Syed Ali Gilani in a statement in Srinagar said, the rhetoric of India of being world’s largest democracy is a mere hoax and deceit as its highhandedness and brutality stands exposed in every nook and corner of occupied Kashmir.
The APHC Chairman said people all over the world protest against excesses and for their genuine demands which is their democratic right but Jammu and Kashmir is the only exception where peaceful protesters are showered with bullets and pellets.
