Kashmir A Police State: Ali Gilani, Pakistan Times, 15 January 2010
EXCERPT: "Terming the right of self-determination as the only acceptable solution to the Kashmir dispute, the senior Kashmiri Hurriyet leader Syed Ali Gilani has said that Jammu and Kashmir had been practically turned into a police state where judicial orders were flouted with impunity, reports KMS. Talking to media men from New Delhi, Gilani said that Jammu and Kashmir is a disputed territory occupied by India illegally through military might. India had taken the Kashmir issue to the United Nations on its own and the Security Council had declared a plebiscite as the solution to the dispute. Far from implementing the UN resolutions on the Kashmir issue, India is using every available tactic to crush the genuine struggle of the Kashmiri people, he said. Gilani flayed the continued gross human rights violations by Indian troops and killing of the innocent civilians, as inhuman, saying that India was tearing human rights to shreds by the mass killing of Kashmiri youth."
