APHC leader and Jammu Kashmir people’s league chairman, Mukhtar Ahmad Waza today hailed the efforts of Kashmiri youth who put their lives in risk and rescued floods victims.

During its visit to flood affected areas of Islamabad district including Dehruna watpora, Waza met flood victims residing in temporary relief camps and expressed sympathy and solidarity with them. We thanked all those social and religious organizations who are providing relief to the flood victims in affected areas of Kashmir and appealed general public to remain committed for rehabilitating the victims before onset of winter.

Mukhtar Ahmad Waza stated that all government machinery failed and it was youth of Kashmir who provided succor to the flood victims and proved that they have enough guts to take care of the fellow Kashmiris during testing times.

He said that neither New Delhi nor the state puppet government provided any kind of relief to the affected families. He said that instead of helping to the flood victims of Kashmir, New Delhi government is trying to block the aid coming from OIC and international community. Waza said that Kashmiri people will resist the move of Indian government if they blocked the aid of international community particularly of OIC.

He assured flood victims possible help and said that Hurriyat Conference is in contact with the international community and so far as various nations including OIC has assured immediate help to flood victims.
