Shabir Shah vows to continue fight for Kashmir’s freedom from Indian Jail
New Delhi: Illegally detained Senior All Parties Hurriyat Conference leader Shabir Ahmed Shah has reiterated his resolve to continue the struggle for freedom of his oppressed people of occupied Jammu and Kashmir from slavery of India.
According to Kashmir Media Service, Shabbir Ahmad Shah, in a powerful message from Tihar Jail, India, to the young people of the territory, urged them to remain steadfast in their struggle for freedom and self-determination, come what may.
“My heart beats with the oppressed people of occupied Jammu and Kashmir, even in this notorious jail,” Shah said in his message. “My biggest wealth is my people. India may try new tactics every day, but it cannot break my resolve.”
Despite his imprisonment, Shah remains defiant, saying that he will continue to fight for the freedom of his people until his last breath. “We will not be intimidated by banning the parties, sealing our homes, sealing our offices, or harassing or arresting our workers. We will say the same thing even on the gallows: the Kashmir issue is a longstanding issue that needs to be resolved. Until this issue is resolved, there will be no peace in South Asia,” he said.
Meanwhile, another All Parties Hurriyat Conference leader, Muhammad Yousuf Naqash, in a statement in Srinagar expressed concern over India’s escalating hostilities towards Islam and Muslims in occupied Jammu and Kashmir and India, drawing parallels with Israel’s actions in Palestine.
He condemned the negative portrayal of Imam Khomeini in Indian publications, calling it an RSS agenda to fuel anti-Muslim sentiments. Naqash criticized the international community’s silence, emboldening India’s resolve.
