has the moral responsibility to find a solution to the long pending Kashmir dispute.” He informed that youths are being killed on daily basis in Kashmir and Kashmiri pro-freedom leaders as well as common people are being jailed every now and then. While expressing concern over the continuous incarceration of JKDFP chief Shabir Ahmad Shah, Irshad Malik told media that two decades back the human rights watch dog, Amnesty International termed Shabir Shah as “Prisoner of Conscience” and unfortunately the same “Prisoner of Conscience” is going to complete his 31 years in jails. Shabir Shah’s continuous incarceration is political vendetta as he is being targeted only for advocating for peaceful resolution of the Kashmir dispute. “Shabir Shah has been jailed in the infamous Tihar jail, Delhi after a fabricated case was registered against him last year,” Irshad Malik told media in Britain. He impressed upon the justice and freedom loving people to break their silence on the continuous incarceration of Shabir Shah.

Our brave hearts are scripting new history of
resistance : JKDFP

Party pays rich tributes to martyrs of Hakura Anantnag
Srinagar March 13 : Paying rich and glowing tributes to the martyrs of Hakura Anantnag, Jammu Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party (JKDFP) reiterated that the mission of the martyrs will be safeguarded at any cost. The party delegations today visited Soura and Wailoo to express solidarity with the families of Shaheed Eisa Fazli and Shaheed Syed Owais Shafi.Three brave hearts including Eisa Fazli and Syed Owais Shafi were martyred by Indian forces at Hakura in Anantnag district two days back. A JKDFP delegation led by Engineer Farooq Khan visited Ahmadnagar Soura, while as another delegation led by Advocate Fayaz Ahmad Sodagar visited Wailoo Kokernag to express solidarity with the bereaved families. Talking to the present audience at both the places
the JKDFP delegations said that Shaheed Eisa Fazli and Shaheed Syed Owais spilled their precious blood for the great and sacred cause of Kashmir and the entire nation is indebted to these martyrs for their ultimate
sacrifices. It is the collective responsibility of the people of Kashmir and the leadership to take the ongoing movement to its ultimate realization and achieve the goal of the
martyrs. The delegation members said that although Kashmiri people are peace loving and want the dispute be resolved peacefully but the unethical and illogic approach of the Indian state has compelled some youths to take the way of gun. These brave hearts are in fact scripting a new history of resistance by challenging the huge military might of India.
India is not considering our political rights and the people living in the disputed region have been deprived of their right to self determination that is why some of our youth have taken the extreme step only to end the Indian slavery. The sacrifices of these youths are putting huge responsibilities on our shoulders to protect the ongoing struggle and to take it to its logical end.

Drabu playing the role of Nang-e-Qaum, Nag-e-Millet: JKDFP
|
Pays tributes to Shaheed Eesa and Shaheed Owais
Srinagar March 11 : On one hand the youth like Easa Fazli and Syed Owais are laying down their precious lives to achieve freedom from the clutches of Indian slavery and on the other, the Indian agents like Haseeb Drabu are busy in maligning these sacrifices by refusing the very historical facts about the Kashmir dispute. This was stated by Jammu Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party (JKDFP) in a statement while paying tributes to Shaheed Eesa Fazli of Soura Srinagar, Shaheed Syed Owais of Kokernag and their companion. Both Eesa and Owais were martyred by Indian forces in Anantnag.Expressing concern over the day to day martyrdoms of the brave hearts, JKDFP said that this may be pleasing for the elements like Haseeb Drabu but the ongoing bloodshed bleeds every pro-freedom and justice loving citizenThe sacrifices of Shaheed Eesa and Shaheed Owais have in fact increased the responsibility of the whole nation manifold to safeguard the enormous sacrifices from the activities of elements like Haseeb Drabu. It is the day when we have to reiterate the pledge to take the ongoing freedom struggle to its logical conclusion without taking the people like Drabu into
consideration. May it be Haseeb Drabu or any other such element of the pro-India camp, their one point agenda is to malign the huge sacrifices of the nation as they are being paid by Delhi for their anti-movement utterances. The people like Drabu are in fact playing the role of Nang-e-Qaum and
Nag-e-Millet and in fact are the basic hurdles in the way of resolution of the Kashmir dispute because they provide India the basis to propagate against the people’s movement of
Kashmir. Irony of the whole matter is that when people like Drabu had to seek votes they use Kashmir issue to befool the common masses and as soon as they reach the so called throne they start vetoing the majority aspirations only to please their masters in New Delhi. They simply ignore everything even the historical facts. The people like Haseeb Drabu are hell bent to play the role of RSS agents but should remember that they cannot hoodwink people
anymore. The people like Haseeb Drabu have not only filled jails and interrogation
centers but are busy in slaughtering unarmed people and brave hearts. By their negative approach, the people like Haseeb Drabu want to change the historical facts about the Kashmir dispute but they must keep in mind that they cannot deceive and cheat the world.

Mehmood Saghar aghast over civilian killings in Shopian
|
Seeks UNHR commissioner's help in release of political prisoners
Islamabad March 7: While voicing his serious concern over the recent spate of violence in Kashmir former convener All Parties Hurriyat Conference (Pak Chapter) and vice president of Democratic Freedom Party Mehmood Ahmed Saghar has said that massacre of youth in South Kashmir's Shopian district must serve an eye-opener to world human rights organizations and so-called human rights
champions." The gory death dance by Indian forces in the valley goes on unabated, the blood of innocent youth is being shed in every high and low of the valley but it is quite astonishing to see that the so-called civilized world and rights defenders have maintained complete silence on the
issue" the DFP leader said this in a statement issued here on Wednesday.
"how long will the world remain silent on the gruesome killing and mass murder of innocent Kashmiri
youth" he asked. Expressing deep shock and grief over the latest killings Saghar said that Indian military and its paramilitary forces have waged a war against the Kashmiri people. Referring to sweeping impunity granted to Indian army under black laws, Saghar said, " Widespread death and destruction in Kashmir is the result of this pervasive culture of impunity that allows killing, torture and forced disappearances by armed forces to go unchecked in the
region". Urging the International Human Rights groups to take concrete steps to save the oppressed people of Kashmir from what he called the worst kind of state-terrorism at the hands of the men in uniform, he said that India should be held accountable for its crimes committed against
Kashmiris .Meanwhile, the former Hurriyat convener had sought the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Mr. Zeid Ra'ad Al-Hussein's support in early release of
incarcerated party chairman Shabir Ahmed Shah from Indian jail. In a letter addressed to Hussein Saghar said that Shah who was declared as prisoner of conscience by Amnesty International for his peaceful political struggle for Kashmiris' rights was being subjected to vengeance. He said that Shah who had already endured an imprisonment of more than 31 years was being victimized for his political beliefs. "Despite knowing that Shah is suffering from various acute ailments jail authorities have been denying him proper medicine and health care facilities, which happen to be the fundamental right of a political prisoner", he said adding that on one hand jail authorities were shamelessly playing with his life while on the other Indian judiciary was being used as a tool to prolong his detention, which amounts to slow poisoning and endangering his
life. Calling for early release of the incarcerated party chairman he asked the UN commissioner for human rights to impress upon the government of India to ensure safety and early release of Shabir Ahmed Shah and other prisoners.

Indian forces at war with Kashmiri people : Molana
Tari
|
|
Srinagar March 5 : Expressing deep shock and grief over the latest killings in Shopian at the hands of Indian army, and terming the situation in Kashmir as war like, Jammu Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party (JKDFP)
secretary general Molana Mohammad Abdullah Tari today said that Indian forces have become habitual of killing innocent Kashmiris on one pretext or the other.
Molana Tari said in a statement that Indian army and other forces have waged a war against the Kashmiri people and they see all Kashmiri people as conquered and think to kill every Kashmiri is their right. That is why our sons and brothers are butchered at the hands of Indian forces every now and
then. Indian army brutally killed four unarmed civilians namely Suhail Ahmad Wagay (22) son Khalid Ahmad Wagay of Pinjora, Shahid Khan (21) son of Bashir Ahmad Khan of Malik Gund,Shahnawaz Wagay (23) son of Ali Mohammad of Langandora Trenze, and Gowhar Ahmad Mir (24) of Molu Dangerpora apart from martyring two militants Amir Ahmed Malik son of Bashir Ahmed Malik of Harmain and Ashiq Ahmad of Rakpora in
Shopian .Molana Tari said that Indian armed forces have once again demonstrated that in fact they are at war with Kashmiri people and are here to kill every freedom loving Kashmiri. The killings in Shopian at the hands of Indian forces are condemnable, shameful and against the principles of humanity. In fact Indian forces have been told by the masters staying in New Delhi to kill Kashmiris whenever they get a chance, so the trigger happy men in uniform out-rightly open the mouths of their guns on every incident. They launch operations and establish nakas only to get a chance to kill people. While strongly condemning the Shopian killings, JKDFP secretary general said this ruthless and barbaric act of Indian army is the latest example of Indian imperialism which is beating the drum of democracy world over.
Molana Tari appealed the International Human Rights groups to come forward and take concrete steps to save the oppressed people of Kashmir from the worst form of state-terrorism at the hands of the men in
uniform. Meanwhile, JKDFP has strongly condemned the shifting of incarcerated resistance leaders Dr Mohammad Qasim Faktoo and Dr Mohammad Shafi Shariati to jails outside the valley. The party said that in fact our leaders including JKDFP incarcerated chairman, Shabir Ahmad Shah are being punished for their pro-freedom stance. The party stressed that the decision to shift Dr Mohammad Qasim Faktoo ,Dr Mohammad Shafi Shariati and other political prisoners should immediately be revoked.

Srinagar March 01: The Jammu Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party (JKDFP) has strongly condemned the killing of Mushtaq Ahmad Chopan during custody at Police Station
Tral. The party has also paid tributes to two guest militants killed in Hajin at the hands of occupied forces. While condemning the killing of Mushtaq in police custody, JKDFP demanded an impartial probe in the incident so that reality comes to fore. The party appealed International Human Rights Organization to come forward and play their role to stop unabated killings, bloodshed, torture and rights violations in Kashmir. JKDFP said that such killings have occurred in past also where inmates were killed and tortured by the government forces in custody but they had been given a different
color. The party condemned the ongoing rights violations in nook and corner of the valley.
JKDFP said that youth are being summoned to police stations and army camps which have created fear among the masses. Dozens of youth have migrated to other places to avoid their arrest hence spoiling their educational career. The party paid tributes to two guest militants martyred in Hajin at the hands of Indian forces. The party also expressed concern over the disappearance of Kashmiri MBBS student Suhail Ajaz in
Odisha.

Medical staff mocks Shabir Shah for advocating freedom of
Kashmir, Jailed leader reveals before the Court
|
|
Srinagar February 26 : The incarcerated chief of Jammu Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party (JKDFP) Shabir Shah has revealed before the Patiala House Court Delhi that medical staff in Delhi mocks him for demanding freedom from India putting his life in danger. Shabir Shah was brought to a court in Delhi yesterday where he told the judge,
Sidharth Sherma “whenever I am taken to any hospital for checkup, the health authorities ask me sarcastic questions that I am the person who wants
Azadi, I want freedom from India etc.” Shabir Shah stressed the court that he may be provided medical facilities as he is suffering from multiple life risking
ailments. Expressing deep and serious concern over the continuously deteriorating health of Shabir Shah, his family has stressed the governments in New Delhi and Jammu Kashmir to take practical measures for providing suitable medical facilities to the ailing leader. “Instead of treating him, the doctors are passing objectionable remarks against him which is totally against medical ethics,” the family of the ailing leader
said. The family of Shabir Shah has been continuously filing applications in the Patiala court regarding his medical care as he is suffering from multiple life risking ailments. The medicines which Shah has been prescribed by the super specialists of Fortis Delhi and SKIMS Soura Srinagar are not available in the Tihar jail hospital
dispensary .Shabir Shah's case was heard at Patiala House court on Monday after a gap of one and half month. As usual no witness appeared in the court and so the case was once again listed for another date on 16th march 2018.
Pertinently, there is absolutely no progress in the case since the so called charge sheet was filed against Shabir Shah some five months back. Since then only dates are being fixed by the court just because the witnesses of ED do not appear in the court thereby prolonging the illegal detention of Shabir
Shah. These tactics are being repeated only to break the political will of Shabir Shah who has spent more than half of his life in different jails for advocating just cause of freedom. New Delhi could not break the will of Shabir Shah nor could it crush the ongoing freedom struggle of Kashmiris so it is better for India to read the writing on wall and take concrete measures to resolve the long standing Kashmir dispute.

their lives :Mehmood Saghar
|
|
Islamabad February 22 : Voicing his serious concern over the authorities’ move to shift Kashmiri prisoners to Jammu, the vice president of Democratic Freedom Party and former convener of All Parties Hurriyat Conference (Pak chapter) Mehmood Ahmed Saghar has termed it as a “deliberate attempt to penalize them
further." Shifting political prisoners and lifers from Srinagar central jail to outside jails reflects government authorities’ bias and prejudice against Kashmiris”, Saghar said in a statement issued here on Thursday.
“The move is a pressure tactic aimed at inflicting miseries to pro-freedom activist and their families. Indian authorities were using all its oppressive measures to suppress the voice of dissent in Kashmir,”hah and all other political
prisoners. he said. Referring to incidents of thrashing of Kashmiri inmates in Tihar jail, Saghar said that “notwithstanding the constant threats meted out to Kashmiri prisoners the Indian authorities seem hell bent on to shift political prisoners from central jail Srinagar to Jammu. This tantamount to putting their lives at serious
risk." The notorious Kotbalwal, Kathua and Tihar Jails have become death traps for Kashmiris”, he said adding that “ruthless thrashing of Kashmiri prisoner by jail authorities and life threat to the DFP chairman Shabir Ahmed Shah in Tihar jail speak volumes about the vulnerable situation Kashmiri prisoners were going
through." Terming it as a “deliberate attempt to play with the lives of Kashmiris,” the DFP leader said, “It is a clear manifestation of Indian authorities’ deep-rooted bias and prejudice against Kashmiris”,Voicing his concern over the plight of Kashmiri prisoners languishing in different jails outside the state he said that the international human rights organizations must come forward and pressurize the government of India to ensure safety and security of Shabir Ahmed

Rape victims from Kunan Poshpora to Shopian want justice: JKDFP
|
|
Srinagar February 21 ; Jammu Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party (JKDFP) has expressed concern over the fact that mass rape victims of Kunan Poshpora are continuously denied justice on the institutional level and the culprit army soldiers are rooming free even after 27 years of the shame incident. The party said that had the criminals of Kunan Poshpora been brought to book, the criminal elements would have not gathered courage to raise tri-color in favour of rapists in
Kathua. Describing the Kunan Poshpora mass rape incident as a proof of war crimes committed by Indian forces in Jammu Kashmir, JKDFP secretary general,
Molana Mohammad Abdullah Tari asked international bodies to probe it so that the culprits are
penalized and justice is done. The Kunan Poshpora incident occurred on February 23, 1991, when units of Indian occupational forces raped scores of women in the garb of search operation.Molana Tari said that the Human Rights organizations including Human Rights Watch have reported that the number of raped women could be as high as 100.Moulana Tari said that the J&K High Court has stayed re-investigation in the incident which speaks volumes about the justice denial mood of the government institutions. Even after 27 years of the inhuman and beastly act in Kunan-Poshpora, the involved army officer or personnel have not been brought to book. This case is deliberately hushed up and the successive state regimes have played a criminal role in this regard as till date they never made any sincere attempt against the
culprits. He said that India has been using rape as a war weapon against the freedom loving Kashmiris and irony is that New Delhi is successfully deceiving international brethren about the facts in Kashmir. It has become possible only because of the criminal role of the pro-India politicians of Kashmir who act as collaborators.
Molana Tari appealed the local Human rights organizations to raise the issue more vibrantly so that rape victims from Kunan Poshpora to Shopian could get justice.

65 year old man’s killing result of brutal occupation: JKDFP
|
|
Srinagar February 19 : Terming the killing of 65 year old person, Syed Habib-ullah of Soibug, Budgam at the hands of Indian forces the result of brutal occupation; Jammu Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party (JKDFP) has said that heavy
militarization has made Kashmir a place where living has become very difficult. This
was stated by a JKDFP delegation led by Engineer Farooq Khan who visited
Soibug to exhibit solidarity with the bereaved family of late Syed Habib-ullah. While terming the killing of Syed Habib-ullah as inhuman, the JKDFP delegation said that there can be no worse a concept of human rights violation than his killing. The Indian forces have been provided license to kill each and every Kashmiri whenever they like, the delegation said. Irony is that human rights activists and defenders in New Delhi are mere spectators to the plight faced by innocent freedom loving Kashmiri people. The silence of Indian media is also criminal which is defending the atrocious acts of Indian forces in Kashmir.
While strongly denouncing this dastardly act of killing Syed Habib-ullah by trigger happy Indian forces, JKDFP expressed sympathy with the bereaved family.

So India must release political leaders and allow their activities to pave way for a political resolution. Stubbornness has impacted negatively and will continue to harm not only Kashmiri people but Indian nation as well which is desperately fighting for a regular membership at UNSC.

On February 11, Bulla registered strong protest against the infamous Indra-Abdullah accord in Sopore Chowk. On the same day he was arrested and severely tortured. He was immediately shifted to Srinagar Central jail. Bulla’s woes did not end in the jail as well. The torture continued and Bulla fell seriously ill. Instead of providing Medicare to him, the jail authorities perpetually tortured him. Finally, the incessant torture proved fatal and Bulla succumbed on February 15. A JKDFP statement said that Shaheed Bulla was a brave young Kashmiri, and remained committed to the cause of Kashmir’s freedom to the end of his short life. It was after his martyrdom that the youths of Kashmir ventured their indigenous enduring, which bore fruits in the next two decades. His day of martyrdom is remembered every year and people pay tribute to the martyr of freedom proving that people of Kashmir have not given up their demand for political
rights. A native of north Kashmir’s Sopore, Ghulam Muhammad Bulla has a credit to resent what he called the occupation of Kashmir by Indian troops soon after 1947.

Guru. "Shaheed Maqbool Bhat and Muhammad Afzal Guru were the torch bearers of the ongoing movement and their peerless contribution and indomitable role in the freedom movement would be remembered for a long time in the history of Kashmir", Saghar said in press statement issued here on
Friday. Terming Guru's hanging as blot in the face of Indian judiciary Saghar said, "It was a clear case of miscarriage of justice". Referring to JKLF co-founder Muhammad Maqbool Bhat the DFP leaders said that it was no secret that his trial was also shrouded in controversy. He said that both the cases have amply exposed Indian judiciary’s partiality and prejudice against Kashmiri people. He said that it was quite ironic that after committing judicial murder both were executed and buried in the premises of Tihar Jail. He said that India denied the last rites to be performed by their families by not returning the mortal remains to them which amounts to a brazen violation of the basic human
rights .Saghar also expressed his gratitude to the government as well as the people of Pakistan for expressing solidarity with the people of Kashmir. He expressed the optimism that Pakistan will continue to raise voice for Kashmiris at all national, regional and international forums.

JKDFP organizes function at Sopore, Shaheed Guru, Shaheed Bhat remembered
|
|
Srinagar February 8: Jammu Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party (JKDFP) today organized a function at Sopore in Shaheed Mohammad Afzal Guru’s ancestral home to exhibit solidarity with the family and to remember Shaheed Mohammad Afzal Guru and Shaheed Mohammad Maqbool Bhat on their martyrdom anniversaries. The party said that those who laid down their lives for the sacred cause of freedom are the real national and Milli heroes of Kashmiri
people. The Freedom Party delegation which participated in the function despite strict government restrictions at the residence of Shaheed Afzal Guru was led by Engineer Farooq also included Peer Anayatullah, Mohammad Amin, Rameez Ahmad, Ashiq
Hussein and Ghulam Mohammad Muqdam. The delegation members while deliberating paid rich and glowing tributes to Shaheed Afzal Guru on his fifth martyrdom
anniversary. The JKDFP delegation members while addressing the present gathering at Boabgah, Sopore said that Shaheed Afzal Guru was hanged secretly only, “to satisfy the collective conscience of India” hence dishonoring the principles of humanity and justice. The delegation members said that JKDFP chief, Shabir Ahmad Shah is currently imprisoned in the same infamous Tihar jail for advocating the just cause of martyrs where Shaheed Afzal Guru and Shaheed Maqbool Bhat were hanged and buried. This has proved beyond doubt that Kashmiri people have not given up their political demand rather it has become more and more vibrant after the sacrifices of Shaheed Guru and Shaheed Bhat. India has been killing our freedom loving brethren ever since 1947 but New Delhi crossed all moral limits when it jailed even the remains of Shaheed Mohammad Maqbool Bhat and Shaheed Mohammad Afzal Guru in
Tihar .We stress upon the justice loving people and organizations of the world to help the families of Shaheed Guru and Shaheed Bhat to attain the remains of their martyrs, JKDFP delegation members said. We will never give up our demand that the remains of our beloved martyrs should be handed over to us, they
added. Shaheed Guru and Shaheed Bhat laid down their lives for the cause of freedom and they provided us a lesson not to surrender before oppression and suppression. We pledge to take the mission of Shaheed Guru and Shaheed Bhat to its logical conclusion, they
said. India martyred Shaheed Guru and Shaheed Bhat to crush the freedom aspiration of Kashmiri people but failed because our struggle got momentum by their precious blood. So it is high time for New Delhi to read writing on the wall and understand that Kashmiris are not going to surrender their just political demand.

Observe shutdown on Feb 9th and 11th : JKDFP.
|
J&K people have not forgotten their martyrs
Srinagar February 6 : Terming Shaheed Mohammad Afzal Guru, Shaheed Mohammad Maqbool
Bhat and all the martyrs the national and Milli heroes, Jammu Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party (JKDFP) appealed for complete shutdown on February 9th and 11th to observe the martyrdom anniversaries of Shaheed Mohammad Afzal Guru and Shaheed Mohammad Maqbool
Bhat. Paying rich tributes to Shaheed Guru and Shaheed Bhat on their 5th and
34th martyrdom anniversaries respectively, JKDFP said that these ideological martyrs are the torch bearers of the resistance movement.
Shaheed Mohammad Maqbool Bhat and Shaheed Mohammad Afzal Guru were hanged and buried in the infamous Tihar jail Delhi in 1984 and 2013
respectively. Pertinently, JKDFP chief, Shabir Ahmad Shah is currently imprisoned in the same jail for advocating the just cause of
martyrs. India has been killing our freedom loving brethren ever since 1947 but New Delhi crossed all moral limits when it jailed even the remains of Shaheed Mohammad Maqbool Bhat and Shaheed Mohammad Afzal Guru in
Tihar. “We appeal to the justice loving people and organizations of the world to help the families of Shaheed Bhat and Shaheed Guru to attain the remains of their martyrs,” JKDFP said in a statement adding “we will never give up our demand that the remains of our beloved martyrs should be handed over to us.”Shaheed Maqbool Bhat and Shaheed Afzal Guru laid down their lives for the cause of freedom and they provided us a lesson not to surrender before oppression and suppression. “We pledge to take the mission of Shaheed Guru and Shaheed Bhat to its logical conclusion,” JKDFP
said. India martyred Shaheed Bhat to crush the freedom aspiration of Kashmiri people but failed because after the martyrdom of Shaheed Bhat our struggle got momentum by his precious blood. Five years before India murdered Shaheed Guru to “satisfy” its “national conscience” but Kashmiris still demand freedom from India, so New Delhi should read writing on the wall and know once for all that Kashmiris are not going to surrender their just political
demand. Paying rich tributes to all the martyrs JKDFP said that people will never ever forget their sacrifices because we are a living nation.

JKDFP thanks Pakistan for observing ‘Kashmir Solidarity Day’
|
|
Srinagar February 5:Thanking Pakistan for observing Kashmir Solidarity Day, and reiterating its full support to the oppressed Kashmiris, Jammu Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party (JKDFP) today said that Pakistan is the only country which supports Kashmiri people
unconditionally .JKDFP in a statement said that party’s incarcerated chief Shabir Ahmad Shah has always appreciated the support of Pakistan towards the freedom struggle of Kashmiri people at diplomatic, political and moral
fronts. For the past seven decades, despite difficult and testing times for the country itself, Pakistan is continuously trying its best to advocate the case of oppressed Kashmiris on international
forums. The JKDFP tanked the Government of Pakistan and people who have always extended all possible support to the political movement of Jammu Kashmir and for the resolution of Kashmir
dispute .The JKDFP said that not only the political rights but religious rights of the people of Kashmir are being curtailed by the use of naked force by Indian forces and their collaborators since last seven decades. In such a situation, Pakistan is the only worldly support for Kashmiri people which raises the human rights issues at relevant quarters and tries to convince the international community to address the Kashmir dispute which has become a nuclear flashpoint and has endangered the peace and stability of the south Asian
region. Reiterating the political stance of its ailing and jailed chief, Shabir Shah, the JKDFP said that unless Kashmir dispute is addressed in its historical perspective the ongoing bloodshed will continue. The Kashmiri people are not only attacked and targeted in their homeland but the Indian states only because they want the fulfillment of the promises made to them by India. Even Kashmiri prisoners are denied suitable medical aid in prisons.

Killings, arrests, restrictions cannot resolve Kashmir
tangle : Molana Tari
|
|
Srinagar February 2 : Terming the heavy miniaturization as the main reason behind the killing of five innocent youths including two minors at the hands of Indian forces in south Kashmir’s Shopian district during last one week, secretary general of
Jammu & Kashmir democratic freedom party Molana Muhammad Abdullah Tari has said that stopping people from performing their religious obligations by imposing restrictions has become a norm in the disputed region.
Molana Tari said in a statement that first a 17 year old minor, Shakir Ahmad was murdered by Indian forces in
Changed village of Shopian where two brave hearts, Firdous Ahmad and Sameer Ahmad were martyred by Indian forces during a gunfight. The people of nearby Ganowpora village were still in mourning and the Indian army fired upon the mourners killing three youths including Javed Ahmad, Suhail Lone and Reyes Ahmad. Two young women were also fired and injured who are battling for their lives. Another minor, 10 years old Musharraf Fayaz, who had sustained injuries at Chaigund encounter site succumbed to his injuries taking the death toll of civilians to
five. Molana Tari said that when people decided to raise their voice against this genocide, the administration imposed strict restrictions only to vindicate that Kashmir has practically become a military state where anybody can be killed or arrested at the will of the men in uniform and nobody is allowed to raise his voice in a democratic way. It has also proved that the men in uniform are the real rulers of the disputed territory.This attitude is the result of the rigid and illogic policy of New Delhi towards the Kashmir dispute. The result of such rigidity is nothing but bloodshed. Since Kashmir dispute is political in nature, so it needs political measures to resolve this dispute as per the wishes of the people. Neither killings nor arrests can produce positive results nor can such atrocities change the historical facts about Kashmir. If the dream of peace in the south Asian region is to be fulfilled India must shun the path of inflexibility and come forward with political measures. This has been the basis of DFP incarcerated chief Shabir Shah’s politics as well,
Molana Tari said.

Delhi court rejects bail plea of Shabir Shah.
|
|
New Delhi, February 01 : A Delhi court has rejected the bail plea of senior leader of All Parties Hurriyat Conference, Shabir Ahmed Shah, in a false case of money laundering registered against him in 2007.Additional Sessions Judge, Justice Sidharth Sharma, who had in August last year denied the relief to
Shabir Shah citing the ongoing probe, dismissed his fresh bail plea.In his bail application filed through Advocate M S Khan, the APHC leader had told the court that investigation into the case was complete as the Indian investigating agency, Enforcement Directorate, had filed its
charge sheet and there was no possibility of hampering the probe by him. The
court had on 22 August last year rejected Shabir Shah’s earlier bail plea after the ED stated that it was probing the case.

Summoning a woman repeatedly has become
intolerable : Molana Tari
|
| Srinagar February 1:Terming the repeated so called questioning of Dr
Bilquees, wife of its incarcerated chairman, Shabir Ahmad Shah at the hands of ED as highly condemnable, the Jammu Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party
(JKDFP) has said that continuously summoning a reputed woman has become intolerable now. JKDFP Secretary General,
Molana Mohammad Abdullah Tari has asked Indian authorities the reasons behind summoning of Dr
Bilquees repeatedly when ED has already submitted a so called charge sheet
against Shabir Shah languishing in Tihar jail. Molana Tari said that government is playing delaying tactics just to prolong the illegal detention of Shabir Shah and summoning his wife every now and then is nothing but a policy to hoodwink.
Molana Tari strongly condemned the grilling of a woman for hours together at the hands of ED officials. Tari said that
when nothing has come out against the senior resistance
leader, Shabir Shah ED is upset and in the process has even
forgotten moral values. The Indian agency is targeting close
relatives of Shabir Shah only to prolong his illegal
detention. Asking the same questions again and again proves
that ED has nothing against either Shabir Shah or his wife but
the Indian agency on the directions of the rulers is hell bent
to trouble Shabir Shah and his close relatives. The repeated
trauma Dr Bilquees is compelled to pass through is paining not
only JKDFP but the whole Kashmiri nation. Instead of issuing
bail to Shabir Shah who has been put behind bars for no
reasons, Indian authorities are using shameless attempts to
somehow prolong his detention. Terming not bailing out the
incarcerated leader by court, as unfortunate, Molana Tari said
that justice loving people of India should ponder on their
judicial system .Meanwhile, Molana Tari has expressed deep
grief and sorrow over the passing away of Reyes Ahmad, a
Shopian youth who was hit by bullets fired by Indian army on
January 27.JKDFP said that on one hand India is hell to put
the political leadership behind bars and on the other forces
have been given free hand to kill Kashmiri youth. The whole
nation is saddened by first murdering of Shakir Mir and then
Javed Bhat, Suhail Lone and Reyes Ganai. |

|
New Delhi, January 31 : The Indian Enforcement Directorate (ED) has once again summoned the wife of senior APHC leader,
Shabir Ahmed Shah, who is lodged in Delhi’s Tihar Jail for the past several
months Shabir Shah’s wife, Dr Bilquees, in a media interview said that she was grilled for seven hours by the ED for questions that she had answered many times earlier. “Today I was made to reply to all those old questions about my job, livelihood, education of my children, bank details, earnings, property, etc,” she
added .Dr Bilquees said that she objected to answering questions whose answers she had already given in writing many times, and added that
Shabir Shah’s nephew was also questioned for 10-12 hours." Nothing has been found against
Shabir Shah till date. It has made the ED officers more frustrated, because of which they also grilled his nephew. And today I was made to reply to
all those oldquestions
" She
added. It is to mention here that the Indian authorities have
illegally detained Shabir Ahmed Shah in New Delhi’s infamous
Tihar Jail in a fake case registered against him. A charge-sheet
has been filed against him by the ED. |
Shabir Shah getting only
dates of hearings from Court:JKDFP |
Srinagar January 30:Jammu
Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party (JKDFP) has strongly condemned
the use of delay tactics in issuing a bail to its incarcerated
chief Shabir Ahmad Shah in a fabricated case. Shabir Shah’s
bail application was not even heard today and the next date
was fixed on January 31.JKDFP said that the case against Shabir
Shah sahib is not even argued and they issue long dates of
new hearings. Once the date comes nearer the case is postponed
for no reasons. Terming it a fixed match, the JKDFP said that
the Judge left the court room for some time and he conveyed
about the next date of hearing through someone there. Terming
not bailing out the incarcerated leader by Court, as delaying
tactics just to prolong the illegal detention of Shabir Shah,
the DFP said that justice loving people of India should ponder
on what is going on with Shabir Shah in a Delhi court. During
the last hearing of the case which was 10 days back Shabir
Shah’s wife had appealed through an application about the
deteriorating health conditions of Shah Sb. The jail authorities
were ordered by the court to submit the health status report
of Shabir Shah but till date nothing has been done so for.
Till date not even a single court order regarding the health
of Shabir Shah has been honored by the Tihar jail authorities.
The ailing leader has not been provided any medical aid despite
multiple Court orders. The Tihar jail authorities are hence
endangering the life of Shabir Shah. |
Mehmood Saghar aghast over
civilian killings |
Islamabad January 30 : Voicing
serious concern over killing of youths by government forces
in Kashmir, senior vice president of Jammu Kashmir Democratic
Freedom Party Mehmood Ahmed Saghar has said that “Kashmir
has been turned into hell for its inhabitants." Recent killing
spree of youth in south Kashmir has proved it beyond doubt
that New Delhi wants to choke every dissenting voice in Kashmir
by the dint of force,” Saghar said in a statement. Expressing
solidarity and sympathy with the bereaved families of youth
who were killed by Army in Shopian, Saghar said “every single
bullet fired by Indian army fortifies the resolve of Kashmiris
and every drop of blood being shed on the streets of Kashmir
nourishes the cause for which hundreds and thousands of Kashmiris
have sacrificed their precious lives"." New Delhi must bear
in mind the fact that Kashmiris have rendered tremendous sacrifices
for achieving right to self determination and they cannot
be silenced by bullets and pellets,” he said. |
JKDFP lashes out at MLA
Ravinder Raina for justifying Shopian killings |
| ·Srinagar January 29:Jammu
& Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party (JKDFP) has lashed
out at BJP’s communal MLA, Ravinder Raina for justifying the
innocent killings at the hands of Indian army in Shopian.
JKDFP said in a statement that only a sick minded like Ravinder
Raina can say “army did the right thing by opening fire”.
Raina and company must note that Kashmiri people cannot give
up their legitimate political demand because of the statements
of communal forces of India. It is better for people like
Ravinder Raina to consult any psychiatrist rather than barking
in the so called assembly. The DFP said that elements like
Ravinder Raina are responsible for the bloodshed at the hands
of Indian forces because the men in uniform get encouraged
by these goons who get pleasure out of killings of human beings.
The JKDFP statement said that Ravinder Rain's mental sickness
has in fact exposed the so called rulers who for deceiving
common people shed crocodile tears on civilian killings. But
the people know that those who shed crocodile tears enjoy
power by the support of the elements like Ravinder Riana.
The communal elements like Ravinder Raina must remember that
Kashmiri people have never forgotten the human values even
after facing at the hands of the Indian forces. We stress
upon India to exhibit maturity and accept the historical facts
about Kashmir dispute and shun the policy of stubbornness
so that precious lives are saved. Arrogance of power, stubborn
and inflexible approach of India is the basic cause of the
ongoing bloodshed in Kashmir. Meanwhile, the JKDFP has condoled
senior Hurriyat leader Agha Syed Hassan Budgami Al-Moosavi
Al- Safvi on the passing away of his maternal uncle, Agha
Syed Mohammad Fazlullah. Paying tributes to the deceased soul,
the DFP said that he was a known religious scholar. The party
prayed for the forgiveness of the deceased and patience of
the bereaved. |
JKDFP aghast over Shopian
innocent killings |
| Srinagar January 28:The
Jammu Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party (DFP) has strongly
reacted to the killing of two unarmed civilians and injuries
to many others in indiscriminate firing by Indian forces at
Ganowpora village of Shopian district. Condemning the student’s
killings, the secretary general of the DFP, Molana Mohammad
Abdullah Tari said in a statement that our young sons are
being killed with impunity but no one among international
community seems to bother. Praying for the slain youth, Javed
Ahmad and Suhail Ahmad, Moulana Tari expressed sympathies
and solidarity with their families. He also prayed for the
speedy recovery of those injured in Indian force’s unjustified
firing. This is a war against the people of Kashmir. The incident
is a big slap on the face of those maintaining criminal silence
over the barbaric actions of the men in uniform in Kashmir.
In fact the so- called rulers have given the forces a license
to kill Kashmiri youth. Terming the Shopian killings as cold
blooded murder, Moulana Tari said, the blood hungry men in
uniform only implement the orders of the rulers who in order
to please their masters in New Delhi are on a killing spree
in Kashmir. Showering bullets on unarmed protesters has become
a tag to the so-called rulers who have turned Kashmir into
a death valley. While denouncing the civilian killings, Moulana
Tari said, the Indian forces are showering bullets and pellets
over the peaceful protestors who even try to raise voice for
right to self-determination and it has become a routine now.
After every such innocent killing a so called probe is ordered
to deceive the people and the process goes on unabated. |
JKDFP delegation meets family
of innocent Shakir, expresses solidarity |
| Srinagar January 27:Terming
the killing of 17 year old Shakir Ahmad Mir at the hands of
government forces as a glaring example of colonial attitude
of India towards Kashmir, the Jammu Kashmir Democratic Freedom
Party (DFP) delegation toady visited Qalampora to express
solidarity with the bereaved family of innocent Shakir Ahmad.
The delegation was led by district president Pulwama Mohammad
Amin. Shakir was brutally killed by Indian forces at Chaigund
village. Two brave hearts, Shaheed Sameer Ahmad of Chaigund-Adoo
village and Shaheed Firdous Ahmad Lone resident of Ganowpora
Shopian also achieved martyrdom in the village while fighting
the Indian troops. The delegation also visited the residence
of Shaheed Sameer Ahmad at Chaigund-Adoo and paid him and
his colleague Shaheed Firdous Ahmad rich tributes. The delegation
members assured the bereaved family of innocent Shakir Ahmad
Mir that whole nation is with them in this time of grief and
sorrow. While condemning the brutal killing of Shakir and
injuring dozens other unarmed civilians the DFP delegation
members said that Indian forces are deployed in Kashmir to
kill the pro-freedom people on one pretext or the other. The
DFP delegation later visited the residence of editor daily
Kashmir Uzma, Hamid Hameed and condoled him on the sad demise
of his mother. The delegation expressed solidarity with Hamid
Hameed and prayed for the forgiveness of the deceased soul. |
JKDFP thanks people for
observing Indian R-Day as Black Day |
| Srinagar January 26:Jammu
Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party (DFP) today thanked people
of Kashmir for observing shutdown on Indian Republic Day and
observing it as Black Day. The party said that today’s shutdown
must open the eyes of New Delhi which claims of being the
largest democracy and it must confess that people of Jammu
Kashmir want a resolution to the oldest political dispute.
The DFP strongly condemned the imposing of curfew in Srinagar
areas and not allowing people to offer Friday prayers. The
local administration on the behest of its master in New Delhi
is intervening in the religious matters of Kashmiri people
every now and then which if not stopped can have dangerous
consequences. The DFP appealed people to keep the torch of
resistance burning until the goal of freedom is achieved. |

take pleasure out of killings : JKDFP |
| Srinagar January 24:Jammu
Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party (DFP) has expressed deep
grief and sorrow over the murder of a 17 year old boy Shakir
Ahmad Mir at the hands of government forces in Chaigund area
of Shopian. The party has strongly condemned the showering
of bullets on civilians resulting in the martyrdom of Shakir
and injuring of many including two young ladies Sabreena Jan
and Sumi Jan.jkDFP has said that trigger happy forces take
pleasure out of killing innocent Kashmiris and feel free to
kill and injure them as they are being awarded for these acts.
There is no accountability of forces and they are not being
asked anything after such incidents so civilian killings are
taking place in Kashmir every now and then. DFP expressed
solidarity with the parents of Shakir Ahmad. The party also
prayed for speedy recovery of all injured including Sabreena
Jan and Sumi Jan.The party paid rich and glowing tributes
to Shaheed Sameer Ahmad of Chaigund-Adoo and Shaheed Firdous
Ahmad of Ganowpora Shopian who achieved martyrdom while fighting
the Indian forces. The party said that nothing can be achieved
by the Indian policy of suppression and oppression, nor the
killings can achieve any results. It is high time for New
Delhi to shun the policy of stubbornness and accept the realities
about Kashmir dispute so that it is resolved according to
the wishes of the people. Meanwhile, DFP condoled the editor
of daily Kashmir Uzma, Hamid Hameed on the sad demise of his
mother. The party secretary general Molana Mohammad Abdullah
Tari while condoling Hamid Hameed and other bereaved prayed
for the deceased soul. |
JKDFP calls to observe Jan
26 as Black Day, remembers martyrs of Handwara, Kupwara |
Srinagar January 23:Calling
for observing the Indian Republic Day as Black Day, and remembering
the martyrs of Handwara and Kupwara on their death anniversaries,
the Jammu Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party (DFP) has said
that the carnages at Gawkadal, Handwara and Kupwara remind
us of Indian brutal occupation and oppression. Around two
hundred civilians were butchered by the Indian forces from
Jan 21 to Jan 27 in 1990 in Srinagar, Handwara and Kupwara.The
massacre of Gawkadal on Jan 21, 1990 was followed by massacres
at Handwara and Kupwara on Jan 25 and Jan 27, respectively
where around one hundred and fifty unarmed Kashmiris were
gunned down by Indian forces without any provocation. Remembering
the martyrs of Kashmir the DFP said that days like 21st Jan,
25th Jan and 27th Jan 1990remind us of sacrifices rendered
by our loved ones. These are the days for renewal and reiteration
of our commitments and today while recalling these great sacrifices
we reiterate our pledge to take forward the mission of martyrs
till the achievement of the desired goal. The nation is indebted
to martyrs who laid down their lives for freedom so we all
must pledge to continue the peaceful struggle till the achievement
of the goal of freedom. Calling to observe the 26th Jan as
Black Day, by complete shutdown, DFP said that India has no
right to celebrate the day as it is busy in brutally crushing
a democratic movement of Kashmiri people and it is using every
undemocratic means to crush and kill the people of Kashmir.
India is also silencing the voices of Kashmiris by jailing
their genuine leadership like Shabir Ahmad Shah and it has
been using its all institutions against the unarmed and peace
loving Kashmiri people who are only demanding for the fulfillment
of the promises made to them at local and international levels. |
JKDFP appeals UNMOGIP to
implement ceasefire and save human lives |
Srinagar January 21 : Expressing
serious concern over the LoC and border skirmishes of India
and Pakistan and the loss of lives on both sides, Jammu Kashmir
Democratic Freedom Party (DFP) has said that Kashmir dispute
is the only reason of prevailing tensions between New Delhi
and Islamabad. Expressing deep concern over the loss of precious
lives on both sides of the LoC and border, DFP secretary general
Molana Mohammad Abdullah Tari said in a statement that unless
Kashmir dispute is resolved in accordance with the wishes
and aspirations of people, the clouds of war and border skirmishes
between the two nuclear powers will remain. He said that Kashmiri
people living on both sides of the de-facto border have never
accepted the bloody line so it is high time to accept the
historical facts about the Kashmir dispute and address it
so as to resolve it once for all. This only can put an end
to the India-Pakistan enmity and save precious human lives
weather of armed force’s or civilians. He said that by shelling
and firing along the LoC and international border human lives
are lost. Properties are also damaged and people are compelled
to flee from their native places hence putting them under
severe psychological and physical stress. Appealing UNMOGIP
to perform its duty, Molana Tari said that it must look into
the day to day firing incidents along the LoC and inform the
United Nations about the real situation of the line which
divides Kashmir. The UNMOGIP is solely responsible to have
a close vigil on the LoC and implement the ceasefire of 1949.
The institution must impress upon India to address the political
aspirations of the people of Kashmir and implement the resolutions
passed in the UNSC from time to time. The addressing to the
resolution of the Kashmir dispute could end the border tension
between India and Pakistan, Molana Tari said. |
Perpetrators of Gawkadal
massacre are rooming free: JKDFP |
Srinagar January 20 : Jammu
Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party (DFP) has paid glowing tributes
to the martyrs of Gawkadal on eve of their martyrdom anniversary.
A senior party leader Er Farooq Khan said in a statement that
Kashmir is a land of tragedies where Indian forces have committed
massacres on every nook and corner. The Irony is that the
killers involved in these massacres have not been dealt with
as per law instead they have been promoted for killing Kashmiri
Muslims. He said that more than 50 innocent people were killed
in Gawkadal area of Srinagar on January 21 in 1990 when Indian
forces resorted to indiscriminate firing on peaceful demonstrators
who were protesting against the molestation of several women
by troops in Chota bazaar area of Srinagar, the previous night.
During the last around three decades Indian troops and police
personnel have killed more than one lakh Kashmiri people for
demanding for right to self determination. The party appealed
the international human rights organizations to play their
role in conducting impartial investigation into the incidents
of all massacres in the territory to punish the perpetrators.
In January 1990 only after the Gawkadal massacre, the Indian
forces killed more than two hundred Muslims in Kupwara and
Islamabad districts proving the fact that New Delhi had adopted
its killing policy in early nineties. While paying tributes
to all those killed in January 1990, Freedom Party leader
said that Kashmir is a land of tragedies and the Irony is
that the killers involved in massacres like Gawkadal have
been promoted instead. The party appealed the international
human rights organizations to probe all the massacres in Kashmir. |
Mehmood Saghar condemns
ED’s summon to Dr. Bilquees Shah |
Islamabad January 19: The
former convener of All Parties Hurriyat Conference Pak chapter
and senior vice president of Democratic Freedom Party (DFP)
Mehmood Ahmed Saghar on Friday condemned the ED authorities
for summoning Dr. Bilquees to its office in New Delhi and
termed the move as a scare tactic to pressurize and terrorize
the incarcerated party chairman Shabir Ahmed Shah and his
family. In a press statement the DFP leader said that the
National Investigation Agency (NIA) and Enforcement Directorate
(ED) were working on the whims and fantasies of BJP government
to pressurize resistance leadership. “The scare-tactics is
being used as a tool to force him (Shah) into submission”,
he said adding that Shabir Ahmed Shah who had devoted his
entire life for Kashmir cause and endured imprisonment of
more than 30 years won’t be cowed down by such bullying tactics.
The resistance leadership he said would never be deterred
by such mean tactics. Expressing grave concern over the latest
ED summon to Dr Bilquees he said that it was a politically
motivated move, devoid of any legal and moral justification.
“The only motive behind dragging Dr. Bilquees in such a fabricated
and baseless case, which was actually settled by an Indian
court way back in 2005, is nothing but to make matters worse
so as to pro-long the detention of Shabir Ahmed Shah”, Saghar
said .Saghar also voiced serious concern over the declining
health condition of Shabir Ahmed Shah in Tihar Jail and demanded
the international human righ ts organization to take effective
notice of the miserable plight of Shah and other Kashmiri
prisoners languishing different Indian jails. |
JKDFP condemns ED for summoning
Shabir Shah’s wife again |
Srinagar January 18 : The
Enforcement Directorate has again summoned the wife of incarcerated
resistance leader, Shabir Shah. Condemning the latest ED summon
to Shabir Shah’s wife, Dr Bilquees Shah, Jammu Kashmir Democratic
Freedom Party has said that on one hand ED has produced a
so called charge sheet against Shabir Shah and on the other
it has summoned his wife to its Delhi office. This shows that
ED is trying to prolong the detention of Shabir Shah and is
creating hurdles in his bail. A bail application of Shabir
Shah is under the consideration of a Court which is scheduled
to be heard on Jan 29 but ED has summoned Shabir Shah’s wife
on Jan 30 clearly indicating its sinister designs against
Shabir Shah. Freedom Party wants to make it clear that Shabir
Shah is the name of an ideology which cannot be silenced by
unethical, inhuman and illogical meanslike dragging a political
leader’s wife in concocted cases. JKDFP castigates Indian
army chief’s assertions, calls for political measures Strongly
denouncing and castigating the assertions made by the Indian
Army chief, General Bipin Rawat, the Jammu Kashmir Democratic
Freedom Party (DFP) has said that it seems New Delhi has deliberately
allowed its army chief to make statements on Kashmir every
now and then to create fear among the freedom loving Kashmiri
people. JKDFP Secretary General, Molana Mohammad Abdullah
Tari said in a statement that Indian army chief’s day to day
statements about Kashmir prove that New Delhi is only interested
in military approach to address the long pending Kashmir dispute.
“India has closed all political and diplomatic ways to address
the Kashmir issue,” Molana Tari said adding it seems that
India is herself interested in military solutions only which
can lead to more bloodshed and destruction .Molana Tari made
it clear that the issue of Jammu Kashmir is political in nature
and its people are struggling to achieve justice but New Delhi
is continuously creating hurdles in the way of its resolution.
It has historically ignored the sentiments of the people of
Kashmir and it is time and again resorting to the military
means. Molana Tari also made it clear that people of Kashmir
have not tired in the way of their seeking justice and it
has been proven to the world time and again. The people of
Kashmir exhibited utmost political maturity in 2008, 2010
and recently in 2016 by massive uprisings, the world stands
witness to the fact that Kashmiri people believe in resolution.
New Delhi is trying to terrify the peace loving Kashmiri people
by resorting to civilian killings, arrests and crackdowns
and using its army chief but fact of the matter is that unless
Kashmir issue remains unresolved there can be no peace, neither
in Kashmir nor in the south Asian region. Indian political
leadership needs to understand that resolution of Kashmir
dispute does not lay in the hands of army but leaders with
statesmanship. New Delhi has been using its military might
against Kashmiri people since decades together but of no result
so it is high time to shun the bloody path and take practical
political measures to address the long standing dispute |
Indian judiciary denying
justice to Shabir Shah by delaying it : JKDFP |
Srinagar January 17:Reacting
sharply to fixing of April 26 as the next day of hearing to
the bail application of its incarcerated chairman, Jammu Kashmir
Democratic Freedom Party (DFP) has said that though Shabir
Ahmad Shah is not needed for any questioning yet he is kept
behind bars only to punish him for his political stance over
Kashmir dispute. The party said that Indian judiciary is indulging
in denying justice to Shabir Shah by delaying it. To discuss
the continuous imprisonment of Shabir Shah and the concocted
case against him, the DFP convened an executive meeting which
was presided over by party Secretary General Molana Mohammad
Abdullah Tari. While addressing the meeting Molana Tari said
that a Delhi court on Tuesday directed the Enforcement Directorate
(ED) to file its reply to a fresh bail plea of Shabir Shah
by February 26. The so called investigation by ED has been
completed and the court is yet to decide about the so called
charges against Shabir Shah however the senior resistance
leader is behind the bars even without proving any allegation
against him. The court was informed that earlier his bail
was rejected on the ground that he can hamper the probe but
when it is over there was no chance for Shabir Shah to hamper
the probe. DFP meeting while strongly condemned the continuous
incarceration of its chief, said that his better half who
met him recently has expressed serious concerns over his deteriorating
health conditions. DFP reiterated its demand of providing
suitable medical aid to the ailing leader who is suffering
from many and serious ailments in the infamous Tihar jail.
Shabir Shah’s falling health has not only caused worries to
his family but to party and his admirers as well. |
Shabir Shah moves court
for bail, as wife alleges slow poisoning. |
New Delhi January 16 : A
Delhi court Tuesday directed the Enforcement Directorate (ED)
to file its reply to a fresh bail plea of Kashmiri resistance
leader Shabir Shah in a 2007 money laundering case related
to alleged terror financing, even as his wife claimed he was
being “slow poisoned” in the prison. Additional Sessions Judge
Siddhartha Sharma, who had in August last year denied the
relief to Shah citing ongoing probe, directed Enforcement
Directorate’s (Ed) special public prosecutor N K Matta to
file a reply to the fresh bail plea by February 26.In his
bail application, the accused told the court that investigation
in the case has been completed since the agency has filed
its charge sheet and there was no chance for Shah to hamper
the probe. Advocate M S Khan, appearing for Shah, told the
court that no purpose will be served by keeping him in custody.
Shah, who appeared before the court through video conference,
also said he was lacking treatment inside the jail. “Trial
is only going on because I am alive. If there is no Shah,
there will be no trial,” 62-year old Shah said. Meanwhile,
Shah’s wife Bilquees Shah, also moved an application before
the court through the Defence lawyer and claimed that her
husband was suffering from various ailments and was on regular
medicine for last six years. She alleged that Shah was facing
difficulty in getting those medicines inside the jail and
was now also suffering from sudden loss of consciousness"
My husband had similar fainting attacks in Tihar Jail. Repeated
requests were made to the jail authorities but no steps were
taken in this regard. This is a clear indication of slow poisoning
of my husband by the jail authorities,” she told the court
in her application. The court, meanwhile, initiated the trial
and started recording the statement of the prosecution witnesses.
It posted the matter for further hearing on February 26.The
court had on August 22 last year rejected Shah’s bail plea
after the ED said it was probing the case. On November 15,
the court had framed money laundering charges against Shah
and alleged hawala dealer Mohammad Aslam Wani in the case.
Both the accused pleaded not guilty and claimed trial. The
ED had on September 23 filed the charge sheet against Shah,
accusing him being in touch with Pakistan-based terrorist
Hafiz Sayeed. It had also named Wani, who is in judicial custody
along with Shah. |
JKDFP rejects Indian army
chief’s, Mehbooba’s assertions |
Srinagar January 15 : The
Jammu Kashmir Democratic Party (JKDFP) has said that the statement
of Indian Army chief General Bipin Rawat is highly condemnable
and unjustified. Senior party leader Er Farooq Khan said in
a statement that General Rawat’s remark clearly proves that
New Delhi is tackling Kashmir and Kashmiris only through its
military might and there is nothing political in its kitty
regarding Kashmir dispute. He said that Indian army chief
General Rawat only wants the Hindu extremist’s prescription
on resolution of the Kashmir problem which is not acceptable.
Indian Army Chief General Rawat’s remarks about Kashmir and
Kashmiris demonstrated his anti-Muslim and anti-Kashmir mindset.
The statement has proved that the real control of India is
lying in the hands of Indian armed forces. However, Kashmiris
are rendering valuable sacrifices for the freedom cause and
India can never defeat their aspirations by military means.
Meanwhile, the DFP denounced the assertions made by Chief
Minister Mehbooba Mufti, and said that she had resorted to
blatant lies for her lust to remain in power. Mehbooba Mufti
had said that making Kashmir a part of India was the bold
and historic decision of Sheikh Abdullah and Maharaja Hari
Singh. The DFP maintained that such negative statements would
not change the disputed status of Jammu and Kashmir. Lashing
at Mehbooba Mufti for her negative rhetoric, DFP said that
she has no mandate to represent aspirations of people nor
is she authorized to decide or say about political destiny
of Kashmir. The present government has filled the jails of
Jammu Kashmir and it will be known for its oppressive measures,
the DFP said. The present regime will also be known for crackdowns
in nook and corner of the valley. |
Distorting facts a hall-mark
of Pro-Indian Kashmiri politicians: Mehmood Saghar |
Islamabad January 14:The
former convener of All Parties Hurriyat Conference Pak chapter
and senior vice president of Democratic Freedom Party Mehmood
Ahmed Saghar has said that distortion and misrepresentation
of facts has become hallmark of pro-Indian Kashmiri politicians
who he said can go to any extent to appease their masters
in New Delhi. Reacting to puppet Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti’s
recent statement regarding the number of persons wounded in
Kashmir due to bullets, pellets, PAVA shells fired upon them
by Indian forces during the 2016 and 2017 mass uprising, the
DFP leader said, “The numbers of injured persons were much
higher than what Ms Mufti had revealed before the “so-called
legislative assembly” a day before yesterday”. “More than
twenty thousand people mostly youth have been wounded in Kashmir
by Indian military and Para-military troops by resorting to
excessive use of force during 2016 and 2017 mass uprising,
among them 8353 received pellet injuries as a result 73 lost
their eye sight completely, whereas, nearly 200 lost their
vision partially ”Saghar said. Taking a jibe at mainstream
political parties for distorting facts Saghar said that distortion
of facts and historic realities has been hallmark of so called
leaders who instead of representing their own people have
always tried to appease their masters just to stay in power.
“These political hacks who love to call themselves as public
representatives have inflicted huge damage to Kashmir cause
through deceit and deception”, he said adding that time has
come that the Kashmiri masses should identify these political
mercenaries who were hand in glove with Indian authorities.
Regarding Mehbooba Mufti’s recent tirade against Hurriyat
leaders for not holding dialogue with New Delhi’s point man
for Kashmir, the DFP leader said that Ms Mufti was perhaps
somewhere in political hibernation when Hurriyat leaders held
dialogue with India but history bears witness to the fact
that New Delhi used dialogue as an instrument to dilute the
intensity of resistance movement in Kashmir. He said that
pro-freedom leadership has never been averse to talks but
what they want is that the talks should be all inclusive,
Kashmir centric, time-bound and result-oriented. Saghar said
that New Delhi’s call for a sustainable dialogue is nothing
but a hoax. “On one hand they talk of dialogue while on the
other they have been chocking every dissenting voice in Kashmir”,
he said adding that a sizeable number of prominent Kashmiri
leaders including Shabir Ahmed Shah have been thrown behind
the bars on the pretext of trumped up charges. “The ill-treatment
meted out to Shah Sahib and other Kashmiri prisoners at Tihar
Jail is a matter of grave concern”, the DFP leader said adding
that recent incidents of thrashing of prisoners in Tihar jail
had put the lives of all Kashmiri political prisoners at risk.
Demanding release of Kashmiri prisoners, he said, ” Kashmiri
prisoners languishing in Indian jails are being harassed.
They should not only be shifted to Kashmir but also be released
without any further delay” |

terror across the valley. JKDFP also paid glowing tributes
to those martyred in Chadoora Budgam recently and Larnoo,
Kokernag on Tuesday.The party said that Kashmiri youth are
paying priceless sacrifices for a great cause and their sacrifices

Kokernag only yesterday. The party said that showering pellets
and bullets on unarmed protesters only proves that men in
uniform have been given full freedom to crush the people of
Kashmir and their voice. The DFP statement said that instead
of resolving Kashmir issue as per the aspirations of people
of Kashmir, New Delhi has adopted an oppressive and stubborn
approach by use military might and chocking all space for
peaceful means. This situation has pushed the Kashmiri youth

board exams |
Srinagar, January 9 : In
occupied Kashmir, Insha Mushtaq, the girl completely blinded
by pellets fired by Indian troops while she was inside her
home in Shopian during the 2016 uprising, has passed her Class

Insha had 85 percent marks in Class 8 exams. She was watching
street protests from the window of her home in Sedow village
of Shopian on July 12, 2016, when pellets fired by the troops
hit her right on the face, blinding her in both eyes. The
teenage girl wanted to become a doctor and even after she
was blinded, she said she would try her best to fulfill her
dream. Insha told media that she could have done far better
in the exams if she had not been blinded by the pellets. “I
was expecting more, having worked hard for the exams, but
you know what pellets did to me. After the injuries I was
not able to study. I was allowed to have a writer in the exams
and she did her best. She wrote faster than I dictated,” Insha
said .Mushtaq Ahmad, father of Insha, said his family was
happy that Insha had cleared her exams. The Jammu and Kashmir

she has managed an amazing feat. Her determination and resilience
is an example for everyone. May Allah bless her, always.”

DFP serves legal notice
to ETV Urdu for telecasting baseless news against shah |
Srinagar January 8:Jammu
& kashmir Democratic Freedom Party (JKDFP) has served
a legal notice to ETV Urdu TV channel for telecasting baseless
news about its incarcerated chief Shabir Ahmad Shah. The notice
issued through advocate Fayez Ahmad Sodagar said that Shabir
Shah, who is presently lodged in Central Jail Tihar, New Delhi
is a prominent and frontline pro freedom political leader
of Jammu and Kashmir right from 1968, fighting for Right to
Self Determination. The ETV Urdu on Dec 3, 2018 at 1900 hours
(7:00 PM) telecasted a caption in Urdu saying “Rs 62.00 lakh
amount was recovered from Shabir Ahmad Shah by Enforcement.
Directorate.” The news is false and frivolous and has been
deliberately aired. Even the charge sheet filed by ED New
Delhi against Shabir Shah does not reveal anywhere that Rs
Sixty lac have been recovered or seized from him. The notice
said that Shabir Shah is a reputed political leader/figure
of Jammu and Kashmir, and has earned a good fame and respect
among the masses of Jammu and Kashmir in general and people
of Kashmir in particular. Besides, he has a good repute, respect
and fair name among people of several countries outside India,
as he has been named as “Prisoner of Conscience” by Amnesty
International in 1994.In consequence of the fake news item
of ETV Urdu, the said TV channel have committed breach of
fundamental and personal rights of Shabir Shah, the notice
said. The notice has called upon ETV Urdu to take note of
and pay an amount of Rs 5 crore (Rupees five crore) to Shabir
Shah for inflicting harm to Shabir Shah. |

sacrificed their lives to liberate Jammu Kashmir from the

resolve the Kashmir issue which ultimately boosts the morale

lives of innocent peopled paid tributes to Kashmir martyrs

Success of truthfulness
of Shabir Shah is certain :DFP |
Srinagar January 6 : An
extra ordinary meeting of Jammu Kashmir Democratic Freedom
Party district Islamabad (Anantnag) was held which was presided
over by the district president advocate Fayez Ahmad Sodagar.
The meeting strongly condemned not producing the incarcerated
party chief Shabir Ahmad Shah before court. The participants
said that Shabir Shah is the name of an ideology which cannot
be crushed by jailing the resistance leader. Rather the said
ideology flourishes after every passing day. The meeting was
attended by the representatives of Tehsil Dooru, Kokernag,
Shan gas, Bijbehara, Pahalgam and Islamabad who in one voice
expressed their solidarity with person and politics of Shabir
Ahmad Shah. The participants said that Indian agencies cannot
prove anything against Shabir Shah ,because he has followed
truthfulness throughout his life and transparency has been
his way of life. But India wants to prolong his incarceration
and deny medical facilities only to defeat his politics. But
fact of the matter is that Shah sahib has spent half of his
life in jails with steadfastness. His enemies many a times
tried to tarnish his personality by using baseless accusations
but he always came out clean. The participants said that success
of truthfulness of Shabir Shah is certain. |
DFP remembers Sopore massacre,
victims on 25th anniversary. |
Srinagar January 5 :Jammu
Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party has said that justice continues
to elude the victim families of gory Sopore massacre for the
past 25 years whose near and dear ones lost their lives at
the hands of Indian forces in the Apple town of Sopore on
January 6, 1993.Remembering the victims of Sopore massacre
on their 25th anniversary Freedom Party said that 57 innocent
civilians were massacred by the BSF men however, such massacres
and bloodshed have failed to kill the freedom sentiment of
Kashmiri people. While saluting the pro-freedom stance of
Zinda Dilan-e-Sopore, Freedom Party said BSF troops tried
their best to eradicate the emotions of people but people
of the apple town are still firm on the way of resistance.
The statement said that BSF men sprayed gun powder, petrol
and kerosene on the buildings in Sopore and torched them after
killing 57 innocent people. Around 400 commercial establishments
and 75 residential houses were set ablaze in five localities
of Sopore by Indian forces who went on a rampage only because
people of Sopore are known for their pro-freedom political
stance. Freedom Party condemned the closing of Sopore case
file citing “lack of evidence”. There are countless cases
like Sopore massacre where New Delhi has practically exhibited
that it treats Kashmir as its colony. Freedom Party appealed
the rights organizations active on international level to
come forward for the rescue of Kashmiri people who are facing
all sorts of violations at the hands of the Indian forces. |
Stop interfering in religious
matters of Muslims: DFP to India |
Srinagar, January 04 : In
occupied Kashmir, the Jammu and Kashmir Democratic Freedom
Party has said that India is interfering in the religious
matters of Muslims and recent decisions about triple Talaq
and Hajj are glaring examples of it.DFP Secretary General,
Muhammad Abdullah Tari in a statement issued in Srinagar said
that the decisions of Indian government had hurt the religious
sentiments of Muslims on the whole. He said that New Delhi
was provoking 300 million Indian Muslims by taking anti-Islam
measures." If India is sincere in changing the overall
situation of its Muslims, it must accept the recommendations
of its own experts which they have put forth time and again,”
he added. Muhammad Abdullah Tari said that by interfering
in the religious matters of Muslims, India is in fact encouraging
communalism and hatred which is very harmful in any way. Meanwhile,
a DFP delegation went to Drabgam and Tral areas of Pulwama
to pay tributes to Manzoor Ahmed Baba and Fardeen Ahmed, who
were martyred by Indian troops on Monday. Addressing mourners
on the occasion, the DFP leaders said that the Indian authorities
were leaving no stone unturned to intimidate and suppress
the people of Kashmir. They, however, maintained that all
Indian oppressive measures had failed to crush the Kashmiris’
freedom sentiment and they were determined to take their liberation
struggle to its logical conclusion. |
DFP demands implementation
of UNSC resolutions |
Srinagar Jan 3:Jammu &
kashmir Democratic Freedom Party has said in a statement that
Enforcement Directorate has nothing to prove against the incarcerated
Freedom Party chief Shabir Ahmad Shah that is he was not produced
before a Delhi Court yesterday. The judge of Patiala House
Court Delhi waited for the whole day but ED did not produce
Shabir Shah only to skip the wrath of the court. For hours
ED told the court that Shabir Shah will be produced through
video conferencing but finally the agency came with an excuse
of faulty camera. Hence ED not only made a joke of justice
but also of the judiciary of India. Justice demands that Shabir
Shah should be released forthwith till the accusations against
him are proved but New Delhi is not only prolonging his detention
but also skips courts. These tactics are to keep Shabir Shah
away from the court and prolong his incarceration. New Delhi
has used such tactics in past as well to break the political
will of Shabir Shah but it has failed each time before the
steadfastness, truthfulness and straightforwardness of Shabir
Shah. Meanwhile, JKDFP has said in a statement that New Delhi
has become habitual of ignoring promises made with Kashmiri
people at international levels. These promises have been made
through various resolutions at UNSC of which the resolution
of January 5, 1949 is of utmost importance. India has not
only ignored the said resolutions but the promises of its
first Prime Minister, Pandith Nehru. JKDFP has said that India
cannot deny the legitimacy and authenticity of the UN resolution
which stand witness that political destiny of Jammu and Kashmir
is yet to be decided. The people of Jammu Kashmir have time
and again pledged that they won’t take rest unless their political
demands are fulfilled. They have rendered tremendous sacrifices
and demand that international brethren should pressurize India
to fulfill its promises made vis-à-vis Kashmir dispute. |
DFP pays rich tributes to
Lethpora martyrs |
Srinagar Jan 2;A high level
delegation of Jammu Kashmir Freedom Party went to Drabgam
and Hayena Tral to pay tributes to Shaheed Manzoor Ahmad Baba
and Shaheed Fardeen Ahmad.The delegation was led by senior
party leader Engineer Farooq Khan. Besides others, district
president Pulwama Mohammad Amin was also part of the delegation.
Addressing the present people the delegation members said
that the freedom struggle of Kashmir is becoming more precious
after every martyrdom of our brave hearts who render tremendous
sacrifices to break the chains of oppression. They said that
it is because of these sacrifices that Kashmir issue is being
talked at international forums. These brave hearts are in
fact keeping the torch of resistance burning by using their
precious blood. The whole nation is indebted to these heroes
who lay down their lives for a noble cause. The DFP delegation
said that Indian stubborn attitude towards the resolution
of Kashmir dispute is responsible for the bloodshed. If New
Delhi is sincere about the peace and stability of the south
Asian region, it should accept the historic facts related
to Kashmir dispute without any further delay. They said that
sacrifices of those like Shaheed Manzoor Ahmad Baba and Shaheed
Fardeen Ahmad have increased the responsibilities of the nation
manifold. Both the martyrs along with a guest brave heart
achieved martyrdom at Lethpora Pulwama during a gunfight.
The DFP delegation expressed solidarity with the families
of the martyrs and assured them that the sacrifices of their
sons will be protected at any cast. The Indian authorities
are leaving no stone unturned to intimidate and suppress the
people of Kashmir using arbitrary measures. However, people
exhibit their attachment with the freedom movement whenever
they get a chance. This only indicates that all oppressive
measures have failed to crush the freedom sentiment in the
disputed region. Stop interfering in religious matters of
Muslims: DFP to India Jammu Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party
has said that India is interfering in the religious matters
of Muslims and recent decisions about Talaq and Haj are glaring
examples of it .DFP secretary general Molana Mohammad Abdullah
Tari said in a statement that recent decisions of New Delhi
have hurt the religious sentiments of Muslims on the whole.
He said that New Delhi is provoking 30 crore Muslims in the
garb of changing them. If New Delhi is sincere in changing
the overall situation of its Muslims, it must accept the recommendations
of its own experts which they have put forth time and again.
The situation of Muslims can be changed by implementing reservations
for them and especially Muslim women, Molana Tari said adding
however New Delhi is trying to prove Muslims as uncivilized
which can only produce negative results. He said that by interfering
in the religious matters of Muslims India is in fact encouraging
cSommunalism and hatred which is very harmful in any way. |

bloodshed in Kashmir: JKDFP |
| Srinagar 1st January 2018
: Paying rich tributes to Shaheed Manzoor Ahmad Baba of Drabgam,
Pulwama and Shaheed Fardeen Ahmad of Hayena Tral, Democratic
Freedom Party has said that Indian stubborn attitude towards
the resolution of Kashmir dispute is responsible for the bloodshed
in the region. A Freedom Party statement said that sacrifices
of those like Shaheed Manzoor Ahmad Baba and Shaheed Fardeen
Ahmad have increased the responsibilities of the nation manifold.
Both the brave hearts achieved martyrdom at Lethpora Pulwama
during a gunfight. Terming New Delhi responsible for ghastly
situations in the region, the statement said that there was
no let-up in the human rights violations like harassing civilians
and restrictions on political activities. Referring to year
2017, the DFP statement said that human rights violations
marked most horrible as killings and arrests have touched
its highest level. The authorities have in fact waged war
on people of Kashmir. Indian forces have killed 206 freedom
fighters in last one year. At least 80 civilians were also
brutally killed by forces while as hundreds of civilians sustained
injuries at the hands of the men in uniform and properties
worth corers was destroyed. The genuine political leaders
like DFP chief, Shabir Ahmad Shah continued to remain behind
bars which have created a huge political gape resulting in
chaos and confusion. Political leaders and activists are subjected
to vengeance and agencies like NIA and ED have been activated
to silent the political opponents. The Indian authorities
are leaving no stone unturned to intimidate and suppress the
people of Kashmir using arbitrary measures. However, the DFP
statement hailed the people for their commitment towards the
freedom struggle and said that spirit of people will fail
each and every sinister design of India and its forces. |
