He said that the high-handedness against the participants of Eid congregation at Central Eid Gah Srinagar and other parts of the occupied territory by Indian forces has exposed India's so-called secularism and its claim of religious freedom to all.
The president said that the people of Kashmir celebrated Eid in an atmosphere of fear and terror as their children are killed and maimed even on Eid Day. He paid tribute to the people of Kishtwar in Jammu region and said that the people of the town came out of their houses and staged a protest against the Indian oppressive measures and in favour of freedom of their motherland.
He said that Kashmiris would continue their legitimate struggle for their right to self-determination till they achieved the desired goal.
Earlier, while talking to different delegations from Union Council Pachiot, Union Council Dothan, Banjosa, Singhola, Horna Mera, and other areas of district Rawalakot, the president said that the development in education, health and infrastructure is the priority of the government.
