Congratulating people of valley for complete boycott of election in south, central and north Kashmir Shah said the people of Kashmir by defeating the designs of National Conference, Congress, PDP and other pro India parties, sent a clear message to world community that Kashmiris want the end of 68-year Indian forcible occupation.

“I salute all those who laid their lives, are languishing in jails and all other freedom loving people for their courage and valor of defeating pro-India elements. The nation has waked up from the deep slumber of slavery. The boycott of parliamentary elections is a rehearsal for upcoming assembly elections and we will fulfill the dreams of martyrs and those who endured the agonies of jails,” Shah said.

Shah also expressed solidarity with those booked under black laws many of whom were sent to jails outside valley and paid glowing tributes to all martyrs and those youth who rendered their invaluable sacrifices with regards to freedom movement.

“The nation is above the greed and voracity of Indian elements. India will be forced to return the usurped right of self-determination and that day is not far,” Shah added.
