Srinagar, April 21 : The Jammu and Kashmir Peoples League, a constituent of All Parties Hurriyat
Conference summons an important meeting at its party headquarters
Rajbagh Srinagar in which Peoples League pays glowing tributes to
Shaheed-e-Inkilaab (Martyr of Revolution) S. Hamid Wani: attended by
Senior Peoples League Leaders, which include, Mohammad Ashraf Sofi,
Mohammad Maqbool Sofi, Ghulam Qadir Rah, Imtiyaz Reshi, Gh. Nabi Waseem,
Nazir Ahmad Khan, Gh Ahmad Mir and dozens of PL Activists. In the
meeting rich tributes were paid to the martyr who is ascribed to be
amongst the frontline Pro-freedom leaders of 70’s and was one of the
founders of All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC) - which represents
the aspiration of Kashmiris politically, diplomatically and socially.
While speaking in the colloquium Senior Hurriyat Leader and Acting Chairman Jammu Kashmir Peoples League, Mukhtar Ahmad Waza said that the sacrifices of Kashmiri martyrs had centre-staged the Kashmir dispute at the international level. He reiterated the pledge to continue the liberation struggle, despite all odds.
Mr. Waza urges India to show seriousness in resolving the Kashmir dispute issue and added that Kashmir dispute was not a border dispute between India and Pakistan but a question of the future of Kashmiri people. He reiterated that without the inclusion of Kashmiris’ genuine leadership, the dialogue process between Pakistan and India would remain meaningless, as the people of Kashmir were the main party in the dispute. Waza said that the easiest solution available to resolve the 63-year-old dispute was implementation of the resolutions passed by the United Nations. “As long as the Kashmir dispute is not resolved, neither would political uncertainty end in the South Asia nor can the people of the region realize the dream of prosperity and development,” he maintained.
It is worth to mention that S Hamid Wani was arrested by the Indian police and killed in custody on April 18, 1998 in Soura Srinagar; Peoples League said that the sacrifices of Kashmiri martyrs would not be allowed to go waste and their mission would be taken to its logical conclusion.
