DFP hopes 2025 will be year of peace & liberation of Kashmir, Palestine
Islamabad: Jammu and Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party (DFP) has expressed the hope that 2025 will mark a turning point for peace and the liberation of Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir and Palestine.
According to Kashmir Media Service, DFP acting chairman Mahmood Ahmed Saghar, in a statement, highlighted the grim human rights situation in IIOJK, where he said Indian forces martyred 101 Kashmiris, including three minors, in 2024 alone.
“The continued bloodshed and violence have kept Kashmir under the shadow of repression for 77 years,” Saghar said.
Drawing parallels between the plights of Kashmir and Palestine, Saghar termed both regions as victims of settler colonialism. He condemned the systematic genocide of Palestinians by Israeli Zionists and the “slow-motion genocide” of Kashmiris under India’s RSS-influenced regime, describing them as “the biggest challenges to the world conscience.”
Saghar called upon the international community, particularly the United Nations, to take effective action against the brutal repression in both regions. He urged global powers to resolve these decades-old conflicts, which pose severe threats to international peace and security.
Expressing optimism, the DFP leader hoped that the new year would usher in an era of peace, prosperity, and freedom, especially for oppressed people in conflict-ridden regions like Kashmir and Palestine. He envisioned 2025 as a year of transformation, where justice and human dignity would prevail.
