SRINAGAR (Agencies) - Despite imposition of curfew in entire Occupied Kashmir and use of brute force by the Indian security forces to stop movement on the roads and streets, tens of thousands of valiant Kashmiris thronged the Lal Chowk and chanted slogans in favour of freedom and against India. Lal Chowk echoed with slogans of freedom with demonstrators shouted, "We will snatch freedom." Cellphones were jammed and TV channels were barred from covering the Lal Chowk rally. In Nauhatta, protesters defied curfew and were subjected to torture by the Indian occupation forces. Lal Chowk was sealed off and thousands of CRPF men were deployed in Srinagar. According to BBC, the APHC leaders could not hold Freedom March due to strict security measures adopted by the puppet regime of Occupied Kashmir. The Indian forces subjected the protesters to brute force and resultantly, three Kashmiris were killed and several others were injured. The entire Kashmir Valley turned into fortress ahead of holding march towards Lal Chowk in Srinagar by Kashmiris to press their demand for right of self-determination. All top Kashmiri leaders including second ranking leaders were detained by the Paramilitary forces sealed all the vantage points in cities and towns of the valley. However, reports from Srinagar said protests were held in different parts of the valley despite these strict measures. Due to strict curfew and media restrictions, the newspapers could not hit the stands on Monday. Media reports quoting APHC senior leader Abdul Gani Bhat said by imposing restrictions, the Indian authorities are not prepared to listening to the views of Kashmiris. The restrictions are not the solution. People's voice should not only be heard but also acted upon, he said. He said the next course of action will be decided in due course of time. Meanwhile, M Y Tarigami, State Secretary of the CPI (M) said the centre should engage APHC in dialogue to find out solution to the crisis. He said the continuous curfew has affected the business of the people of the state. Meanwhile, a spokesman of the APHC condemned the imposition of indefinite curfew in the valley and said the voice of the people cannot be suppressed by such measures. He vowed to continue struggle for the right of self-determination. Chairman All Parties Hurriyat Conference, Mir Waiz Omer Farooq said imposition of curfew, blocking of routes towards Srinagar and arrest of huge number of APHC leaders and workers reflects the amount of desperation which the Indian government was facing due to intensity of Kashmiris' struggle for their just cause. The APHC Chairman who is under house arrest at his residence was taking to PTV in a telephonic interview from Srinagar. He condemned the Indian government's step of arresting the leaders and workers of APHC to deprive the Kashmiris of their legitimate right to protest against the inhuman attitude of state agencies.
