Srinagar, June 14: APHC leader and Jammu and Kashmir Salvation Movement Chairman, Zaffar Akbar Bhat has said that imposing restriction and curbing peaceful political movement by New Delhi and its authorities in Kashmir was forcing the highly educated youth to use violence path for achieving their birth right.

Zaffar Abar Bhat while addressing huge gathering at Haff Shermal in Shopian, has appealed to the world community to take notice of the military might polices and massive rights abuses in Kashmir under draconian laws adding that the continued suppression and curbing of voice of Kashmiri people is denial of justice and basic democratic right.

He said that the massacre of Gowkadal,Hawal, Zkoora in Srinagar, Sopore,Kupwara, Handwara,  Bijbehara, disgracing women and custodial disappearances are now unacceptable. The last 24 years of atrocities and killings has exposed Indian authorities in the region and worldwide.

He said that GOI and anti-Kashmir people in India should end the rigidity and work on demilitarization from Kashmir, repeal black laws and create conducive atmosphere for the resolution of Kashmir through tripartite talks and UN resolutions. He said permanent peace in the region is impossible without its amicable settlement.   

 Zaffar Akbar Bhat also paid glowing tributes to martyrs including recently martyred Ashiq Hussain Gul,Sajad Mir,Ashraf Akber, Altaf Baba,Eng.Saifullah, M Abbas Nengroo and Mufti Hilal, Sheikh Shabir of Palhallan. He said that the use of brute force could not prevent the Kashmiri people from continuing their just struggle for securing their right to self-determination as they were determined to take the ongoing movement to its logical conclusion at all costs.
