Although the Modi government tried to lure people by offering different perks but the innocent Kashmiris followed the teachings of Shaheed-e-Karbala Hazrat Imam Hussain. The people in IIOJ&K are faced with difficulties but their resolve is firm. They do not want to look towards Dehli but they want freedom.
The philosophy of Imam Hussain makes people free from all fears and the Kashmiri people are struggling for their right of self determination, remarked Qureshi. In IIOJ&K, there was a ban on mourning processions, said Qureshi, adding that mourners underwent baton charge and were also arrested by the Indian Forces.
The Modi Government was violating the basic rights of the innocent Kashmiris. Makhdoom Shah Mahmood Qureshi said that the Hussainai conference should condemn the brutalities of the forces in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) through a resolution today.

He hailed Prime Minsiter Imran Khan’s smart lock down policy to overcome the coronavirus. Qureshi said that as a Muslim it’s his firm believe that Almighty Allah has blessed Pakistan and that is why majalis and mourning processions in remembrance of Hazrat Imam Hussain sacrifices in Qurbala are being conducted.
