Azad Jammu and Kashmir Prime Minister Raja Muhammad Farooq Haider Khan says India has badly failed to suppress the will of Kashmiri people for their legitimate right to self-determination.

In a statement in Muzaffarabad today (Saturday), he said the true representatives of Kashmiri people are in jail and the Indian Prime Minister’s meetings with so-called Kashmiri leaders are meaningless.

Farooq Haider Khan said such meetings with the so-called Kashmiri leaders by Modi are aimed at hoodwinking the international community and diverting its attention from the deteriorating situation in the Indian illegally occupied Kashmir.

He said Kashmiris are determined and will continue their struggle till achievement of the goal of liberation from India.

He said Narendra Modi has turned the entire Indian illegally occupied Kashmir into a military cantonment and conceals the facts of systematic killings of Kashmiri people by the brute Indian forces.
