“PP cadre along with activists are urged to contact at mass level about the programme formulated by APHC in context with swindle elections of 7th and 13th May2009 ,party condemns the illegal detention of Pro-freedom Leaders and coercing youth in the garb of parliamentary elections,” Geelani said, in spite of worst health condition of Dr. Ghulam Mohammad Hubbi , police has detained him in police station Chrar-e-Shareef .
Syed Saleem Geelani maintained that puppet regime of Kashmir is scared about the pacifist political activities of Pro-freedom leaders ,thus has caged Chairman APHC Mirwaiz Molvi Mohammad Umer Farooq , besides other Hurriyat leaders -New Delhi seems to be hell-bent to continue the illegitimate detention of Senior Hurriyat Leader Shabir Ahmad Shah and in sheer frustration Indian paramilitary forces on Monday tortured and arrested some youth, who were hoisting black flags for which Mirwaiz Molvi Mohammad Umer Farooq has given the call as a mark of peaceful protest against the interference into religious affairs of Kashmiri Muslims.
Meanwhile APHC Press Secretary Ghulam Hassan Majrooh has strongly denounced the excesses rendered on Senior Hurriyat Leaders, Musdiq Adil and Abdul Majid Wani for winching black flags on their vehicles.
“People are urged to stay away from deceptive parliamentary elections in Kashmir to respect the sacrifices of Martyrs ; our sacred assets,” Press Secretary said.

  1. i am very glad to see a blog started by APHC. although comments are yet to follow, but hope it will grow with time.it is the time of internet so as to keep discussions on and even with outer globe, blogging is a efficient step. my best wishes r with u.
    i ahve read ur blog and i found it good enough.
    i myself believe that even a singe kashmiri should not participate in elections. but i fail to understand how my kashmiri brothers n sisters go for voting. dont they understand a simple problem. it is just an indian drama.
    i was totally shocked to find kashmiris voting even after amarnath land row issue. i pray to god to help kashmiris to understand this simple problem.
    lastly, may god help u in your mission.
