People deserve salute for unflinching commitment, resilience: Mirwaiz

Srinagar: Hurriyat Conference headed by Mirwaiz Umar Farooq on Wednesday said the way people especially youth are sacrificing their lives for the “just cause” deserves all applause and people in general deserve salute for their unflinching commitment and resilience.
Paying glowing tributes to two armed youth killed in an encounter with government forces at Tral Pulwama, a spokesman of the amalgam said that the youth are offering priceless sacrifices for a “greater cause.”
The spokesman said that it’s high time that the people of Kashmir stay steadfast and display unity for their legitimate birth right, the right to self determination.
“History is witness that no military might has succeeded in muzzling the genuine struggles let alone weakening the people’s aspirations and commitment towards their goal,” said the spokesman, adding, “the way people especially youth are sacrificing their lives for the just cause deserves all applause and people in general deserve salute for their unflinching commitment and resilience.”
During the past 70 years of struggle, the spokesman said, people of Kashmir braved all odds and didn’t surrender despite facing worst form of “state terrorism.”
While expressing serious concern over the prevailing situation in Kashmir especially the ongoing “bloodbath”, the spokesman said that global community should wake up and take note of the pain inflicted on innocent Kashmiris and build pressure to New Delhi to honour the aspirations of people of Kashmir.
“Because of the lingering Kashmir dispute there is an instability prevailing all over and the only way to end it is to resolve the issue of Kashmir as per the aspirations of people.”
