SRINAGAR: Hurriyat leaders have appealed to the civil society of Indian occupied Kashmir (IoK) including lawyers, journalists, traders, transporters to come out on streets and raise their voice for their right to self-determination on Friday.
According to the Kashmir Media Service (KMS), the joint leadership in a statement issued in Srinagar, have urged the people to protest against the Indian nefarious design of scrapping Kashmir’s special status.
Hurriyat forums reiterated that Kashmiris will not allow Hindu fundamentalists to enter their motherland. They have also appealed to the people to defy curfew and restrictions.

They also urged the international community to intervene without any further delay and come to the rescue of Kashmiris.
