In Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir, several people were injured due to use of brute force by Indian police against peaceful protesters in Srinagar today (Friday).

The youth staged forceful pro-freedom and anti-India demonstrations outside historic Jamia Masjid in Srinagar after Friday prayers.

The protesters raised high-pitched slogans "we want freedom", "Jeevey Jeevey Pakistan" and "Pakistan Zindabad".

They were also holding the pictures of Hurriyat forum Chairman, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, who has been placed under house arrest once again.

The Hurriyat forum in a statement in Srinagar strongly condemned the Indian government's authoritarian action of placing of Mirwaiz under house arrest again.

Meanwhile, senior Hurriyat leader, Professor Abdul Ghani Butt, addressing a meeting in Badgam today, stressed on the need to start a sustained dialogue process and resolve all disputes particularly the Kashmir issue.

He hailed Pakistan for its support to the people of Kashmir and particularly praised the Prime Minister, Imran Khan for raising the Kashmir dispute across the world.
