Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front

Srinagar, May 24 GK News: The secretary general, of Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (R), Muhammad Saleem Nanaji, was released on Sunday, after nine-month detention. He was arrested at Srinagar Airport on September 19, 2008 after he attended Iftar party at Pakistan Embassy in New Delhi. In a statement a JKLF(R) spokesman said that immediately after his release Nanaji went to Martyr’s graveyard at Eidgah here and offered Fateha Khawani. “I salute the Kashmiri nation for their valor and urge them to remain united to fight the oppression. By boycotting elections people have shown that it’s a futile exercise,” Nanaji said. 

He called upon the international community to accept the ground realities and ask India to settle the Kashmir issue once for all. “India can’t hold Kashmir by force for long.  We will continue to strive our cherished goal of freedom till we achieve it.  Arrests and killings won’t deter us,” he said.  

He asked the government to release Bitta Karate, Masrat Alam Bhat and other detainees without any delay.
