BADIN, Aug 29: A large number of activists of Jamaatul Dawat wal Irshad took out a rally here on Friday to express the solidarity with Kashmiri people and in support of their struggle for independence.

Qari Mehmood said that the people of Kashmir enjoy the right to independence from Indian occupation. He said the Indian press was exploiting the issue and its media highlighting false and fabricated stories of protests in Kashmir being staged by Lashkar-i-Taiba and other Islamic organisation.

He said at least 8,000 Indian troops were engaged in a siege and search operation in occupied Kashmir where loot, rape and arson were common.

He demanded of the Pakistan government to adopt resolutions in the National Assembly and put pressure on the UN for implementation of its resolutions on rights of Kashmiri people.

One month salary of another teacher, Sher Ali Khowaja, who was also absent was withheld.
