Mujtaba Banday Freed After 21 Days – “Our Struggle for Kashmir’s Freedom Will Never Stop”

Muzaffarabad: The President of the Jammu Kashmir National Students Federation (NSF), Mujtaba Banday, has been released on bail after 21 days. The Additional District and Sessions Court confirmed his bail, following which NSF activists organized a rally, escorting him to Muzaffarabad Martyrs’ Memorial, Chakothi, and the graves of Farukh Raza Qureshi and NSF founding leader Gulnawaz Butt.

“The State and Its Resources Belong to Us” – Mujtaba Bande

Addressing the gathering after his release, Mujtaba Banday reaffirmed his unwavering stance, stating:

“This state, its people, and its resources belong to us. The people of Jammu and Kashmir have the foremost right over their land. No external force will be allowed to exploit our homeland.”

He rejected any rumors or propaganda, emphasizing:

“No matter how much false propaganda is spread, we have neither apologized nor will we ever do so. Our struggle is solely for the freedom of Jammu and Kashmir, and we stand firm on this cause.”

Overseas Kashmiris & Pro-Freedom Activists Support the Struggle

The NSF President expressed gratitude to all pro-freedom organizations, overseas Kashmiris, and human rights activists who raised their voices and protested for his release.

“This movement is not just about a few individuals; it represents the collective will of the people of Jammu and Kashmir. Our fight for the right to self-determination will continue, no matter the obstacles.” – Mujtaba Banday

When Will the International Community Take Action?

Many Kashmiri nationalist leaders urge the global community, human rights organizations, and the United Nations to take notice of the ongoing suppression of pro-freedom voices in both Indian-administered and Pakistani-administered Jammu & Kashmir.

For decades, Kashmiris have endured oppression while demanding their fundamental rights. It is time for the international community to break its silence and support the people of Kashmir in their quest for self-determination and justice.
