In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, illegally detained Vice Chairman of All Parties Hurriyat Conference, Shabbir Ahmad Shah, has praised the freedom-loving people of the territory for giving a tough political fight to India on internal and external fronts.

In a message from New Delhi’s infamous Tihar jail, Shabbir Ahmad Shah said the people of IIOJK have displayed their political maturity, sagacity and pragmatism beyond excellence by observing civil curfew and complete shutdown on the martyrdom anniversaries of prominent martyred liberation leaders, Muhammad Maqbool Butt and Muhammad Afzal Guru.
