Hurriyat Conference (M) said that those forces who are trying to gag media and build pressure on them from reporting facts are trying to muzzle freedom of press.
Meanwhile, Hurriyat (M) paid rich tributes to the three local armed youth Shaheed Latief Ahmad Dar, Shaheed Molvi Tariq Ahmad and Shaheed Shariq Ahmad Nengroo martyred on Friday in a gunfight with government forces at Imam Sahib Shopian.
Hurriyat Conference (M) statement said the lingering Kashmir issue is consuming precious human lives day in and day out on local level and on Indo-Pak borders as well. It said until the Kashmir issue is not resolved the conflict will continue to quench its thirst with human blood. It said instead of military might and aggressive policy, dialogue between India, Pakistan and people of Kashmir can resolve this bloody conflict.
