Kashmiri Freedom Struggle Leader Sadaqat Mughal Speaks Out on Dire Conditions

Muzaffarabad: Sadaqat Mughal, the founder of a prominent pro-Kashmir freedom Political Party in Pakistan administrated Kashmir, Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front Nazrerayti (JKLFN), addressed the media in an exclusive interview with local media yesterday, shedding light on the hardships faced by Kashmiri people in their ongoing struggle for freedom.

During the interview, Mughal detailed the severe mistreatment endured by his community, stating, “We are not even allowed to drink water, rats are released on us at night, and we are being crushed under the weight of oppression.” He condemned state authorities, asserting that those who claim to be protectors are, in reality, tyrants inflicting systematic cruelty on the people.

Mughal strongly refuted allegations labeling him as a drug dealer or a murderer. “I am fighting for the freedom of Kashmir, and the sole aim of my movement is the liberation of our people and our state,” he said, emphasizing that his commitment remains unwavering despite the ongoing challenges.

The leader’s remarks come in the wake of his recent arrest by Azad Kashmir police. His detention has sparked widespread concern among Kashmiri citizens and human rights organizations, all of which have called for his immediate release. Activists argue that his arrest is yet another example of the state’s harsh measures against voices calling for genuine change in Kashmir.

This interview, now viral across social media platforms, has intensified scrutiny on the conditions under which pro-freedom activists are held and has further fueled demands for reforms and respect for human rights in the region.
