ISLAMABAD: Hurriyat leaders and organizations in Occupied Kashmir have paid glowing tributes to the three freedom-fighters martyred by Indian troops during an attack on Central Reserve Police Force training center at Lethpora in Pulwama district.
According to kashmir Media Service, the Chairman of All Parties Hurriyat Conference, Syed Ali Gilani while paying homage to the martyred youth said, “The youth are sacrificing their precious lives for a greater cause and we are duty-bound to carry their mission to its logical end.”
He said India’s haughty and stubborn approach is the root cause of continuous bloodshed in Jammu and Kashmir and added that the frequent killing of Kashmiri youth was a matter of serious concern.
He urged the Kashmiri people to safeguard these sacrifices and boycott the upcoming so-called panchayat elections.

The Hurriyat forum led by Mirwaiz Umar Farooq in a statement said that it was because of continued oppression and iron-fist policy of India that the young boys were forced to pick up arms as a means of resistance.
It said peace will not prevail in Kashmir until India takes serious steps to resolve the Kashmir dispute as per the aspirations of the Kashmiri people.
The Dukhtaran-e-Millat General Secretary, Nahida Nasreen, in her statement said, “These youth effectively showed the Indian authorities that this movement can never be suppressed nor will India be able to end the armed struggle by launching the so-called operations like Operation All-out.”
