The All Parties Hurriyat Conference paid rich tribute to victims of the Zakura and Tengpora massacres.

In a statement issued in Srinagar, the APHC spokesperson, Advocate Abdul Rashid Minhas termed the massacre as part of India’s systematic campaign of genocide in IIOJK, designed to terrorize the local population and suppress their quest for self-determination.

He reaffirmed unwavering resolve of the Kashmiri people to continue their struggle for freedom.
