The third martyrdom anniversary of veteran Hurriyat leader and the icon of Kashmir resistance movement, Syed Ali Gilani will be observed tomorrow.   

Syed Ali Gilani passed away on September 1, 2021, while under house arrest at his Hyderpora residence.

The APHC has appealed to the Kashmiri Diaspora to hold peaceful demonstrations worldwide to highlight Indian brutalities in the territory.

Incarcerated APHC Chairman Masarat Aalam Butt, in his message from New Delhi's Tihar Jail, said India will never succeed in extinguishing the Kashmiri people's desire for freedom.

Posters have again appeared across various areas of IIOJK, calling people to honour Syed Ali Gilani's memory and reinforcing that the sacrifices of Kashmiri martyrs will not be forgotten.

Meanwhile, senior APHC leader Mirwaiz Umar Farooq has condemned those in Kashmir who collaborate with Indian authorities for personal gain, labelling it a betrayal of their own people.

Speaking at a public gathering in Srinagar, he emphasized that Kashmiris have been enduring suffering for seventy-seven years under Indian occupation and called for unwavering resolve against oppression.

On the other hand, Indian troops continue their violent cordon and search operations and house raids in Rajouri, Poonch, Doda, Kishtwar, Ramban, Reasi and Kathua districts of Jammu region.

In the Kashmir valley, similar actions are being conducted in Kupwara, Baramulla, Bandipora, Pulwama, Shopian, Islamabad and Kulgam districts.

During these operations, troops forcibly enter residential homes, harass and arrest residents, including women and children, and vandalize household items.
