Kashmiri organisations on Thursday took out a rally to condemn the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Indian-administered Kashmir on the eve of Diwali.
The protest rally was organised by Jammu and Kashmir Pasban-e-Hurriyat (JKPH), Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Cell (JKLC) and International Forum for Justice and Human Rights (IFJHR) and was attended by the people from all walks of life.
Addressing the protesters – chanting anti-India and anti-Modi slogans – the JKPH Chairman Uzair Ghazali said Indian premier’s visit was an attempt to hoodwink the international community. “The BJP has its own doctrine to change the Muslim majority of the occupied territory into a minority,” he said.
Media Adviser to Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) Prime Minister Shaukat Javid Mir said Modi’s frequent visits to Indian-administered Kashmir was a political stunt to gain support of the people. “However, winning over the Kashmiris is not possible as they have sacrificed everything for the noble cause of plebiscite.”

My ancestors fled from the oppressive, brutal regimes of days past, both contesting parties should first endeavour to provide human rights and security of freedoms for all Kashmiris of any religion, provide for them the means of unification. allow them freedom from both India and Pakistan.

@p r sharma: Sharma ji...sahi bole :-) I love you.
AJK is protesting the visit of Modi and people expecting another relief package for the flood victims and development of infrastructure. Modi did announce relief fund of rs. 570 crores( 5700 millions) of Indian rupee for rebuilding of houses alone. Delegation of flood affected demanded that the aid be sent direct to the bank accounts of the affected persons which is acceptable. Another INR 175 crores allowed for reconstruction of six hospitals In Kashmir. This is in addition of INR 1000 crores which is already given for flood relief to the local government.
So is AJK against the package by Modi govt. ? i am sure there will be a protest in AJK as to why their Prime Minister NS is not visiting them ( or ignoring AJK)
"MUZAFFARABAD" well i leave it at that....which part of jammu is under pakistan's control,pakistanis have no shame in spreading lies even on print media...
