Condemn atrocities of Indian forces in Kashmir

MULTAN: Speakers in Hussainia Conference paid rich tributes to Imam Hussain and his companions for rendering matchless sacrifices for promotion of Islam. Chief Whip National Assembly and MNA Malik Aamir Dogar said: "The sacrifice of Imam Hussain reminds us to continue the struggle for a good cause."

He observed that Indian forces were committing human rights violations in occupied Kashmir. The people in the occupied valley were lacking basic daily-use-items including medicines, eatables as well as mobile phone services and other means of communication.

“We are a peaceful nation but they are also ready to sacrifice their lives if someone imposes war upon us,” Dogar said.

Federal Parliamentary Secretary on Finance Makhdoom Zain Hussain Qureshi said Kashmiris were facing brutalities and atrocities in the Indian Occupied Kashmir, adding, India had imposed curfew in the valley and deprived the people of their basic rights.

He said they would continue moral, diplomatic and political support towards the Kashmiris. He paid rich tributes to the great martyrs of Karbala and maintained that they would continue to follow the supreme lesson of Imam Hussain.
