Srinagar, Aug 10: Appealing people to strongly “uphold their great cultural principals and values”, senior pro-freedom leader and National Front Chairman Nayeem Ahmad Khan Friday said that “India is using cultural aggression as a weapon against the ongoing freedom movement in Kashmir.”
 “Why should we adopt a culture which is unknown to us when we have our own ways to live which are heavenly,” Khan said, addressing people at Batamaloo here.
 He said that Kashmiris are fighting for freedom on so many fronts because “India has opened a number of fronts against the people of Kashmir including the cultural front.”
 He urged people that “we must show steadfastness in nourishing our heavenly culture so that the designs of New Delhi are defeated and the chains of slavery are broken.”
 Khan remembered Kashmir martyrs, saying that the ongoing freedom struggle has become so precious and costly only because of the sacrifices rendered by people. He said: “Batamaloo area has been on the forefront of freedom struggle and it has produced the freedom fighters like Mushtaq-ul-Islam who’s is strong even after spending decades in jails.”
 Khan condemned the latest PSA slapped on Mushtaq-ul-Islam and said his only “crime is that he rightly challenges the Indian rule over Jammu and Kashmir.”
 Nayeem Khan also remembered the Martyrs of 2010 especially who belonged to Batamaloo area including innocent children and young girls. Khan also remembered Shaheed-e-Azeemat Sheikh Abdul Aziz on his 4th anniversary. He said: “Shaheed-e-Azeemat Sheikh Abdul Aziz has proved that not only common Kashmiris but leaders are also ready for any kind of sacrifice for the cause of freedom.”
