In occupied Kashmir, Jammu and Kashmir People's Movement Chairman Ghulam Ahmed Mir has called upon India to announce unconditional release of all the illegally detained Kashmiris on the eve of Eid-ul-Fitr.
In a press statement, Mir said that it would be one of most important confidence building measures on the part of Indian government to release prominent Hurriyat leaders and other political detainees languishing in different jails of occupied Kashmir and India, Kashmir Media Service reported.
He said hundreds of political prisoners had been put behind the bars on frivolous charges, adding that in spite of the promises made by India with the Hurriyat leadership to set free all the innocent prisoners, nothing had been done in this connection.
JKPM chairman reiterated that the acts of oppression adopted by the government of India to suppress the ongoing liberation struggle shall never succeed and indigenous struggle would be taken to its logical conclusion.
