Sardar Umar Nazir Kashmiri, a leader of the Jammu Kashmir Joint Awami Action Committee (JKJAAC), addressed a massive public gathering at Dareek Eidgah in Rawalakot. He stated that despite all the underhanded tactics employed by the rulers, the people across the length and breadth of the state\u2014through ‘shutter-down’ strikes and protests\u2014have demonstrated that the Kashmiri nation will, under no circumstances, bow before the oppressor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He rejected the rulers’ claim that the movement has become confined solely to Rawalakot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Umar Nazir Kashmiri remarked that today, the conscious and self-respecting people throughout the state have expressed complete solidarity with their brethren in Rawalakot, staging protests in every city, neighborhood, and street.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He noted that it has never been the case that the Action Committee issued a call from Rawalakot and the people failed to take to the streets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Taking the rulers to task, he warned that in their desperate attempt to safeguard their own twelve seats, they have allowed the Kashmir issue to slip out of their hands; consequently, we are now left without any advocate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thanking all the participants in the protests, he affirmed that the movement was peaceful and united in the past, remains so today, and will continue to be in the future\u2014and ultimately, victory will belong to the peaceful and united people.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
