“Kashmiris will spill their blood to safeguard their unique identity and character. The issue is directly related to our right of self-determination and we all need to fight for it with unity and steadfastness,” said the chairman of Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) Muhammad Yasin Malik on Tuesday.Terming the state subject law and guarding it as matter of life and death for the people of Jammu Kashmir, JKLF chairman in a statement issued to GNS said that the intended onslaught on hereditary state subject law will face a stiff resistance from every citizen of Jammu Kashmir and Kashmiris will not even shy away from spilling their blood to safeguard their unique identity and character.“On August 6, Indian Supreme Court is scheduled to hear the petition on 35-A filed by RSS-backed NGO. Indian rulers from day one have been busy in hatching conspiracies to change the demography of Jammu Kashmir and this plea in Indian Supreme Court is also the part of the same conspiracy,” Malik said.He added, “Inspired by Israeli tactics, RSS-backed rulers with the active support of their Kashmiri stooges have launched a multi-pronged strategy to change demography in Jammu Kashmir. India deems Jammu Kashmir as its colony and attempts to suppress the resistance of the people of Jammu Kashmir and removing 35-A is also part of these efforts.”
Malik said from last many years, we have witnessed numerous controversial proposals and ideas being floated by Indian rulers who only want to inflict more and more harm to people of Jammu Kashmir.“This new controversy on 35-A is also aimed at hurting our dignity; inflict more miseries on us and change the demography of our land, so that our resistance against illegal occupation is defeated completely,” he said.“As a living nation, Kashmiris fully know to safeguard their dignity and resistance and whatever be the cost, we will resist every evil design of India which is detrimental to our sacred cause,” he said.JKLF chairman asked Kashmiri Diaspora to enhance their efforts to protest against moves aimed at changing the demography of Jammu Kashmir and highlight the “conspiratorial” moves by Indian rulers against the people of Jammu and Kashmir.He said that JKLF leaders and activists along with others living in UK, United States of America, Europe, UAE, Middle East, Pakistan and PaK will also stage peaceful demonstrations against these “ill-moves and motives” and raise their united voice in defence of our national life, dignity and character.He also condemned the fresh NIA raid on incarcerated woman leader Syeda Asiya Andrabi who along with Fahmeeda Sofi and Nahida Nasreen is lodged at Mandawali Jail Delhi.“These oppressive measures cannot deter Kashmiris from pursuing the path of resistance against illegal occupation. As in past, these oppressive tactics will taste defeat,” Malik said. (GNS)
