Calling for a peaceful
and early settlement of long running dispute he said, "While
the world is observing International Human Rights Day, today,
I call upon International human rights agencies to take serious
notice of human rights violations committed by Indian troops
in the region and force India to stop the violations".Terming India as a violator of international
covenants Saghar said that the Universal Declaration of Human
Rights, which became the global standard for defending and
promoting human rights all over the world, was being trampled
down by India in Kashmir where fundamental rights of the Kashmiris
are not protected. "Innocent civilians particularly youth
are being killed day in and day out, people are being thrashed,
harassed and humiliated, whereas the political leadership
has been thrown behind the bars", he said adding that
Kashmir has been turned into a virtual jail where no one has
right to speak.
Terming Indian hegemony as a biggest threat to peace in the
region he said that it was high time that the world community
should come forward in a big way to help resolve this dispute
that has brought death and destruction in the region. |

Killings, arrest spree a
part of greater conspiracy to push youth towards violence
: Mehmood Saghar |
| Islamabad
November 19:The former convener of APHC Pak chapter and senior
vice president Jammu Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party (DFP)
while expressing his serious concern over the arrest spree
of youth in occupied Kashmir has said that arresting youth
on baseless and concocted cases was part of New Delhi’s sinister
design to push Kashmiri youth into a vortex violence. Addressing
a meeting of office bearers here on Monday Saghar expressed
dismay over the deteriorating human rights situation and continued
detention of party chairman Shabir Ahmed Shah who is
languishing in notorious Tihar jail for last two years. Speaking
on the occasion he said that under the garb of operation all
out (OAO) educated youth were being deliberated targeted by
Indian forces in every nook and corner of the valley. The
youth he said were being asked every now and then to report
in police stations, which has created an atmosphere of fear
and uncertainty. He stated that the men in uniform have let
loose a reign of terror in the region. Voicing his concern
over the surging drug addiction in the Kashmir valley Saghar
said that massive troops’ concentration, free access to drugs
and alcohol were the main cause of this fast spreading menace
in the valley. Terming it as a deliberate attempt to destroy
the social fabric of society he said that India and its stooges
were working on a policy to indulge youth in drug abuse to
divert their attention from the Kashmir’s freedom movement.
He said that even police officials in Srinagar have accepted
the reality the army was directly involved in this illicit
trade of promoting drug culture in the State. Terming it as
serious threat to the society he said that the situation speaks
volumes about the disastrous impacts of occupation and the
occupiers’ vile intentions. He pointed out that Indian authorities
on the other hand have turned Kashmir into a military state
where there are severe restrictions on peoples’ right to freedom
of speech and expression. The DFP leader said that youth were
being killed on a daily basis, men, women and even children
were being thrashed, harassed and humiliated by the so-called
Indian security forces without any rhyme or reason. Referring
to the continued illegal detention of Shabir Ahmed Shah and
other Hurriyat leaders he said that Kashmiri political lodged
in different jails in and outside the valley were the worst
victims of political vendetta. Urging world human rights organizations
to take effective cognizance of the simmering situation in
the valley he said it was high time that the international
community must shun its policy of indifference towards Kashmiris
and come forward in a big way to help resolving this lingering
dispute, which he said was the cause and consequence of rights
violations in the region |

27th October darkest day
in Kashmir history : JKDFP |
| Srinagar, October 26 : In occupied
Kashmir, JKDFP has said that 27th October 1947 is the darkest
day in the history of Jammu and Kashmir. It was on 27th October
in 1947 when Indian troops invaded Jammu and Kashmir and occupied
it in total violation of the Partition Plan of the Subcontinent
and against the Kashmiris’ aspirations. A spokesman of Jammu
Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party (JKDFP) in a statement issued
in Srinagar said that Indian forces occupied the territory by
illegal means giving rise to a situation where people were being
killed and maimed on daily basis. Terming October 27 as a black
day in the history of South Asia, he said that this day in 1947
had brought miseries along because India was since then trying
to implement its unethical agenda in the entire region." Had
Indian army not breached all principles on October 27, 1947,there
would have been no bloodshed and no issue at all. Rather South
Asian people would have been enjoying the fruits of stability
and peace and no scholars of Kashmir like Shaheed Manan Wani
and Shaheed Sabzar Sofi would have preferred to die for freedom,”
he added. the spokesman described October 27 as the darkest
day in the history of Kashmir when Indian troops occupied Kashmir
against the will of the Kashmiri people. He said that Kashmiris
had been struggling for securing their birthright to self-determination
for the last over seven decades and would continue the liberation
movement till it reached its logical conclusion. He said Kashmiris
on both sides of the Line of Control and the world over observe
October 27 as black day, every year. He said that the Kashmiri
people would never accept India’s forcible occupation of their
soil and New Delhi should realize the ground reality and settle

not election drama: JKDFP |
| Srinagar, October 10 : In occupied
Kashmir, Jammu and Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party has categorically
rejected the so-called local bodies’ election in the territory,
saying the Kashmiri people want plebiscite, not election drama.
The Democratic Freedom Party in a statement issued in Srinagar
said India wants to damage the disputed status of Jammu and
Kashmir by staging such election dramas, but Kashmir is an internationally
recognized dispute, which is to be settled by granting the Kashmiri
people their right to self-determination through an impartial
plebiscite held under the UN supervision. The DFP spokesperson
said that rejection of the election drama by the overwhelming
majority of the Kashmiri people should serve as an eye-opener
for the world’s so-called largest democracy. He said that India
had turnedthe entire occupied Kashmir into a military garrison
in the name of so-called elections. He said that India wanted
to provide justification to its illegal occupation over Jammu
and Kashmir through holding of bogus elections. He said, “Whenever
election is held in Kashmir, it brings endless miseries and
suffering to the common people.” |

| Islamabad, Sep 30 : Expressing
his serious concern over the plight of Kashmiri detainees lodged
in different jails in and outside Kashmir the vice- president
of Democratic Freedom Party Mehmood Ahmed Saghar has appealed
the UN Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet'S to
take effective notice of dreadful situation the detainees were
forced to go through. In a letter addressed to UNHCR commissioner
Saghar said” “Kashmiri political prisoners were being treated
like criminals and the jails have been turned into worst interrogation
centers for them." He said, “Health of Shabir Ahmed Shah is
deteriorating in Tihar jail. He has been kept in abysmal conditions
and deprived of basic health care facilities. The ailing
leader has been suffering from many serious ailments which need
immediate treatment but his family's repeated pleas for early
release were not even heard.” “Over the past couple of months
Shah's health has deteriorated to such an extent that he can't
even stand on his legs. The detained leader fainted in Tihar
jail during the hearing. Keeping Shah in solitary confinement
under these crucial circumstances tantamount to playing with
his life,” the letter states. Saghar appealed the UN Human Rights
chief to raise the issue with the Government of India to ensure
early release of Shah and other Kashmiri prisoners languishing
in different Jails in and outside Jammu and Kashmir. |

suffering from many serious ailments. The courts are also helpless
in this regard as their orders are not implemented,” he added. The

to respectable families with reputed backgrounds. Their only
sin is that they demand their birthright to self-determination,
which has been recognized by the international community, he

Kashmiri people who are fighting for their genuine political
rights, however, they time and again raise their voice whenever
they get a chance.It is high time for New Delhi to release all
political prisoners and create such a situation which can help
resolve the Kashmir dispute amicably. |

and debasement, which amounts to a serious war crime. In a statement
issued here on Saturday Saghar urged the world human rights
defenders to take strong notice of what he called the inhuman
face of the occupation forces in the territory. "The so-called

barbarism in Kashmir. Dragging dead body of youth by chains
tied to his legs speaks volumes about lack of discipline and
moral degradation in Indian Army",Saghar said adding that "rogue
army" was too small a word to condemn this inhuman act. He said
that instead of holding accountable all such criminal minded
officials/soldiers for their barbaric conduct they were being
conferred awards by the government of India. He also denounced

JKDFP welcomes UNHRC chief
Michelle Bachelet'S statement on Kashmir |
| Srinagar September 12 : Jammu
Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party (JKDFP) today said that Kashmiri
people need something beyond statements and condemnations so
that they are saved from the continuous tyranny. In a statement
JKDFP Spokesperson said that the rights abuses in Kashmir at
government level can be stopped when the world bodies like UN
take concrete steps to resolve the long pending dispute which
has so far claimed countless lives. He said that Kashmiri people
are thankful to the UN Human Rights chief for her bold statement
but they feel that mere statements can’t help. Kashmir is the
world’s most militarized zone with highest concentration of
forces. This has turned the whole region into a garrison. We
appeal to the world forums to compel India to decrease the government
forces presence in the region so that a conducive atmosphere
to implement the UNSC resolutions in created. Kashmir dispute
is as old as UN itself so practical measures are needed to resolve
one of the oldest political disputes of the world. The JKDFP
Spokesperson said that India is using all sorts of arbitrary
measures to crush the legitimate struggle of the people of Jammu
and Kashmir. It has jailed the genuine voices like JKDFP chief
Shabir Shah so that people are left leaderless and voiceless.
This has added to the chaos and confusion on the ground level
so there is desperate need to look into the issue of political
prisoners of Kashmir who along with Shabir Shah are facing toughest
times in different jails and are even denied suitable medical
treatment despite suffering from serious ailments. JKDFP Spokesperson
stressed upon the UN to wake up from the deep and long slumber
and take practical steps to resolve the Kashmir dispute according

by Indian occupational forces. We need to visit the families
of martyrs and spent some time with their parents and other
nears and dears. We are highly indebted to our martyrs so we
should not leave their families all alone on Eid-ul-Azha. We
also must pay visit to families whose members are languishing
in different jails for demanding freedom for their people. We
as Muslims are also duty bound to take care of the needs of
the needy including orphans, widows and other destitute.JKDFP

Mode's Kashmir remarks mere
eye-wash: Mehmood Saghar |
| Islamabad
August 17:Terming Indian Premier Narendar Mode's recent remarks
on Kashmir as a mere eyewash the vice president of Democratic
Freedom Party (DFP) Mehmood Ahmed Saghar has said that the
blood of innocent Kashmiris being spilt on the streets in
every high and low of the valley exposes the BJP government's
so-called mantra of resolving Kashmir through peaceful means.
Responding to Mode's independence day speech wherein he reiterated
the former Indian premier's much touted political recipe for
the resolution of Kashmir dispute, the DFP leader said that
it was quite astonishing to note that a macabre game of death
and destruction is being staged in Kashmir under the pretext
of this slogan 'Insaaniyat, Kashmiriyat and Jamhuriyat'. He
said that Indian Prime Minister must stop the bloodbath of
innocent civilians in the disputed region if he was really
serious in resolving the lingering dispute through peaceful
means. “The disputed nature of the State is well established
by the relevant UN Security Council resolutions. Kashmiris
have never accepted India’s forcible control. Indian rulers
must realize the bitter reality that there are no takers of
their so-called development mantra in Kashmir. Kashmir is
a political issue that needs a political solution. New Delhi
can't woo Kashmiri people by extending financial packages
and economic concessions,” Saghar said adding it was high
time that Indian should realise the ground reality that its
bullet and abuse policy has failed to subdue Kashmiris' struggle
for right to self-determination. Kashmiris he said demand
nothing less or more than holding a referendum under the auspicious
of the UN to determine their own political future. Instead
of weaving cobwebs of confusion around the Kashmir dispute
Saghar said that India should come forward with a positive
state of mind and fulfill its commitments made with the people
of Kashmir. "This is what the people of Kashmir have been
demanding from India", he said adding that if Indians really
understand and believe in what they call 'Insaniyat and Jamhoriat'
they must not shy away from granting the fundamental rights
the people of the region have been fighting for last several
decades. So for as the peace is concerned he reminded the
rulers in New Delhi that a durable peace in the region will
remain a distant dream unless and until the dispute of Kashmir
is resolved in accordance with the wishes and will of Kashmiri
people who he said have rendered matchless sacrifices for
their inalienable right, the right to self-determination.
Urging India to create a conducive atmosphere for the peaceful
resolution of dispute, Saghar said that India should stop
human rights violations in Kashmir, repeal all black laws
and release all political leaders including Shabir Ahmed Shah
and others who have been languishing in jails in and outside
the valley. Meanwhile, DFP vice president expressed his profound
grief and sorrow over the demise of pro-freedom leader Riyaz
Ahmad Dar. Dar, 61, passed away in Azad Kashmir following
a cardiac arrest. |

August 15 Black Day for
Jammu Kashmir People: JKDFP |
| Srinagar August 13 : The people
of Jammu Kashmir are not opposed to the independence of India
nor they have any enmity with it, they only want that their
political rights should be accepted. They observe August 15
every year as black day to protest against India which has stolen
their freedom. This was stated by the Spokesperson of Jammu
Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party (JKDFP) ahead of the Indian
Independence Day.The JKDFP Spokesperson said in a statement
that incarcerated chief of the party Shabir Shah always used
to say that Jammu Kashmir People respect the freedom of every
country but India has deceitfully curbed the freedom of Jammu
Kashmir people so they must protest on every August 15 to stress
upon New Delhi and the world that they cannot surrender their
rights before Indian military might. JKDFP Spokesperson remembered
India how it fought against Britain for her freedom. The irony
is that same India has now curbed the freedom of Jammu Kashmir
people using deceitful politics. The Jammu Kashmir people are
fighting for their freedom the same way as India was fighting
against British. The Spokesperson strongly condemned the arrests
and curbs throughout the disputed region and said that August
15 comes with fresh oppression and suppression for the people
of Kashmir. Common people are being asked about their identity
in their own homeland by those who do not belong to the region
and our houses are being searched and ransacked. This all is
done in the name of so called security and people are made to
remain caged for the whole day till the Indian agents complete
their formalities on fixed venues. This shameful military operation
in Kashmir is called as “Independence Day”. |

Omar’s party responsible
for diluting special status of J&K: JKDFP |
| Srinagar August 07 : Reacting
very sharply to the remarks of Omar Abdullah about the protests
in favour of Article 35-A by the pro-freedom leaders and people,
Jammu Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party (JKDFP) has said pro-freedom
people want to safeguard the parts of the Indian Constitution
which prove the specialty- in other words the disputed nature
and the identity of the people - of the state. Terming Omar
Abdullah’s party historically responsible for diluting the special
status of the state from time to time for mere political power,
the JKDFP spokesperson said that protest favoring Article 35-A
is not any “tacit acceptance” of Indian Constitution but part
of the resistance to safeguard the disputed nature of the region.
Terming the two day shutdown as historic, the JKDFP Spokesperson
said ,it showed that the people of Jammu Kashmir can go to any
extent to safeguard their peculiar identity which has been time
and again damaged by all the pro-India parties like National
Conference .JKDFP Spokesperson also reminded Omar about
infamous India-Abdullah accord which was a shameless effort
to dilute the Special Status of Jammu Kashmir for mere political
power. “If Omar Abdullah and other likeminded politicians are
so sure that majority people of Jammu Kashmir feel comfort with
Indian they all must support the Right to Self Determination
so that they are proved right and their political opponents
are proved wrong once for all,” the JKDFP Spokesperson said
and added “but these power hungry politicians only know one
thing and that is political power for which they at times beg
for votes and use Kashmir issue to exploit people’s political
sentiments." The JKDFP Spokesperson said that Article 35A grants
special privileges and rights to the permanent residents of
Jammu Kashmir and debars non-residents from buying land or property
and getting jobs in the disputed region, so this Article of
Indian Constitution is protecting and safeguarding the disputed
nature of the region and identity of the people living here.
It is our utmost responsibility to rise to defend our special
status which is guaranteed by none other than some Articles
of the Indian Constitution like Article 35-A. |
Setting next hearing date
on 35-A petition another ploy: JKDFP |
| Srinagar August 06 : Commenting
on the adjournment of the hearing of petition regarding Article
35-A by the Supreme Court of India, Jammu Kashmir Democratic
Freedom Party (JKDFP) today said that majority people of the
state are ready to react anytime against any move which can
harm the disputed status of the region. Terming the fixing of
next hearing date on petition against 35-A yet another ploy,
JKDFP said that New Delhi and its institutions want Kashmiri
people to suffer at all levels and these institutions feel pleasure
in troubling Kashmiri people. Congratulating the people for
exhibiting strong resentment against the evil designs of vested
interests who are hell bent to damage the peculiar specialty
of Jammu Kashmir by observing historic shutdown, a Freedom Party
Spokesperson said that Supreme Court of India should have rejected
the petition out rightly instead of fixing another date for
another hearing. The JKDFP spokesperson said that India
is interested in keeping Kashmir on boil that is why the matter
is being prolonged and the Supreme Court has fixed another hearing
of the petition. The highest court of India must understand
the sensitivity of the matter and people related to it and reject
all the petitions aiming at damaging the special status of Jammu
Kashmir. The spokesperson said that people will not let the
matter go and will certainly exhibit their anger on every court
hearing unless the petition is rejected. The spokesperson strongly
condemned the arresting of dozens of pro-freedom activists and
common youth in last two days by police in nook and corner of
the valley. He said that without caring for arrests and other
oppressive measures, the people will react against any evil
designs aimed at damaging their identity anytime. Meanwhile,
JKDFP strongly condemned the killing of a cattle trader by Indian
army in Goole area of Ramban district. 28-year-old cattle trader,
Mohammad Shafi Gujjar was killed and another civilian, Shakeel
Ahmad was injured after Indian army opened fire on them in Kohli
village of Dharmgund area of Ramban district. The brutal Murder
of cattle trader, Mohammad Shafi is the latest example of Indian
brutalities in the disputed region. The party expressed solidarity
and sympathy with the family of slain Mohammad Shafi. |

and injuring of others. The party spokesperson expressed solidarity

measures to stop any damage to the disputed status of Jammu
Kashmir because all these forums like the UN are responsible

| Srinagar July 30 : Jammu Kashmir

people across globe to raise their voice against the Indian
attempts to change the demography of Jammu Kashmir and damage
its disputed nature by taking judiciary route. JKDFP Secretary
General, Moulana Mohammad Abdullah Tari said in a statement
that challenging article 35A of Indian Constitution is an open
assault on the people living in the disputed region which is
aimed at changing its demography. Moulana Tari said that article
35A is related to the State Subject Laws and once these laws
are done away with it will be a disaster for the whole state
the people of which can never afford. He said that people of
Jammu Kashmir are very sensitive about such laws which protect
their identity so New Delhi must not allow anybody to play with
the sentiments of the people living here. Moulana Tari
warned New Delhi to be ready for the dire consequences if article
35A is even touched by its any institutions including judiciary.
He appealed the sane voices in and outside India to understand
the issue and come forward so that Jammu Kashmir is saved and

Statement of Imran Khan
about Kashmir is welcome : JKDFP |
| Srinagar July 28 : Welcoming
the statement of Pak PM elect Imran Khan about Kashmir, Jammu
Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party (JKDFP) has said that Kashmiris
have always supported and advocated peaceful resolution of their
issue so that the people of the whole region can enjoy fruits
of peace and stability. A JKDFP Spokesperson said in his statement
that Kashmiris have always been in favour of a meaningful dialogue
process so as to resolve the long pending Kashmir dispute. The
people living in the disputed region are struggling for their
Right to Self Determination since decades together which has
been accepted by the world community. Hailing the statement
of Imran Khan, the JKDFP spokesperson hoped that Islamabad will
advocate the case of Kashmir more strongly. He also congratulated
Imran Khan and other leaders of his party for achieving success
in the recently conducted elections.. Meanwhile, Democratic
Freedom Party has expressed its deep concern over the acts of
day today intimidating common people by launching CASOs in nook
and corner. A JKDFP Spokesperson said in his statement that
so called search operations have returned to the region after
so many years and the sole aim of the government forces is to
create a situation where people could only think about their
survival and leave raising voice about their rights. The Spokesperson
said that New Delhi is implementing its plan to silent everybody
in Kashmir and it has adopted a policy of tyranny, dictatorship
and domination. It is using CASOs, arrests, registering of fabricated
cases and other such things to threaten the peace loving people
of Kashmir whose only crime is that they demand for their political
rights. To create silence of graveyard across the disputed region,
New Delhi is leaving no stone unturned to create an atmosphere
of intimidation. Asking for identity cards from people on roads,
checking vehicles and wasting time of the common people is just
part of a policy to harass people. |

is a necessity and to restore the1993 APHC constitution is the
only way out for a broader unity among the resistance parties.

Shabir Shah completes one
year of incarceration in Tihar jail |
| Srinagar July 24 : Incarcerated
chief of Jammu Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party (JKDFP), Shabir
Shah has completed one year of his continuous imprisonment in
infamous Tihar jail, Delhi. Shabir Shah was arrested by ED last
year on the same day and was shifted to Delhi where he was questioned
in a fabricated and old case for some days before lodging him
in Tihar jail where he is continuously scripting a new history
of resistance. Freedoms Party Spokesperson said in a statement
that India is a signatory of international convention about
the prisoners which makes it duty bound to follow the international
norms about the prisoners. However, New Delhi does not follow
the same especially about political prisoners of Kashmir who
are languishing in different jails of J&K or outside.The
latest example of it is the illogic and undemocratic imprisonment
of JKDFP chief Shabir Shah. Shah Sahab has been booked in an
old case by ED which has already been decided on judiciary level.
Fact of the matter is that one year has passed since ED filed
its so called charge sheet against Shabir Shah however it has
not succeeded in proving even a single allegation against Shabir
Shah. Yes, the only one charge against Shabir Shah which is
true is that he advocates for Right to Self Determination for
his people and firmly believes that unless and until Kashmir
dispute is resolved according to the wishes of the people living
in the disputed region there neither can be peace in the region
nor stability in South Asia. This is the only “crime” of Shabir
Shah that he strongly pleads the case of his people and has
spent 31 years in different jails so far for it. In the meantime
New Delhi tried its best to break the political will of Shabir
Shah and started a well planned campaign of character assassination
against him however he continuously and steadfastly remained
on his political path and did not deviate even an inch. He is
being denied fair judicial trail, he is being denied bail, he
is being denied his rights as a political prisoners but even
then he is firmly holding his political ideology based on principle
of justice.We at JKDFP salute the political will of our leader
and pledge to take his mission forward. Every activist of the
party has time and again made it clear that the mission of Shabir
Shah will be taken forward at any cost. Shabir Shah has now
become voice of the whole nation and people are only worried
about his falling health. He is suffering from many serious
ailments in the jail for which he needs suitable treatment.
We at JKDFP appeal in strongest words to the Human Rights forums
at international level to intervene and make sure that the life
of the “prisoner of Conscience” is saved. |
Incarcerated Shabir Shah
Bereaved, JKDFP expresses condolence and solidarity |
| Srinagar July 22 : Jammu Kashmir
Democratic Freedom Party (JKDFP) has expressed profound grief
and sorrow over the passing away of uncle of its incarcerated
Chairman, Shabir Shah. Mohammad Shafi Shah, of Anantnag breathed
his last at his ancestral home early today. He was the younger
uncle of Shabir Shah. While expressing solidarity with the bereaved
family and its chairman, Shabir Shah, JKDFP Secretary General,
Moulana Mohammad Abdullah Tari said in a statement that Shabir
Shah lost his one more close relative when he is in jail and
could not attend his funeral prayers. When the wife of Mohammad
Shafi Shah passed away some years back, Shabir Shah was in jail
and could not even attend her last rites. ‘The Prisoner of Conscience’
has spent 31 years of his life in different jails nourishing
his political ideology and the irony is that he was never
provided an opportunity to participate in his relative’s last
rites who passed away whenever Shabir Shah was behind bars .Moulana
Tari said that this is yet another tactic to break the political
will of Shabir Shah who advocates right to self determination
of the people of Jammu Kashmir and has been imprisoned in infamous
Tihar jail, Delhi from last one year. Moulana Tari prayed for
the deceased soul and expressed sympathy with the close relatives
of Shabir Shah who all missed him. |
JKDFP condemns ban on 30
TV channels, pays tributes to Haji Habibullah |
| Srinagar July 20 : Jammu Kashmir
Democratic Freedom Party (JKDFP) has strongly condemned the
banning of more than 30 cable TV channels by authorities. Terming
the decision as fascist, the JKDFP spokesperson said that this
indicates the evil designs of authorities towards Muslims because
all the banned channels belonged to Pakistan and Saudi Arabia
and are known among Muslims of the world as most of them used
to telecast religious stuff only. Strongly condemning the act,
JKDFP Spokesperson said that such authoritarian measures only
add fuel to the fire. The Indian authorities through their agents
in the disputed region are busy in implementing a policy which
aims at silencing everybody. The irony is that people are even
denied their basic rights and they are now directed to watch
selective TV channels. However, people of Jammu Kashmir
have always faced such dictatorial measures with patience and
steadfastness which has been a key to their continuous resistance.
The spokesperson hailed the people for their determination on

Mehmood Saghar welcomes
UN chief's statement on Kashmir |
| Islamabad, July 18:The former
convener of All Parties Hurriyat Conference Pak chapter and
vice-president of Democratic Freedom Party (DFP) Mehmood Ahmed
Saghar has appreciated the UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres
recent statement in which he had voiced his support for international
investigation into the alleged human rights violations in Kashmir.The
statement of UN Chief is a positive development, which speaks
volumes about growing concerns and realization at global level
vis-à-vis the peaceful settlement of lingering Kashmir dispute
that as a matter of fact is the major cause and the consequence
of rights violations in the region", Saghar said in a e-mailed
statement. “Now that the UN chief has taken a bold and clear
cut stand on the matter international community must realize
the gravity of the situationand come forward in a big way to
impress upon New Delhi to accept the UNHCR demand for establishment
of Commission of Inquiry to conduct comprehensive independent
international investigation into the human rights violations
committed by the forces in J&K,” he added. Regarding the
mediation offers from the United Nations the DFP leader said
that Kashmiris have always supported and welcomed such kind
of offers but New Delhi rejects the idea. "Rather than weaving
cobwebs of confusion it is time for New Delhi to accept this
bitter reality that a political solution to the Kashmir problem
was the only way forward", Saghar said.Voicing grave concern
over Shabir Shah's declining health condition he said that the
incarcerated leader is suffering from multiple ailments. “He
is even denied suitable medical treatment", Saghar added. |
JKDFP shocked over passing
away of incarcerated Noor Khan, cautions about other prisoner’s
health condition |
| Srinagar July 17 : Expressing
deep shock over the passing away of 66 year old pro-freedom
activist, Ghulam Hassan Malik alias Noor Khan of Uri during
incarceration in Kot Balwal jail Jammu under Public Safety Act
(PSA), Jammu Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party (JKDFP) said in
a statement that had jail authorities provided suitable medical
aid to him in time, Noor Khan would not have died without seeing
his nears and dears. The party spokesperson while paying tributes
to the departed soul said that his contribution in the resistance
movement will always be remembered. He said that passing away
of Noor Khan during incarceration has vindicated that majority
of Kashmiri prisoners are ailing in different jails and are
suffering from life threatening ailments and need immediate
and suitable medical treatment. The spokesperson expressed solidarity
with the bereaved family of late Ghulam Hassan Malik who was
resident of Pehlipora area in Uri. The JKDFP spokesperson condemned
authorities for not releasing or at least shifting Noor Khan
despite his deteriorating health condition. He was neither provided
adequate medical facility at Jammu indicating how non serious
the jail authorities are towards the Kashmiri political prisoners.
The JKDFP spokesperson said that its chief Shabir Shah is continuously
ill in Tihar jail since he was arrested a year ago. His family
time and again cautioned jail authorities about his serious
illness and impressed for his immediate and suitable treatment
but all their pleas are neither taken seriously at jail authority
level nor at judicial level. Same is the case with other Kashmiri
political prisoners whose lives are at risk due to their ailments
and can meet the same fate as Noor Khan if ignored. JKDFP hence
appeals the rights bodies at international level to pay their
attention towards the Kashmiri prisoners who are lodged in different
jails of the state and India including Tihar jail Delhi so that
at least their medical treatment is arranged. |

people at institutional level : JKDFP |
| Srinagar July 16 : Jammu Kashmir

over the prevailing situation of the disputed region and said
that India is using its institutions to intimidate Kashmiri
people. JKDFP spokesperson said in a statement that Kashmir
as a nation is facing all sorts of tyranny by New Delhi and
the later is using its men in uniform, investigating agencies
and other institutions to silence Kashmiri people. First India
started intimidating genuine political leaders of Kashmiri people
like JKDFP incarcerated chairman, Shabir Shah by invoking fabricated
and old decided cases against them. Then a campaign of character
assassination was started against the leaders like Shabir Shah.
And now every section of Kashmiri society is being targeted
one by one and an onslaught on Kashmiri Journalists is the latest.JKDFP
spokesperson said that New Delhi only wants to implement its
own agenda in Kashmir aiming at silencing everybody so that
it can carry its long term Kashmir policy. Strongly condemning
the dictatorial actions of Indian institutions, JKDFP spokesperson
said that ED and NIA are being used to frighten the freedom
loving Kashmiri people. The JKDFP spokesperson expressed grave
concern over the overall situation of Kashmir where even Journalists
are not being spared and they too are being harassed and frightened.
The killing spree and the unending arrests have added to the
unleashing of terror by the men in uniform in nook and corner
of the disputed region especially Kashmir valley. The spokesperson
made a fervent appeal to justice loving nations and people of
the world to come to the rescue of Kashmiri people. |

Appeals to take cognizance
about Kashmiri political prisoner’s plight
Srinagar July 13 : Welcoming the UN Secretary-General Antonio
Guterres, backing Human Rights High Commissioner Zeid Ra'ad
Al Hussein's call for an international investigation into human
rights situation in Kashmir, Jammu Kashmir Democratic Freedom
Party (JKDFP) has said that the UN Chief’s much needed statement
has come at a time when butchering of Kashmiri youth by Indian
forces has reached new heights. Antonio Guterres has supported
an international investigation into human rights situation in
Kashmir saying that it represents the “voice of the UN”.Human
Rights High Commissioner had recently issued a report about
Kashmir and called for a probe into the human rights abuses."The
statement of UN Chief is welcome and now is the time for the
international forum to impress upon New Delhi to accept the
demand of Jammu Kashmir people for a free and fair plebiscite
to entertain their political future,” JKDFP Secretary General,
Moulana Mohammad Abdullah Tari said in a statement adding “several
resolutions in this regard have been passed by the Security
Council of the same UN.” Moulana Tari also thanked UN chief
Antonio Guterres for denying India's assertions that Human Rights
High Commissioner’s report overstepped his mandate and that
Commissioner had no mandate for it. While thanking UN Chief,
Moulana Tari said that Kashmiri people are facing countless
rights violations at the hands of New Delhi and its agents.
He added that a large number of people including common people,
political activists and leaders including JKDFP chief Shabir
Shah are facing worst kind of state terrorism by remaining lodged
in different jails on fabricated charges. Shabir Shah in particular,
whom Human Rights bodies have termed “prisoner of conscience”
for spending half of his life in different jails for his political
faith, is facing worst situation in Tihar jail. He is even denied
suitable medical treatment though suffering from many serious
ailments. He appealed and stressed upon UN chief Antonio Guterres
and Human Rights High Commissioner Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein to
take cognizance of the situation of Kashmiri prisoners and issue
directions for India who is a signatory to almost all the International
Treaties, to respect the treaty abut political prisoners. |
One more innocent killing
shocks JKDFP, terms situation disturbing |
| Srinagar July 12 ; The killing
of yet another unarmed and innocent youth by Indian forces at

Freedom Party (JKDFP). The party has termed the situation, arisen

of the deaths taking place in nook and corner of the disputed
region as they are the prime victims of the ongoing bloodshed.

and our society is in a complete mourning state due to day today
killings. The JKDFP spokesperson said that government forces
resort to firing on smaller issues resulting in the carnage
and it has very badly affected the very nature of the people
living in the disputed territory. A huge population is undergoing
psychological trauma and if the situation remains the same the
result will be more dangerous. He said that Kashmiri people
have to bury their youngsters almost on daily basis and the
situation is disturbing. The JKDFP spokesperson stressed upon
human rights organizations and justice loving people across

rights. |
JKDFP terms killings as
part of genocide plan, pays tributes to 1931 martyrs |
| Srinagar July 11:The Jammu Kashmir
Democratic Freedom Party (JKDFP) has termed the continuous killings
by Indian forces in Kashmir as part of a well planned genocide.
The party has said that struggle of Kashmiri people for their
political rights is going on since 1931.In a statement, the
Secretary General of JKDFP, Moulana Mohammad Abdullah Tari expressed
deep concern over the brutal killing of one more unarmed civilian
namely Tamsheel Ahmad Khan in Shopian by government forces and
injuring of around 150 protesters by firing bullets and pellets
on them. Such type of a situation is enough to understand the
policy of New Delhi which is to wipe out the whole pro-freedom
generation. This genocide which is part of a long term Indian
policy is aimed at crushing the political sentiments in the
disputed region. He said that our youth are being massacred
on one pretext or the other on daily basis which is a matter
of concern and every justice loving person living in or outside
India must talk against it so that Indian political leadership
is made to understand that Kashmir issue cannot be resolved
militarily instead New Delhi as to take practical political
measures to sort out the issue. Moulana Tari paid rich and glowing
tributes to Shaheed Sameer Ahmad Sheikh of Rawalpora, Shopian
and his associate who achieved martyrdom at Kundalan Shopian
while fighting the Indian forces. He prayed for the speedy recovery
for those who were made victims of brute force by the men in
uniform at Kundalan. He also prayed for the forgiveness of Muhammad
Ishaq Naikoo of Meminder Shopian who passed away of a cardiac
arrest after hearing that his son was trapped at Kundalan village,
though it later proved wrong. He said that Kashmiri people are
going through a situation where parents are worried about their
wards because the whole Indian system has been activated against
our youth some of whom have chosen to gun only to live with
honour and die with dignity. Moulana Tari also expressed grief
over the succumbing of another youth, Ubaid Manzoor Lone, of
Nadihal village in Rafiabad Baramulla, who was critically injured
on June 25 when Indian forces fired at a group of youths near
Nadihal. While referring to a gruesome incident in Sonawari,
Hajin, wherein a lady was brutally stabbed to death by some
criminals, Moulana Tari termed it the handiwork of those who
have full support of the government forces because the inhuman
act has taken place under the very noose of government forces.
He expressed solidarity with the bereaved family.He paid rich
tributes to all martyrs f Kashmir including of 1931 and said
that they provided the basis of the resistance movement which
is going on since then. The struggle to attain right to self
determination will continue until the people of Jammu Kashmir

fear. He appealed people to safeguard the sacrifices of the
martyrs of Kashmir by remaining steadfast. |
Government forces have terrified
Kashmir masses : JKDFP |
| Srinagar July 08 ; Jammu Kashmir
Democratic Freedom Party (JKDFP) has vehemently denounced the
civilian killings by government forces throughout the valley
which has created a panic among the masses and a sense of insecurity.
The spokesperson of JKDFP said in a statement that only two
days back the brutal killings of Shakir Ahmad, Irshad Ahmad
and a minor girl Andleeb at Havora, Redwani area of Kulgam district
by government forces speaks volumes of the alarming situation
in the disputed region. These gruesome incidents which are a
routine in the Kashmir valley in particular have frightened
the general masses as they feel their lives, property and honor
at risk because the Indian forces and other men in uniform have
spread a reign of terror in nook and corner. The men in uniform
have been given free hand to scuttle people’s basic freedoms
and it aims only to suppress the genuine freedom struggle.People
are being massacred, their properties are being damaged, long
queues are being witnessed outside police stations and people’s
voices like JKDFP chief Shabir Shah have been jailed. Instead
of resolving the basic issue of Kashmir, the government of India
has resorted to harassing and intimidating the hapless people
whenever they try to raise any voice against the state-sponsored
atrocities. New Delhi has a one point policy to silence the
people of Kashmir who demand and fight for their right of self-determination
accomplished at international level. Expressing solidarity with
the families of the three Havora, Redwani families, JKDFP strongly
condemned the brutal murder of three innocent civilians and
using force against unarmed protesters resulting in the injuries
to many. JKDFP appealed the International Human Rights Organizations

their influence to get it stopped. |

shock and anguish over the killing of three youth including
a girl in Redwani area of south Kashmir by Indian forces. A

said that firing on unarmed civilians has become a routine in
the disputed region where men in uniform are the real rulers

of Dukhtaran-e-Millat (DeM) chief Syeda Asiya Andrabi and her
two associates by NIA, Jammu Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party
(JKDFP) has said that after men, the Indian investigating Agencies
have started abducting Kashmiri women in the garb of the so
called investigations of fabricated cases. The Freedom Party

(ED) abducted its chief Shabir Shah in the garb of an old and
already decided case and now NIA has abducted Asiya Andrabi,
Nahida Nasreen and Fahmeeda Sofi of DeM. Shabir Shah was taken
to Delhi in an ailing sate and Asiya Andrabi has also been shifted
while she was ill and suffering from many ailments. Strongly

to open aggression from forces: JKDFP |
| Srinagar July 04: Jammu Kashmir

ongoing open aggression of Indian forces against the common
people of Kashmir and condemned the use of indiscriminate force
on people in nook and corner of the disputed region. Secretary
General of Freedom Party Moulana Mohammad Abdullah Tari said
in a statement that it is because of the unbridled powers given
to the government forces and the lack of accountability that
every day innocent civilians are brutally killed and wounded
besides properties are vandalized and people especially youth
are arrested every now and then. Moulana Tari said that brutal
use of force and unleashing the reign of terror by killing innocents,
blinding and maiming youth, vandalizing properties of people,
torching orchards, harassing the elderly lot and arresting
people in nocturnal raids has become a routine affair in Kashmir
and the government forces continue to harass People at their
will and wish. Moulana Tari expressed sympathies with the victim
families especially the parents of Faizan Ahmad of Ladhoo, Khrew
who was mercilessly killed in indiscriminate firing by forces
in Pulwama last week. Moulana Tari termed the demand for returning
of mortal remains of slain Mudasir Ahmed Bhat of old Barzulla
who was martyred in an encounter with army on June 29 at Kupwara
as genuine and based on logic and stating that the delay in
returning the mortal remains of a martyr to his family is condemnable
and inhuman. |

JKDFP concerned over police
raids and arrests of youth |
| Srinagar June 27 : Jammu Kashmir
Democratic Freedom Party (JKDFP) has strongly condemned the
arresting of six youths, three each from Kakapora and Samboora
areas of Pulwama district by police during night raids.A JKDFP
spokesperson said in a statement that night raids have become
a nuisance in the valley Kashmir in particular where the men
in uniform barge into any residential houses and arrest youths,
disrespect elders and women and even beat them. The spokesperson
said that such a situation will only lead to violence as the
youth found no alternative to such acts of state terrorism.
The JKDFP spokesperson strongly condemned the men in uniform
for arresting and harassing youth in nook and corner and said
that parents are worried about their wards because Indian forces
and local police have started a full-fledged war against the
unarmed youth who seldom raise their voice against the
atrocities and in favour of their political rights. The spokesperson
said that dozens of youths have been lodged in different police
stations and efforts are on to book them in fabricated cases.
This policy, the JKDFP spokesperson said has already demolished
the educational career of hundreds of Kashmiri youths and police
are trying to add more and more to the long list. Strongly condemning
the atrocities at the hands of government forces, the JKDFP
spokesperson appealed the High Commissioner of Human Rights
Council of United Nations to implement his recommendations put
forth in the recent report about Kashmir so that the ongoing
human rights violations are stopped. Meanwhile, Advocate Fayaz

Mehmood Saghar seeks early
resolution of Kashmir dispute. |
Terms lingering dispute as
main cause and consequence of HR violations”
Islamabad June 26 : The former convener of All Parties Hurriyat
Conference Pak chapter and senior vice president of Democratic
Freedom Party Mehmood Ahmed Saghar has made a passionate appeal
to the UN and OIC secretary generals urging them to play their
role in resolving the long-running Kashmir dispute, which he
said was the main cause and the consequence of rights violations
in the region." Since the non-resolution of the dispute is the
cause and the consequence of all human rights violations and
the cruel uncertainty suffered by the people it is imperative
that the UN should redouble its efforts to resolve the long
pending dispute to put an immediate end to HR violations in
the region”, the DFP leader said this in a joint communiqué
sent to the UN Secretary General Mr. Antonio Guterres,
Dr. Yousef bin Ahmad Al-Othaimeen Secretary General of Organization
of Islamic Cooperation and Mr. Zeid Ra’ad Al-Hussein UN High
Commissioner for Human Rights here on Tuesday. Appreciating
the UNHCR report he said, “The first ever report produced by
the world body must serve as eye-opener for all as it takes
lid off the cauldron of the gory crimes, which India has been
hiding from the world since a long time”. He observed that the
historic report carries a special significance because it discusses
in detail not only the political dimension of the deadly conflict
but also divulges the details about human rights violations,
systematic violence and highlights a situation of chronic impunity
for violations committed by Indian occupation forces. Terming
it a landmark the communiqué said, “It is an eye-opener for
the world particularly for those who despite knowing the facts
had turned a blind eye towards the Kashmir's’ unending sufferings
and had maintained criminal silence for the sake of protecting
their so-called strategic and economic interests". Extending
gratitude to UNHCR commissioner and his team for presenting
a comprehensive report of the human rights situation in Jammu
and Kashmir the memo stated that the report had generated new
wave of optimism in Kashmir making people of the region believe
that justice would be done. “It gives them (Kashmir's) the hope
for peace and justice, the hope to see an end to all the miseries.
It has generated a feeling of trust and confidence amongst the
victims that those who wreaked havoc in their lives would be
held accountable for the crimes they have committed". Stressing
the need for follow up of the report Saghar urged the UN and
OIC secretary generals to use the landmark report in alleviating
the Kashmir's’ sufferings. “The follow up of the landmark report
is essentially important to make sure that Indian forces are
held accountable for the crimes they have committed against
innocent and unarmed Kashmir's who are struggling for their
legitimate cause of right to self-determination”, Saghar said
adding that the UN chief should use the report in sensitizing
influential governments and the policy makers of member countries
of the UN to solve age old conflict that happens to be main
cause and consequence of human rights violations in the region.
Meanwhile, the DFP leader has expressed grave concern over the
continuous detention of incarcerated Party Chairman Shabir Ahmed
Shah in Tihar jail. Seeking release of the ailing leader he
said. “Shah Sahib is being punished for championing the Kashmir's’
cause of right to self-determination ”.Saghar also voiced his
grave concern over the recent spate of killings in Kashmir.
He appealed the world human rights organizations to take notice
of what he called non stop killing of innocent and unarmed civilians
by Indian military and paramilitary forces in the region. |
Change of guard in Jammu
Kashmir does not matter: Shabir Shah |
| Srinagar June 25 : The incarcerated
chief of Jammu Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party (JKDFP) Shabir
Shah though very ill in Tihar jail, has said that the change
of guard in Jammu Kashmir does not matter because faces are
being changed by New Delhi after intervals however the fact
on ground is that the people of the disputed territory are continuously
deprived of their right to self determination as guaranteed
to them by the world community. He said that New Delhi has been
using Sheikhs, Bakhshis, Sadiqs, Qasims, Abdullahs and Muftis
to hoodwink people so if some new face emerges in future that
should not surprise the people nor should they get trapped in
any political gimmicks. The family members, after visiting Shabir
Shah at Tihar jail, are seriously worried about his drastic
weight loss. The better half of Shabir Shah had gone to meet
him along with her two daughters. She informed the party
that for the first time they were allowed to meet Shah sahib
face to face in a room and on seeing him after a long gap she
and her both the daughters were shocked to see Shah sahib as
he has gone very weak. Shah sahib has lost more than 15kgs wait
and gone pale and could not even walk and stand properly. Both
the daughters started crying on seeing the condition of their
jailed father and it became very difficult even for the jail
authorities to console them. As the environment became so gloomy
that they could not even talk to each other, the family left
within 10 minutes. On their second meeting a day after, they
met Shah sahib again as per routine through the glass window.
The family informed the party that Shabir Shah’s health has
drastically worsened which has really disturbed them. They said
that Shah sahib has been suffering from serious life threatening
ailments and authorities are playing with his life. However,
the wife of the incarcerated leader said that despite severe
ill health the morale of Shabir Shah is very high. “Shah sahib
said that might is never right.” Meanwhile, the JKDFP spokesperson
strongly condemned the killing of yet another civilian at Cheddar
Kulgam. He also expressed sorrow on the succumbing of Srigufwara
youth who was injured in government forces action. Paying tributes
to slain, the JKDFP spokesperson said that New Delhi is on path
of genocide in Kashmir because it has people like Lal Singh
as its advisors who shamelessly even threaten journalists, however
the freedom struggle cannot be crushed nor can be the pro-freedom
people made to surrender. The spokesperson exhibited solidarity
with the victim families and paid tributes to martyrs. |
JKDFP concerned over unabated
killings in Kashmir |
| Srinagar June 23 : Expressing
serious concern over the unabated killings in Kashmir, Jammu
Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party (JKDFP) has said that killing
of unarmed Mohammad Yousuf Rather at Khiram, Srigufwara and
injuring his wife Rafeeqa Bano has put a question mark on the
so called state authorities. Killings in the Kashmir valley
on day to day basis is a matter of grave worry, the JKDFP spokesperson
said and added that these killings are the direct result of
the heavy miniaturization of the region. He said that cruel
Indian forces did not allow Sayar Ahmad, to attend the funeral
of his slain father which speaks volumes about the rights violations
taking place in the disputed region. Paying rich and glowing
tributes to Shaheed Dawood Ahmad Sofi of Srinagar, Shaheed Majid
Manzoor Dar of Pulwama, Shaheed Aadil Rehman Bhat of Anantnag
and Shaheed Mohammad Ashraf Itoo of Anantnag, the JKDFP

JKDFP reacts against booking
of its provincial president in Kishtwar |
| Srinagar June 21:Jammu Kashmir
Democratic Freedom Party (JKDFP) has strongly condemned the
booking of its provincial president Abdul Qayoom Matto and eight
others in fake cases to shield those who exhibited hooliganism
in Kishtwar on Eid day. JKDFP spokesperson said that a few anti-social
elements tried to provoke Muslims before and after Eid prayers
in Kishtwar however the timely intervention of Abdul Qayoom
and others prevented the situation from turning to worse. It
was Abdul Qayoom who controlled Muslims and convinced them not
to react. It is unfortunate that police have registered case
against him and left the hooligans unaccountable which is shameful.JKDFP
spokesperson said in a statement that policy of subjugation
and repression against the pro-freedom people in nook and corner
has touched new heights the rule of law is something not made
for the disputed region. Terming the registration of cases against
Abdul Qayoom Matto and other as unjustified and worst form of
vengeance, JKDFP spokesperson said that authorities should instead
arrest those elements who tried to provoke Muslims of the area.

in his condolence message from Tihar jail, Delhi has termed
the killing of Shujaat Bukhari as his personal loss. Shujaat
Bukhari was an asset and to eliminate such a man of great intellect
is undoubtedly the result of some conspiracy, Fayaz Sodagar
said while quoting his incarcerated party chief, Shabir Shah.
JKDFP delegation while paying tributes to the noted journalist
of sub-continent said that his role as a professional will always
be remembered. Those who killed Shujaat Bukhari had an aim to
damage the Kashmiri society on intellectual front. Shujaat Bukhari’s
killing has proved that unknown gunmen are enemies to Kashmir
and Kashmiri cause so their activities should be condemned in
one voice. Had the vicious activities of unknown gunmen been
checked initially they would not have gather courage to kill
the most prominent person of journalism in Kashmir. But it is
unfortunate that unknown gunmen are being secured at government
level since last three decades. JKDFP prayed for the deceased
soul and expressed solidarity and condolences with the bereaved
family especially Shujaat Bukhari’s father. |

JKDFP asks India-Pak to
follow US-N Korea summit |
Srinagar June 12 : Jammu Kashmir
Democratic Freedom Party (JKDFP) has asked India and Pakistan
to follow the Singapore summit between the US and North Korea
and resume talks to ensure peaceful region and resolution of
all issues. The party said that the Singapore summit should
set precedence for both the bickering neighbors to follow."
If the United States and North Korea can return from the brink
of a nuclear flashpoint, there is no reason why India and Pakistan
cannot do the same,” JKDFP Secretary General Moulana Mohammad
Abdullah Tari said in a statement. He said that India-Pakistan
talks have assumed importance because Kashmir dispute is very
badly affecting their relations so both New Delhi and Islamabad
should begin dialogue on Kashmir as soon as possible and include
its true representatives into the process at a proper time.
Dialogue between Indian and Pakistan over Kashmir should resume
at earliest so that the long-festering Kashmir dispute is resolved
in accordance with the wishes of the people, Moulana Tari said."
The US and North Korea talks should be a model for India and
Pakistan. If they can return from their previous hostile positions
of attacking each other, India and Pakistan can also resume
composite dialogue,” Tari said.Moulana Tari said that building
confidence among the people of the region is possible only when
New Delhi and Islamabad will come closer and pledge to work
for the betterment of the people. As for as the confidence building
of the people of Jammu Kashmir is concerned, it can be done
through a number of measures and it can be started by releasing
all political prisoners.

Kashmiri prisoners are scripting
new history of resistance: JKDFP |
| Srinagar June 11 :Expressing
serious concern over the plight of prisoners including its incarcerated
chief Shabir Shah, Jammu Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party (JKDFP)
has reiterated that Kashmir dispute needs to be resolved keeping
in view its historical perspective to end all mayhem and bloodshed
in Kashmir. JKDFP Secretary General Moulana Mohammad Abdullah
Tari said in a statement that resolution of Kashmir dispute
is a guarantee to the secure, peaceful and prosperous south
Asia. Moulana Tari expressed dismay over the current human rights
situation in the disputed region and said that negative tendencies
lead to the ruining of human values. He urged the need to understand
the value of human lives, dignity and honor. Moulana Tari said
that negative tendencies have made the Indian leadership to
prolong their illegal occupation of Jammu Kashmir and it
is leading to a situation where youth find no way out than to
take the path of gun.It is because of the same negative attitude
that a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Rajya Sabha MP DP Vats has
said “those pelting stones in Kashmir should be shot dead.”
Strongly condemning the BJP leader, Moulana Tari said that such
people have dominated the Indian political leadership that is
why they think and act against any resolution process. However,
Moulana Tari said that people like DP Vats should not be given
any heed. JKDFP Secretary General said that Kashmiri people
are celebrating Eid-al-Fitr in a situation where human rights
violations at the hands of the men in uniform are at its highest.
We have lost hundreds of our youngsters in recent past and the
occupational forces have damaged properties worth cores. Hundreds
of people including JKDFP chief Shabir Shah are languishing
in different jails only for advocating right to self determination.
Moulana Tari appealed people of Kashmir to held special prayers
for those languishing in jails including Shabir Shah and do
whatever they can for kith and kin of the martyrs prior to Eid
so that they can also celebrate Eid though without their loved
ones. Moulana Tari again expressed deep concern over the plight
of detainees languishing in different jails in and outside the
valley. He said that the prisoners are ill-treated for their
affiliation with freedom struggle and subjected to revenge.
He added that those in jails including Shabir Shah are scripting
a new history of resistance. |
Indian denial mode can only
worsen the situation: JKDFP |
Srinagar june 09 :Jammu
Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party (JKDFP) has reiterated that
people of the disputed region are pursuing for right to self-determination
as promised to them by the international community however they
are facing continuous denial from India which claims to be the
largest democracy of the world. It is unfortunate that Indian
political leadership continuously believes and practices deceptive
politics about Kashmir affecting not only the Kashmiri people
but peace and security of the whole region.
Spokesperson JKDFP said in a statement that New Delhi is continuously
practising the policy of obduracy and it does not try to read
the writing on the wall. Ironically, the pro-India politicians
of the disputed region are also not having such guts to show
New Delhi its right place. These power thirsty people only want
to prolong and strengthen their power by hook or by crook. New
Delhi and its local agents must not forget the fact that people
of Jammu Kashmir have rendered priceless sacrifices for their
acclaimed political rights. So the continuous denial mode on
their part will only aggravate the situation because people
of Jammu Kashmir will never surrender their rights come what
may.It is better to listen to the political demands of the people
of Jammu Kashmir and accept the reality that the political dispute
of Kashmir cannot be resolved by economic means and measures
rather it needs political steps to address it. Neither Indian
political leadership nor its local breed can make Kashmiri people
to give up their just struggle for freedom. Expressing its deep
concern over worst kind of human rights violations in Kashmir,
JKDFP spokesperson said that unabated killings and brutalities
by Indian forces can only worsen the situation. In his appeal
to UNO, Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, International
Red Cross and other international organisations for human rights,
the JKDFP spokesperson urged to take cognizance of rights violations
in the disputed region of Jammu Kashmir. |
Listen to political leaders
& stop bloodshed : JKDFP to India |
| Srinagar June 06 : Jammu Kashmir
Democratic Freedom Party (JKDFP) today exhibited solidarity
with the families of Shaheed Mudassir Ahmad and Shaheed Sheeraz
Ahmad of Parigam Kulgam and Lajoora Pulwama respectively. The
families had to face a lot of trouble in attaining the dead
bodies of the slain as they were made to wait for days together
by the so called administration. The duo was martyred in Tanghdar
Sector by Indian Army mast month along with three more unknown
youth. While paying tributes to the martyrs JKDFP spokesperson
said in a statement that unabated bloodshed is a matter of concern
for every justice loving person and JKDFP incarcerated chief
Shabir Shah had time and again warned New Delhi that it must
adopt political ways and measures to resolve the political dispute
of Kashmir according to the wishes of the people living here.
Had New Delhi listen to the politics of resistance leaders like
Shabir Shahthere would not have been bloodshed in the disputed
region. The irony is that leaders like Shabir Shah have been
pushed behind the bars on fake, fabricated, old and already
decided case which has made the atmosphere more suffocated.
If India sincerely wants to stop the ongoing bloodshed in the
disputed region, it must immediately give heed to the political
leadership and accept the historical perspective of the Kashmir
dispute. JKDFP spokesperson said that people of Jammu Kashmir
pursuing their right to self-determination are facing worst
type of state sponsored terrorism in the disputed region especially
Kashmir valley. He said that unabated killings and brutalities
at the hands of the men in uniform in nook and corner are worst
form of state terrorism and oppressed people are made to shoulder
the dead bodies every now and then. JKDFP in its appeal to UNO,
Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, International Red
Cross and other international organizations of human rights
urged to take cognizance of rights violations and added that
Kashmir's are worst sufferers |
Delhi Court fixes new date
in Shabir Shah’s case without proceedings: JKDFP |
| Srinagar June 05 : After a time
gap of about two and a half months, when the trial of the case
against incarcerated Freedom Party chairman, Shabir Shah resumed
yesterday the Special Court of Delhi without any proceedings
informed that the Judge has been transferred so the next date
of the case has been set on August 7.Jammu Kashmir Democratic
Freedom Party spokesperson said in a statement that after waiting
for hours together Shabir Shah’s lawyer was informed that the
new judge wants to study the case first. Judges either remain
on leave, they are being transferred or the prosecutor remains
absent, this has been the practice of Delhi Special Court ever
since the so called charge sheet was submitted by ED against
Shabir Shah in an old, fabricated and already decided case.
The spokesperson said that the latest move of the Special Delhi
Court has clearly exposed the fact that political leadership
of India wants to keep Shabir Shah behind bars and the judiciary
is making it possible for it by delaying the trail. Otherwise
there is no reason to keep Shabir Shah in jail because nothing
goes against him and the Indian government fully knows it that
is why it has started using its judiciary same as it used ED
first. The irony is that JKDFP jailed chairman, Shabir Shah
is seriously ill and suffering from many ailments but since
then he is not being provided any suitable medical assistance
by the Tihar jail authorities. In fact government of India is
trying to defeat the just politics of Shabir Shah by other means
after getting defeated by it. |

and Kulgam districts, as their families identified them through
their photographs. The martyred youth were buried somewhere
in south Kashmir .JKDFP said that Indian forces were on a killing
spree and could kill anybody, anywhere in the name of militancy
and infiltration. |

| Srinagar June 03 :Jammu Kashmir
Democratic Freedom Party (JKDFP) has expressed sympathy and
solidarity with the families whose kin have been martyred in
so called Tangdar gunfight and were dubbed as foreign infiltrators
by Indian forces and buried somewhere in north Kashmir. JKDFP
has stressed upon authorities to identify the bodies of martyrs
as soon as possible so that the concerned family’s troubles
are minimized to some level. The party expressed anguish over
dubbing of local youth as foreign infiltrators by Indian army.
The party spokesperson said in a statement that the party has
always raised doubt about those killed around the Loc and dubbed
as foreign infiltrators. Pertinently, Tangdar gunfight happened
on May 25 and Indian forces claimed they killed five foreign
infiltrators.The deceased were later buried in south Kashmir.
Now after around ten days, two families in south Kashmir have
claimed that the deceased include their kin. The families hail
from Parigam village of Kulgam district and Lajoora village
of Pulwama district.JKDFP spokespersons said that Indian forces
are on a killing spree and can kill anybody, anywhere in the
garb of militancy, infiltration etc. It is the duty of human
rights forums to keep a close vigil on the gunfights especially
taking place around the LoC. |
Rowdy Indian forces made
us weep again: JKDFP |
Srinagar June 02 : Terming the
mowing down of Kaiser Amin of Fateh Kadal to death as absolute
brutality of Indian forces, Jammu Kashmir Democratic Freedom
Party (JKDFP) has said that men in uniform have again made us
weep. The party expressed deep sorrow and anguish over the fact
that rowdy Indian forces are inventing new ways to kill and
injure our youth and get pleasure out of it. The party said
that the people who are at the helm of affairs in New Delhi
and Srinagar are completely unmoved by the killings of innocent
Kashmir's every now and then which is a matter of grave concern.
The JKDFP Spokesperson said in a statement that had the killer
forces personnel been brought to law, other men in uniform would
not have get encouraged. These forces are backed by the black
laws like AFSPA and hence are enjoying complete impunity. They
(Indian forces) think to kill and injure freedom loving Kashmir's
is in their ‘National interest’ and since they are being awarded
and honored for killing Kashmiri people, the Indian forces perform
accordingly.
Expressing serious concern over the ongoing human rights violations
by the men in uniform in nook and corner of the disputed region,
JKDFP Spokesperson said that running vehicles over peaceful
protesters clearly indicates that men in uniform are not accountable
anywhere. The party Spokesperson expressed shock over the fact
that Kaiser Amin was the lonely brother of two sisters who have
already lost their parents. He said that Kashmir has become
the land of tragedies and Indian forces have turned it into
a real hell by killing, maiming and disrespecting the people
of the disputed region whose only sin is that they demand the
same right to self determination which is promised and accepted
by the international community. So, the same international community
is morally duty bound to use its good offices to stop India
from performing like a cruel imperialist against the people
of Jammu Kashmir. |
Kashmir's are victims of
unruly government forces : JKDFP |
| the Srinagar June 01 : Expressing
serious concern over the ongoing human rights violations by
the men in uniform in nook and corner of the disputed region,
Jammu Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party (JKDFP) has said that
trying to set ablaze residential houses during nights clearly
indicates that men in uniform are not accountable anywhere .JKDFP
spokesperson said in a statement that the incident which took
place in Gandbugh Kakapora is not only highly condemnable but
the concerned human rights organizations should take serious
note of it. Vandalizing of graves by Indian forces is also a
new edition to the ongoing oppression in the region. The government
forces have in fact let loose a reign of terror by violating
every human right throughout the valley turning the life of
the common people into a hell. The men in uniform are also on
an arrest spree throughout valley even hundreds of innocent
people mostly youth are languishing in different jails, police
stations and torture centers. The arrests are being made on
fictitious allegations which forces fail to prove before courts.
However, when courts pass bail orders they are not honored by
the police authorities making a joke of the whole judicial system.
Democratic Freedom Party expresses its deep anguish over the
ongoing rights violations and oppressive measures at the government
level. Terming the disputed region as a lawless land where the
men in uniform work on their own choice, Freedom Party said
that mere statements of so called rulers are only proving salt
on the wounds of oppressors. Democratic Freedom Party statement
appealed the international and local human rights bodies, forums
and individuals to take serious cognizance of the worst situation
of the disputed region so that unruly forces and authorities
are tamed. |

Asia and Shaheedah Neelofar, two young women of Shopian who
were raped and murdered by the men in uniform in 2009.Paying
tributes to the slain duo, a JKDFP spokesperson said in a statement
that India has been using rape as a war weapon against the oppressed
Kashmir's who have been struggling for their right to self determination
since decades together. Strongly condemning the Indian probe
agencies for not delivering justice to the people of Kashmir,
the JKDFP spokesperson demanded an international probe into
all the killings in Kashmir including the dual rape and murder
of Asia and Neelofar. He said it is very important to punish
the culprits behind rapes and killings and only this can prove
a powerful confidence building measure. It is also the
responsibility of the justice loving people in and outside Kashmir
to remain fighting for the victims like Asia and Neelofar. San
people in India should also raise their voice in favour of an
international probe into the heinous crimes like that of the
murdering of Asia and Neelofar because Indian agencies have
miserably failed and proved mere puppets. Exhibiting solidarity
and sympathy with the family of Asia and Neelofar, the JKDFP
spokesperson said that whole nation stands united against the
killers of two young ladies whose souls are still searching
for justice. Meanwhile, the JKDFP spokesperson strongly condemned
the hooliganism of Indian forces exhibited in Sugan village
of Shopian district. He said that the way Indian forces ransacked
and vandalized residential houses and Apple orchards at Sugan
it proves that these forces think Kashmiri people as their conquered
slaves. Expressing solidarity and sympathy with those who suffered
losses at the hands of Indian forces, the JKDFP spokesperson
said that damaging public property by government forces is the
sheer example of state sponsored terrorism. |
If India is serious in talks
it must engage all parties of dispute: JKDFP |
Srinagar May 29 ; Reacting to
Indian Home Minister Rajnath Singh’s statement about talks,
Jammu Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party (JKDFP) today said that
Kashmir's have always maintained that all disputes are to be
resolved through dialogue however the dialogue process has its
necessities which are a must to complete so as to make the process
result oriented. JKDFP secretary general, Moulana Mohammad Abdullah
Tari said in a statement that New Delhi must not use the term
‘talks’ only before media but it should use dialogue as an institution
to resolve the long pending Kashmir dispute. The principal party
of the Kashmir dispute, Kashmiri people, are looking for peace
as they are the main sufferers of the dispute so it is our firm
belief that dialogue should not be a mere photo session but
it must lead to the resolution .Moulana Tari said that dialogue
is the only effective tool to resolve issues however it must
be held only to find a solution rather adding to the problem.
If Indian Home Minister is serious in his statement he must
order his forces to barracks, engage all the parties of the
dispute and release all political prisoners so that a conducive
atmosphere is made which can lead to a result oriented dialogue,
Moulana Tari said and added that these are not any conditions
to dialogue but its necessities.

its concern over the plight of Kashmiri prisoners lodged in
different jails, Jammu Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party (JKDFP)

safeguard the lives of Kashmiri inmates including Shabir Shah
who has been booked in an old fabricated case of 2005.As per
media reports, the Kashmir's arrested by the Enforcement Directorate
(ED) and National Investigation Agency (NIA) and lodged
in Delhi’s Tihar Jail have moved a joint application before
the Director General Prisons, Delhi to lodge them together in
a single compartment, or at least separate them from other prisoners
who are in jail for different criminal cases as they feel insecure
with them. Pertinently, JKDFP chief Shabir Shah has been lodged
in a small cell with open commode in solitary confinement which
has added to his miseries. Shabir Shah is suffering from many
ailments and jail authorities are fully aware of his worst health
conditions. It is high time for Director General Prisons, Delhi
t act according to the application moved by the Kashmiri prisoners.
The JKDFP spokesperson said that it is not proper for jail authorities
to fell prey to the politics being played with Kashmiri prisoners
including Shabir Shah. Indian judiciary has already succumbed
before the political leadership of its country. It is evident
by the fact that it is not passing a single bail order in favour
of the Kashmiri prisoners despite the fact that ED or NIA has
completely failed in proving any charges against the accused
including Shabir Shah. Even the legal experts are surprised
by the behavior of Judiciary against the Kashmiri prisoners.
Meanwhile, Freedom Party spokesperson strongly condemned the
pellet firing inside the Srinagar Jamia Masjid premises injuring
at least two dozen people. This has again proved that men in
uniform are indulging in gross human rights violations are they
are not interested in peace. The spokespersons prayed for the
speedy recovery of the injured. |
Let UNMOGIP play its role
to end Indo-Pak border skirmishes : JKDFP |
| Srinagar May 23 : Expressing
serious concern over the fresh border skirmishes between India
and Pakistan and the killings on both sides, Jammu Kashmir democratic
Freedom Party (JKDFP) today appealed the UN Military Observer
Group in India and Pakistan (UNMOGIP) to play its mandated role
in ending the border clashes between the two countries. JKDFP
secretary general, Molana Mohammad Abdullah Tari expressed deep
and serious concern over the plight of the people living near
the Line of Control (Loc) and International Border (IB) due
to the escalation of tension between India and Pakistan. He
made it clear that the basic fissure between the two countries
is because of the long pending Kashmir dispute. Molana Tari
said that the tension between the two countries can engulf the
entire region. He appealed to the international community to
play its role 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. |
Tourist’s death unfortunate
: JKDFP |
Expresses grief over another
civilian’s passing away
Srinagar May 08 : Jammu Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party (JKDFP)
today expressed dismay over the death of a Tamil Nadu Tourist
, Thirumani at Narbal area and said that whole Kashmiri nation
is grieved over the incident even we are being mercilessly killed
and maimed by the Indian forces. A JKDFP spokesperson said in
a statement that tourists are being targeted by elements who
are hell bent to give the ongoing freedom movement a bad name.
These elements have in future also tried to damage the freedom
struggle of Kashmiri people but have failed so we firmly believe
that anti-movement elements will fail again in their efforts.
The party termed the Narbal incident as unfosssrtunate and expressed
solidarity with the bereaved Chennai family. JKDFP also expressed
grief and sorrow over the passing away of another Shopian youth,
Sufail Ahmad Bhat at SMHS. Sufail was injured by Indian forces
and he succumbed today. The party prayed for the speedy recovery
of all the injured who are undergoing treatment. A JKDFP spokesperson
expressed solidarity with the parents of Sufail Ahmad, a resident
of Dachoo Shopian. Meanwhile, JKDFP delegations visited south
Kashmir areas and expressed solidarity with the families of
those martyred or injured by the men in uniform in Shopian.
A delegation led by Engineer Farooq Khan visited Dooru and Kulgam,
another delegation led by Tanveer Ahmad reached Nagbal Shopian,
delegation led by Mohammad Amin went to Rohmu Pulwama and the
fourth delegation led by Majid Ahmad visited Ganderbal.While
paying rich and glowing tributes to Shaheed Saddam Paddar, Shaheed
Bilal Ahmad, Shaheed Dr Rafi Ahmad, Shaheed Adil Malik and Shaheed
Touseef Ahmad and six slain civilians, JKDFP said that whole
Kashmir is in mourning after the unfortunate killings and injuring
of people at Shopian. India and its local agents are busy in
a well planned genocide of Kashmiri people so that people living
in this part of the world will be terrorised. However the freedom
loving Kashmiris have time and again proved that they are a
mature nation and cannot surrender their political rights despite
Indian oppression and suppression. |
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. |

land of Kashmir not Kashmiri people: JKDFP |
| Srinagar May 06 : While paying
rich and glowing tributes to Shaheed Saddam Paddar, Shaheed
Bilal Ahmad, Shaheed Dr Rafi Ahmad, Shaheed Adil Malik and Shaheed
Touseef Ahmad and five slain civilians, Jammu Kashmir Democratic
Freedom Party (JKDFP) has said that India is interested only
in Kashmir land without Kashmiri people. A Freedom Party delegation
led by Engineer Farooq Khan visited the areas where brave hearts
and innocent civilians were laid to rest and exhibited solidarity
with the bereaved families.JKDFP said that New Delhi is busy
in a well planned genocide of Kashmiri people because it is
interested in Kashmir without Kashmiri people who fight for
their political rights since last seven decades. The party warned
that if the killing spree is not stopped immediately and people
are not heard, the situation would turn uglier and beyond any
body’s control.The party expressed shock and grief over the
fresh killings by the occupied forces and their collaborators
in Shopian including brave hearts and unarmed civilians. Terming
the killings as unfortunate, a Freedom Party spokesperson said
in a statement that Kashmiri people are being killed only for
their pro-freedom sentiment. The only aim of this ongoing genocide
is only to terrify the freedom loving Kashmiri people.The Freedom
Party spokesperson said that Kashmiris are being massacred by
the so called largest democracy of the world and irony is that
the whole world is watching as mute spectator. Freedom Party
reiterated its appeal to the international community to act
before Kashmiris are wiped out by India. |
Shabir Shah suffering from
serious ailments, needs immediate treatment : JKDFP |
31 years of imprisonment
can’t break my resolve’
Srinagar May 04:Democratic Freedom Party (DFP) Thursday said
its ailing and incarcerated chairman, Shabir Ahmad Shah even
after completing 31 years of imprisonment, is as strong as he
was in 1968.Addressing a presser here, DFP leaders said that
Shah’s wife accompanied by her elder daughter succeeded in meeting
DFP chairman for 18 minutes only after waiting for at least
five hours on the jail gate and going through intense 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. All these tests and diagnosis
took the jail authorities months together, though all ailments
were of emergency nature. Medical reports provided by Shah clearly
say that expert doctors have advised immediate treatment of
the jailed 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"." Now when his health condition has further
deteriorated which has endangered his life, we stress upon the
human rights organizations to come to the rescue of the ‘Prisoner
of Conscience’ before it is too late. We further warn New Delhi
and its local agents of dire consequences if anything happened
to our beloved leader,” they added. Meanwhile, DFP leaders said
that they are saddened by the killing of a minor boy, Umar Kumhar,
son of Abdullah Kumhar by forces in Turkewangam Shopian.“We
also condemn the use of brute force against unarmed protesters
and injuring of dozens. We pray for their speedy recovery,”
they said. |

authorities around 5 months to make the diagnoses. He has been

Shabir Shah’s struggle a
source of inspiration for young 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 sacrifices. Meanwhile, the
APHC leaders briefed the PaK premier about the prevailing political
and human rights situation in Kashmir. |

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. |

Tral were martyred along with two non local brave hearts in

can break their resolve, the spokesperson added.The JKDFP expressed

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

Closing Schools, Colleges
every now and then unfortunate : JKDFP |
| 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. Molana Tari said that every civilized society and government
has always accepted and honored the student voices but
it is utmost unfortunate that even students are being harassed
and treated as criminals in Kashmir. Molana Tari said that threatening
Students will yield nothing but disaster. He said that using
police against the youth at every step has injured the self
respect of the Students so whenever they get any chance they
try to give vent to their anger and political aspirations. He
expressed dismay over the injuring of many students recently
and prayed for their speedy 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. The Student community
is our future and we cannot remain insensitive regarding their
education. We strongly stress upon the administration not to
spoil the future of our nation by placing curbs on Schools and
Colleges. Our Students are fully aware of their responsibilities
and cannot remain mute spectators to the day today happenings
in the disputed region. Molana Tari however appealed the Students
to empower themselves with knowledge so that our freedom struggle
passes on to the educated citizens. |
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. |

facing at the hands of India and its local agents. Paying his
heartfelt tributes to slain Amir a JKDFP spokesperson said that
whenever Kashmiris try to raise their voice, they are being
targeted by bullets and pellets at the behest of those politicians
who used to be so called champions of civil liberty when out

have jailed the leaders like JKDFP chief Shabir Ahmad Shah only
to create political vacuum among Kashmiri people. It is again
these so called rulers who have booked our youth in fake cases
and have destroyed their future.JKDFP stressed upon people to
remain vigilant against these anti-Kashmir power thirsty elements

Pakistani Army chiefs for advocating peace and resolution of

act together, sit down together, work together and make sure
that we all get united and bring about peace.”Molana Tari said
that time has come for the final settlement of Kashmir dispute
as it has badly hit the economies of India and Pakistan resulting
in countless issues in both the neighboring countries.
At a time when both the Armies are advocating peace their respective
political leaderships should also follow and accept the facts
about a political dispute which is endangering stability of
the whole region. |

for peaceful, stable south Asia : JKDFP |

. and it is leading to a situation where youth find no
way out than to take the path of gun . JKDFP Secretary General
expressed shock over the shameful incident of Kathua and said
that even police charge sheet has vindicated that Muslims of
Jammu region are living under a constant threat from the fanatic
elements. Advocating stringent punishment for the perpetrators
of the shocking crime in Kathua, Molana Tari said that chastity,
honor and dignity of every woman and girl is of utmost value,
may it be our daughters in Kunan Poshpora, Shopian or little
angel of Kathua. Molana Tari strongly condemned the naked dance
of death and destruction going on in nook and corner of the
disputed region and said that Kashmiri’s minds and hearts are
badly maimed by the continuous killings that take place every
now and then. The only reason for the ongoing bloodshed is that
New Delhi is not ready to change its illogical stance about
Kashmir dispute. Expressing concern over the border skirmishes
along the LoC or International Border, Molana Tari said that

and Pakistan which also affects Kashmiris the most. He said

can be no peace and stability between them. |

crush the freedom sentiment of the people of Jammu Kashmir however
their every effort will fail as in past. The only way to win
the hearts and minds of the people of Kashmir is to accept their
long pending demand of plebiscite so that they can determine

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. The meeting expressed
serious concern over the continued detention and deteriorating
health condition of incarcerated Party Chairman Shabir Ahmed
Shah. |
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. |

2017. The party also remembered 20-year-old Umer Farooq Ganie
of Baroosa Gander bal, who was mercilessly killed by Indian
forces on the same day. A Freedom Party spokesman said that
killing spree which started three decades before in Kashmir
has not ended and India is on path of genocide in the disputed
region to kill and crush the freedom struggle of the people
of Kashmir. The party stressed upon human rights organizations
on international level to come to the rescue of Kashmiri people
who are being massacred only for demanding their political 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 so. The party said that atrocities and tyranny cannot resolve
the long pending dispute of Kashmir so New Delhi must come forward
with a political package which can create an atmosphere to hold
a free and fare plebiscite in the disputed region as promised
by the United Nations and endorsed by India. |
Fresh arrest spree will
make youth further angry : JKDFP |
| Srinagar April 07: Strongly
condemning the latest arrest spree in nook and corner of the
valley, especially in district Budgam, Jammu Kashmir Democratic
Freedom Party (JKDFP) today said that on one hand the men in
uniform are killing our youth on one pretext or the other and
on the other hand they are being arrested for raising their
voice against the ongoing Indian tyranny. A JKDFP spokesperson
vehemently denounced the night raids in Budgam district especially
Ompora area where several youths have been arrested. The spokesman
said that the fresh arrest spree has been started to crush the
rising voices and such acts are sure to push the youth further
to wall and will have negative impressions. Condemning repression
and despotism against the youth, the JKDFP spokesman said it
only proves India’s deceptive politics. Expressing serious concern
over the increasing rights violations by the men in uniform
in nook and corner of KashmirJKDFP said that methods of oppression
and suppression only increase the intensity of anger among the
suppressed people. He said that arrests can not deter people
from demanding their birth right accepted and endorsed by international
forums like UNSC.The JKDFP spokesman stated that New Delhi must
shun the path of unscrupulous strategy about Kashmir and adopt
a policy which can pave way for the resolution of this long
pending Kashmir issue. The resolution of the Kashmir dispute
is sure to assure a flourishing subcontinent and a stable south
Asia. Paying rich tributes to Shaheed Mussavir Ahmad Wani of
Delipora, Pulwama, the JKDFP spokesman said that our heroes
will be remembered for their velour and valuable sacrifices
for freedom from India. He said that Shaheed Mussavir and other
martyrs have in fact increased our responsibilities to safeguard
the precious freedom movement from being derailed. It is our
utmost obligation to secure the great sacrifices of our martyrs
like Shaheed Mussavir Ahmad. The party spokesman also exhibited
solidarity with the martyr’s family members specially parents.

Jammu Kashmir turned into
police state : JKDFP |
Party aghast over restrictions,
beating, arresting students
Srinagar April 06 : Jammu Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party (JKDFP)
has strongly condemned the imposition of restrictions, beating
and arresting of students and over all atrocities by the men
in uniform on Kashmiri people." Indian atrocities in Kashmir
can never suppress a just indigenous political struggle for
self-determination,” the JKDFP spokesperson said in a statement.
“Brutalities of Indian forces and their collaborators against
innocent civilians in Kashmir are highly condemnable,” the statement
said and added that stopping Kashmiri people from performing
their religious obligations and confine their movement has become
order of the day. The people are not being allowed to raise
their voice democratically and even students are not allowed
to protest. The spokesperson condemned in strongest words
the beating of students in Srinagar and other parts of the valley
only because they wanted to raise their voice against the recent
killings. The men in uniform have also arrested many protesting
students and other people showing that the disputed region has
been turned into a police state in real terms. |

:JKDFP |
| Srinagar April 04 : Expressing
shock and grief over the killing of yet another youth, Gowhar
Ahmad Rather, of Kangan, by the men in uniform, Jammu Kashmir
Democratic Freedom Party (JKDFP) has called upon the High Commissioner
for the Human Rights to send a fact finding mission to Kashmir.
The party secretary general, Molana Mohammad Abdullah Tari reiterated
his party stand and stressed upon the UN Secretary General to
appoint a Special Envoy for Jammu Kashmir with a mandate to
implement UN Security Council resolutions. Molana Tari said
that our youth are being massacred every now and then so the
world body must not confine to mere lip service. Molana Tari
again expressed deep shock and grief on the indiscriminate and
vicious killing of Kashmiri youth by the Indian forces and their
local collaborators. He said that forces even attacked
the mourners and protesters resulting in injuries to over 200
civilians among whom many were reported to be in a critical
condition. Molana Tari emphasized that Indian attempts to label
the legitimate Kashmir struggle as terrorism cannot deter the
valiant people of Jammu Kashmir from exercising their right
to self-determination in accordance with the United Nations
(UN) resolutions. He called on the international community to
urge India to allow access to UN observers to lead fact-finding
missions to Jammu Kashmir. Molana Tari also condemned the Indian
brutalities in the occupied region. Indian atrocities in occupied
region can never suppress a just and indigenous political struggle
for self-determination, the party spokesman said. He said that
the brutalities committed by the Indian forces against innocent
civilians in nook and corner are highly condemnable and world
community must take strong note of i |
JKDFP condemns silence of
world community over Kashmir, party delegation visits martyr’s
homes . |
| Srinagar April 03 : A delegation
of Jammu Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party (JKDFP) today visited
houses of various martyrs in Shopian district who were martyred
by Indian occupied forces recently. The delegation led by Engineer

Shopian, Trenz, Safnagri, Pinjura, nagebal, Sugan, Worepora
and other places emphasized upon people to strictly adhere to
the mission of the martyrs who lay down their precious lives
to achieve freedom from the clutches of Indian slavery. The
delegation said that though Kashmiri people are on path of a
political struggle but few of our youth have opted for gun only
because New Delhi’s undemocratic attitude and the continuous
silence of the international community. The delegation expressed
its dismay over the fact that New Delhi is busy in gross human
rights violations in the occupied territory but the world community
is only concerned about its economic benefits. Unless and until
the international community shuns its economic attitude and
looks into the issues humanly, the disputes like Kashmir will
continue to spill the blood of human beings. So it is the call
of the time to address the Kashmir dispute politically so that
it is resolved according to the wishes of the people. |
Red hot blood being spilt
in streets of Kashmir won’t go in vain : Mehmood Sagharssss |
| Islamabad April 02 :Voicing
his deep concern over the recent killing spree in Kashmir the
former convener of All Parties Hurriyat Conference (Pak Chapter)
and vice president of Democratic Freedom Party Mehmood Ahmed
Saghar on Monday urged the international community particularly
the united nations to resolve lingering Kashmir dispute, which
he said was the main cause of rights violations and tension
in the region." The people specially the youth of Kashmir are
being killed day in and day out by unbridled trigger-happy Indian
forces but it is quite unfortunate that the world community
is watching this macabre game of bloodbath in Kashmir like that
of a bystander”, the DFP leader said adding that it was high
time that the global community must shun its policy of indifference
towards the miseries of Kashmir and come forward in a big way
to help resolve this long outstanding issue. that has taken
a heavy toll on the people of the state in terms of death and
destruction Referring to the devastating impact of the conflict
on the society Saghar said that the deadly conflict on one hand
had consumed three consecutive generations of Kashmir while
on the other the state sponsored terrorism has torn apart the
social fabric besides inflicting massive economic, academic
and other losses to Kashmiri people. While denouncing use of
brute force and cold-blooded murder of 17 Kashmiris by Indian
troops Saghar said that the massacre of youth in South Kashmir
must serve as eye-opener to the world community. “It is time
that the international community must wakeup and see how a country
that portrays itself as the largest democracy of the contemporary
world is killing, maiming and blinding Kashmiris for demanding
their birthright”, he said adding that Kashmiris were fighting
for a just and legitimate cause that has been guaranteed to
them by no less and authority than united nations, which, he
said, was ratified by both the countries (India and Pakistan).
Lauding the sacrifices of Kashmiri youth the DFP leader said
that the brave sons of the soil have been rewriting the history
of resistance in Kashmir by their blood and this red hot blood
being spilt on the streets won’t go in vain. He said that the
day was not far when people of Kashmir will achieve their long
cherished goal |

fresh killings, injuries, Situation if not addressed properly
can prove disastrous |
| Srinagar April 01 : Expressing
deep shock and grief over the fresh killings and maiming at
the hands of occupied forces in Kashmir, Jammu Kashmir Democratic
Freedom Party (JKDFP) today warned that if the situation was
left undressed it can prove disastrous as nobody can control
it then. JKDFP Secretary General, Molana Mohammad Abdullah Tari

as our youth are being continuously killed on one pretext or
the other. He expressed shock over the martyrdom of brave hearts

the killing of an unarmed youth and injuring of dozens at the
hands of the men in uniform." If the Kashmir situation is not
addressed properly it has every potential to go out of control
of everybody,” Molana Tari said adding if the killing spree
does not end immediately the circumstances can go anybody’s
beyond control. One wonders how the situation can improve in
Kashmir, Molana Tari said and added on one hand genuine leaders
like Shabir Ahmad Shah are continuously behind bars facing fabricated
charges and on the other claims are being made that dialogue
process has been initiated in Kashmir. Unless and until leaders
like Shabir Shah are allowed to reach the people, there can
be no change on ground because leaders like Shabir Shah have
the mandate of the people of all religions, regions and sects.
Molana Tari said that addressing Kashmir issue politically is
need of the hour so that the ongoing killing spree is stopped.
He added that releasing leaders like Shabir Shah is a requirement
of every political process. Paying rich and glowing tributes
to those martyred in Shopian and Anantnag districts, MolanaS
Tari said that youth are rendering matchless sacrifices to achieve
the goal of freedom and it is the foremost duty of every citizen
of the disputed region to secure the great sacrifices by advocating
a meaningful political process. Molana Tari said that rising
graph of killings and other human rights violations in Kashmir
should serve as an eye-opener for the world human rights bodies.
He impressed upon the world community to use their good offices
to stop India from killing and maiming Kashmiri people. |
JKDFP expresses concern
over day to day CASOs in nook and corner |
| Srinagar March 31 : Expressing
serious concern over the unabated human rights violations including
harassment and detention of youth and the frequent search operations
carried out by Indian forces in every nook and corner of the
disputed territory, Jammu Kashmir Democratic Freedom Partry
(JKDFP) today said that every oppressive measure is destined
to fail before people’s aspirations and valor.JKDFP Secretary
General, Molana Mohammad Abdullah Tari in a statement urged
the world human rights bodies to take strong notice of these
human rights violations committed by the Indian forces in the
Kashmir valley in particular." We strongly condemn the harassment
of people and vandalizing of properties in the name of cordon
and search operations (CASOs) in length and breadth of Kashmir,"
Molana Tari said. He maintained that justice continued to elude the
residents of the disputed region even after the passage of seven
decades .Molana Tari said that rising graph of human rights
violations in Kashmir should serve as an eye-opener for the
world human rights bodies. He impressed upon the world community
to use their good offices to stop India from harassing the youth
of Kashmir, insulting even the old and women and arresting everyone
who tries to raise voice against the continuous Indian tyranny.
He said that our party leader, Shabir Ahmad Shah and hundreds
of others have been placed behind bars to suppress the voices
of oppressed Kashmiris. Shabir Shah and other political prisoners
are facing fabricated charges and they are deprived of their
basic rights in different jails. On the other hand the whole
nation is suffering at the hands of Indian forces and their
collaborators, Molana Tari said, and added that militarization
has turned the whole disputed region into a garrison. |

martyrs Ishfaq Majeed, Dr Abdul Ahad Guru, Shabir Sidiqi
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

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.

Sehrai's regarding the unity of resistance camp in light of
the 1993 All Party Hurriyat Conference (APHC) constitution,

Tari said in a statement that incarcerated leader Shabir Ahmad
Shah had repeatedly emphasized the need to restore the 1993
constitution of All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC) and unite

to join one of the Hurriyat factions in recent past he had set
it a condition that the efforts to restore the 1993 constitution
will be increased and all the resistance parties will be made
part of it. The policy of our incarcerated leader from day one
has been that unity can minimize our sufferings and our goal
will come closer. Terming the statement of Mohammad Ashraf Sehrai's
a support of Shabir Shah’s policy, Molana Tari said that unity
was and is a necessity and to reinstate the1993 APHC constitution
is the only way out for a broader unity among the resistance
parties.He said that the unity within the resistance camp worked
and had a positive impact for so many years in the beginning
however unfortunately some issues damaged it later. The time
is ripe to forge a unity among all in light of the 1993 All
Party Hurriyat Conference (APHC) constitution so that the nation
feels empowered, Molana Tari said. |

Advocate Jalil Andrabi |
| Srinagar March 27 : Jammu Kashmir
Democratic Freedom Party (JKDFP) while paying tributes to Shaheed
Advocate Jalil Andrabi on his martyrdom anniversary said that
Indian forces killed the legend mercilessly only because he
was a great advocate of rights of the people of Jammu Kashmir.
Shaheed Advocate Jalil Andrabi was a great human rights activists
and a strong supporter of the freedom movement so the occupied

precious life for a sacred cause and it is now our responsibility
to take his mission forward. JKDFP statement said that nation
is indebted to the great martyrs like Shaheed Advocate Jalil
Andrabi. We will leave no stone unturned in order to fulfill
their sacred mission of freedom, JKDFP said. The party said
that role of Shaheed Advocate Jalil Andrabi will always be written
in golden words. He was a great professional and was martyred
only for being a freedom loving person. The body of forty-two-year-old
Jalil Andrabi, a human rights lawyer and pro-freedom activist,
was found in the Kursu Rajbagh area of Srinagar on the banks
of the Jhelum River on the morning of March 27, 1996. He was
kidnapped on March 8, 1996 by Indian forces when he was travelling

needs to be addressed politically and the best way to resolve
it is to implement the UN resolutions passed from time to time.

Rigid policy of New Delhi
forcing youth to choose gun : JKDFP |
| Srinagar March 24 : Jammu Kashmir
Democratic Freedom Party (JKDFP) has paid rich tributes to two
brave hearts who achieved martyrdom in Dooru area of Anantnag
(Islamabad) district. Two brave hearts were martyred early today
at the hands of Indian occupied forces during a gunfight in
Shastargam village of Dooru. Expressing concern over the day
to day martyrdoms of brave hearts, JKDFP said in a statement
that our youngsters are rendering tremendous sacrifices to achieve
freedom from India and everybody among us is duty bound to secure
and safeguard these great sacrifices. Paying tributes to the
departed brave hearts, JKDFP said that the natural outcome of
repression is rebellion and resistance and the more New Delhi
decides to deal with the situation on ground through repression
the more people of Kashmir especially the youth will be forced
to resist and rebel.JKDFP reiterated its stand and said that
Kashmir is a political and human issue which needs a political
and humanistic approach in dealing with it and that the best
way to resolve it is to implement the UN resolutions passed
from time to time. 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. |

intellectual loss: JKDFP |
| Srinagar March 20 : Jammu Kashmir
Democratic Freedom Party has expressed deep grief and sorrow
over the demise of writer, poet and Journalist, Maqbool Sahil.
The party condoled his passing away and said that his death
is a great intellectual loss. The party said that Maqbool Sahil
had interviewed incarcerated Freedom Party chief Shabir Shah
some time before his arrest. Shabir Shah used to talk about
Maqbool Sahil’s person and his professional abilities. The party
has prayed for the eternal peace of the soul of Maqbool Sahil
and patience of his nears and dears. |
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. |
JKDFP pays tributes to martyrs
of Balhama. |
| 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. |

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. |

JKDFP concerned on unabated
bloodshed in Kashmir. |
| 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. |
JKDFP decries authorities’
attitude towards Shabir Shah |
| Srinagar Feb 28 : The incarcerated
chairman of Jammu Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party (DFP) Shabir
Shah has revealed before the Patiala House Court, Delhi, that
the medical staff in Delhi mocked him for his stand on Kashmir
issue, according to DFP statement condemning the incident. “Shabir
Shah was brought to a court in Delhi yesterday where he told
JKDFP decries authorities’ attitude towards Shabir Shah he judge
that whenever he is taken to any hospital for checkup, the health
authorities ask him sarcastic questions that he is the person
who wants Azadi, he wants freedom from India etc,” a spokesman
of the DFP, in a statement today, said, adding that “Shabir
Shah urged the court that he may be provided medical facilities
as he is suffering from multiple life risking ailments.” |
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.

to the wishes of the people, the situation between Indian and

entire region and lead to a full-fledged war.Moulana Tari appealed
the United Nations and all influential countries to play their
part in diffusing the present crisis on the borders of Kashmir
and stress upon New Delhi to shun the path of stubbornness and
take concrete measure to resolve the long pending Kashmir dispute.

Shifting Kashmiri prisoners
to Jammu poses risk to 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 S |
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. |

pilot Nadeem Khateeb |
| Srinagar February 20 : Jammu
Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party (JKDFP) has remembered Shaheed
pilot Nadeem Khateeb on his 19th martyrdom anniversary .Shaheed
Nadeem Khateeb opted for sacrificing his life for freedom despite
being a pilot who could have enjoyed life in countries like
US. Nadeem Khateeb belonged to Chanab valley. His family has
the distinction of always supporting the cause of people’s Right
to Self Determination because of which it constantly suffered
victimization. After pursuing his education from Tyndale Biscoe
School, Srinagar along with some pioneers of the ongoing movement,
including Shaheed Ashfaq Majid Wani, Shaheed Nadeem left Kashmir
and joined a flying school in Georgia, US. After obtaining his
flying license, he was taken as Flying Instructor in the same
flying school. Finally Nadeem Khateeb opted to serve the ongoing
freedom struggle and attained martyrdom in 1999 fighting Indian
occupational forces in Gool, Gulab Garh area of Udhampur. |
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. |

Kashmir, the Jammu and Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party (JKDFP)
has said that settlement of the Kashmir dispute is imperative
for peace and development in the region. The DFP General Secretary,
Muhammad Abdullah Tari in a statement in Srinagar said that
hostility had to be avoided if New Delhi was interested in resolving
the dispute. He maintained that the Kashmiri people are peace-loving
and the stability of the entire region is linked to peace in
Kashmir. He urged New Delhi to change its stance on Kashmir
so that an atmosphere is created which can lead to prosperity.
He said that jailing political leaders like Shabir Ahmed Shah
had yielded nothing in the past and it was sure to prove failure
even in future. He said curbs and restrictions on the movement
of Hurriyat leaders and activists every now and then speak volumes
about the frustration of the puppet authorities. |
If disputes are to be resolved
animosity has to be shun : Molana Tari |
| Srinagar February 15:The secretary
general of Jammu Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party (JKDFP) Molana
Muhammad Abdullah Tari again reiterated that resolution of long
pending Kashmir dispute is imperative to end the hostilities
between Indian and Pakistan and ensure the stability of South
Asian region. Molana Tari said in a statement that Party’s incarcerated
chief Shabir Ahmad Shah has been advocating throughout his political
career that if disputes are to be resolved animosity has to
be shun. “Hostility has to be avoided if New Delhi is interested
in resolving the dispute,” Molana Tari said adding “that will
create an atmosphere to start a purposeful dialogue to resolve
the dispute.” He stressed that Kashmiri people are peace loving
and the stability of the whole subcontinent is linked to peace
in Kashmir .JKDFP secretary general impressed upon New Delhi
to change its stance vis-à-vis Kashmir so that an atmosphere
is created which can lead to prosperity. He said that jailing
political leaders like Shabir Ahmad Shah has yielded nothing
in past and it is sure to prove a failure even today. 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. |

Ghulam Muhammad Bulla |
| Srinagar February 13 : The Jammu
Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party has paid rich and glowing tributes
to the great sacrifice of Shaheed Ghulam Muhammad Bulla, who
was tortured to death in the Central Jail Srinagar on 15 February,
1975 for braving the Indra-Abdullah Accord 1975 and to uphold
the right of self-determination of the Kashmiri people. 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. Besides many frontline pro-freedom leaders,
Shaheed Bulla had associations with Shaheed S Hamid and incarcerated
JKDFP chief, Shabir Ahmad Shah. |

its stance to resolve the Kashmir dispute, secretary general

killings in Shopian district has shaken the conscience of every
justice loving person however Indian judiciary has come in rescue
of its forces by staying the FIR against them who are already
enjoying laws of impunity. Molana Tari said that Indian judiciary
has already failed in delivering justice to JKDFP incarcerated
chief, Shabir Ahmad Shah, languishing in Tihar jail on a fabricated
case. Expressing deep concern over the border skirmishes between
India and Pakistan and human losses from both sides of LoC and
international border, Molana Tari said, “The uncertainty and
the confrontation between India and Pakistan so far has consumed
numerous precious lives and destruction of worth millions of
properties.” He said that if tangible steps are not taken on
priority bases to resolve Kashmir dispute, there can be more
destruction in South Asian region. Meanwhile Molana Tari paid
rich and glowing tributes to those martyred in recent gunfights
with Indian forces. He said that brave hearts are sacrificing
their lives in the way to achieve freedom so it is our collective
responsibility to safeguard their great sacrifices. |

Mehmood Saghar pays tribute
to Maqbool Bhat and Afzal Guru |
| Islamabad February 9: Senior
Vice president of Democratic Freedom Party and former convener
of All Parties Hurriyat Conference (Pak chapter) Mehmood Ahmed
Saghar has paid eulogizing tributes to Shaheed Maqbool Bhat
and Afzal 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. |

| Srinagar February 3: The maternal
aunt of incarcerated leader Shabir Ahmad Shah passed away this
morning. Jammu Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party (JKDFP) has
paid rich and glowing tributes to the deceased soul. A party

relatives of the deceased and expressed their condolence and
solidarity with them. The delegation members said that Shabir
Shah should have himself present at Anantnag but he is undergoing

present people to pray for the safety and release of Shabir
Shah |
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. |
ED officer asks Shabir Shah’s wife all old
questions. |
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. |
Trigger happy Indian forces
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” |

Khadwani Kulgam at the hands of Indian forces. The party also

in Kokernag area. JKDFP said the bloodbath of Kashmiri youth

terror across the valley. JKDFP also paid glowing tributes

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
to the wall and they are taking the path of gun. |

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. |

their mission forward. In a statement DFP said our martyrs
sacrificed their lives to liberate Jammu Kashmir from the

to awake the conscience of the world leadership but unfortunately
the international community doesn’t pressure India much to
resolve the Kashmir issue which ultimately boosts the morale
of India and its collaborators to continue playing with the
lives of innocent peopled paid tributes to Kashmir martyrs
saying their sacrifices won’t be allowed to go waste. |
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. |
India responsible for ongoing
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. |
