Syed Ali Shah Geelani detained for defying restrictions in Kashmir

The Azadi camp also expressed gratitude to the Government and people of Pakistan for their “unflinching support” for the freedom struggle of Kashmiris.

He said that Pakistan was being deprived of water as India was building dams in Occupied Kashmir.

Bilawal said that Sharif brothers are not leaders but politicians, who he said, only protect their own interests.

He said that Muslim League is just a “failure league “in the sense of its failed economic policies”.

He accused Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif of silently supporting Indian atrocities in Occupied Kashmir.

Recounting the achievements of PPP government in Azad Jammu and Kashmir, Bilawal said that there was only one university before the party’s government in the valley and now there are 6 universities. “In resolve to this black day call, we appeal people of Kashmir and Kashmiris living overseas, to observe the 19th of July as a Black day”, the spokesman said.

In a joint statement, the Hurriyat leaders Syed Ali Geelani, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and Mohammad Yasin Malik, while condemning the emerging state of affairs in Kashmir, have called for strike in both parts of Kashmir on July 14. Bilawal said like his grandfather Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and mother Benazir, he and his party stand for the resolution of the Kashmir issue “as per the wishes and aspirations of the Kashmiri people in light of resolutions adopted at the United Nations, said the spokesman”.

As a further show of support for the people of Kashmir, Bilawal called upon his party workers to protest all over the country tomorrow.
