Addressing the press conference, AJK Prime Minister Sardar Abdul Qayyum said that India could not suppress the voice of Kashmiris with the power of bullets because Kashmiris would continue fighting for their freedom with courage, adding that fundamental right should be granted to them.

Condemning the India’s role at death of Syed Ali Gillani, he said the behaviour of Indian authorities towards family of Syed Ali Gillani on his death, cases against his family was shameful and it was violation of basic human rights and highly condemnable.
He said, “Kashmir is a jugular vein of Pakistan and we are ready to give every kind of sacrifice for its freedom. By the grace of Allah Almighty the time will surely come when Occupied Kashmir will get freedom,” he added.
