ISLAMABAD, Sep 23 (APP): All Parties Hurriyat Conference, in
Indian occupied Kashmir, has said that continued house arrest is
taking a heavy toll on the health of its Chairman, Syed Ali
Gilani.
According to Kashmir Media Service, Syed Ali Gilani, who
continues to be under house detention for a long time now, was
once again barred from offering the congregational Friday prayers.
The APHC spokesman in a statement issued in Srinagar
strongly condemning the puppet authorities for their dictatorial
approach said that this was an open demonstration of state
terrorism.
“Since 2010, Syed Ali Gilani is confined to four walls of
his residence as police authorities have practically turned his
residence into a sub-jail. His continued house detention is taking
a heavy toll on his health,” he said.
The spokesman ridiculed the puppet regime led by Mehbooba
Mufti for its rhetoric about `battle of ideas’. He said, “Their
all slogans and tall claims have proved to be a fraud and a hoax.”
Meanwhile, the spokesman condemned the arrest of APHC Chief
Spokesman, Ghulam Ahmed Gulzar, who was arrested from his
residence and lodged in police station Batamaloo. He also
denounced the house detention of APHC leaders, Muhammad Ashraf
Sehrai and Muhammad Ashraf Laya.
“The arrest spree and all these brutal acts are aimed to
create scare and break the resolve of leadership. But people will
never disassociate themselves from freedom movement and won’t
succumb to pressure and corrosive tactics. We will pursue our goal
despite all odds and psychological crackdown won’t deter us from
carrying on our cherished mission,” he added.
