ISLAMABAD – Chairman Special Committee of the Parliament on Kashmir, Maulana Fazlur Rahman, has said that the Kashmiris are a valiant and brave nation.
“The history of their freedom struggle is longer than that of India or Pakistan. Therefore, India would not be able to keep the Kashmiris slave for a longtime,” he said in a statement issued here on Thursday.
In a statement on the Kashmir Martyrs’ Day, the chairman Kashmir committee said that the Kashmiris revolted against the tyranny of the Sikh rulers and many of their leaders, including Sardar Sabaz Ali Khan and Sardar Shamas Khan were skinned alive.
The Kashmiris again revolted against the Dogra Rule and many Kashmiris were martyred on July 13, 1931, he said.
“The US and Israeli military personnel are also assisting over eight hundred thousand Indian soldiers posted in the Occupied Kashmir. Recently, Israel has inducted more armed personnel in Kashmir in the guise of tourists.
 However, whatsoever India may do, she can’t keep the Kashmir is salve for a long time and she will have to give them freedom; because history is witness to the fact that a nation, who is determined to clinch freedom, can’t be kept in bondage for an unlimited period of time,” Fazl said.
