India can’t suppress voice of Kashmiri: Shabbir Shah
Hurriyat leader Shabbir Ahmad Shah says the aim of observing the Black Day is to apprise the world community of the atrocities and repression being carried out by the Indian forces on Kashmiri people in Occupied Kashmir.
In an interview, he said Kashmir has never been part of India and India illegally occupied the area. He said the world should take notice that Kashmiris do not want to become part of India.
Shabbir Shah said India cannot suppress the voice of Kashmiri through repressive measures.
The Hurriyat leader strongly appealed the United Nations to pay attention toward the plight of Kashmiris and play its role for holding plebiscite in Kashmir at the earliest. He said human rights organizations and OIC should also play their role for the resolution of this long-standing dispute.
