Srinagar, June 17 : In occupied Kashmir, the speakers of a seminar in Srinagar have said that the people of Kashmir, while following the footsteps of martyrs, will continue to offer sacrifices for taking the liberation movement to its logical end.
Addressing a seminar held to pay tribute to prominent Kashmiri scholar, Qazi Nisar, for his services for the Kashmir cause, the speakers said that the sacrifices of Kashmiri martyrs highlighted the Kashmir dispute at the international level.
They said that Kashmiris would continue their struggle till the complete withdrawal of Indian troops from the territory, as it was not a war for perks and privileges but a just struggle for securing right to self-determination. They said that the sacrifices of Kashmiri martyrs would not be allowed to go waste.
Condemning the illegal arrest of Hurriyet leaders, the speakers said that such tactics could not weaken the sentiments of Kashmiris. They added that India should realise the ground reality in the occupied territory and come forward to resolve the Kashmir dispute in accordance with the Kashmiris’ aspirations.
The Democratic Freedom Party (DFP) Jammu leader, Maulana Abdul Qayoom presided over the seminar. Earlier, the veteran Kashmiri Hurriyet leader, Syed Ali Gilani had to chair the seminar but the occupation authorities arrested him and detained at Humhama police station.

The speakers included Hurriyet leaders, Muhammad Yousuf Naqash, Javed Ahmad Mir, Shabbir Ahmad Dar, Muhammad Altaf Nadvi and Tahir Ahmad Mir.
