Mehmood Ahmad Saghar elected as new APHC AJK convener

Today, 15th June, 2022, after the unity, the full election of All Parties Hurriyet Conference was held in which all the units jointly participated and Mahmood Ahmed Sagar was elected as Convener, Sheikh Abdul Mateen as General Secretary and Imtiaz Wani as Information Secretary.
The following statement was issued to the newspapers.
All Party Hurriyet Conference Azad Jammu and Kashmir 2022 election has a unique status in many respects. This election is taking place for the first time after the alliance of Hurriyet Conference groups. After the Hurriyet Conference came into being in 1993, unfortunately this coalition forum split in two in 2005, which not only left the people frustrated and disillusioned, but also occupied Jammu and Kashmir illegally and forcibly since 1947. Indian rulers benefited globally and domestically. Despite this, although the sacrifices made by the Kashmiri people did not diminish and the two divided groups remained engaged in the struggle for independence, their voices and the ultimate interpretation of the struggle continued to be drawn.
However, the non-partisan sympathizers of the independence movement remained in touch with the two groups and engaged in reunification efforts, which yielded some positive results. And decided on joint action. And these leaders have been negotiating with each other from time to time.
This had a significant effect on the public sphere and the Hurriyet activists at the grassroots level also came closer to each other in Hurriyet activities.
All the resistance movements against the occupying power that arose in 2008, 2009 and 2010 taught that the scattered members of the Hurriyet Conference should be united in a single line. Nevertheless, the pace of revival of the alliance remained slow.
At the same time, the blood of the martyrs was added to noble cause. Hurriyat leaders, including the blood of Shaheed Sheikh Abdul Aziz 2008 and Burhan Muzaffar Wani Shaheed 2016, and Muhammad Ashraf Sahrai Shaheed 2021. The mission of Hurriyet Conference involves the blood of thousands of martyrs. Today we are gathering here and saluting the souls of all the martyrs. This unity is a manifestation of that. So the lamp that has to be lit to burn so many lamps, can such a lamp be allowed to go out. Never.
Today, after a long wait and costly sacrifices, this morning the unity came, which the selected team of the All Parties Hurriyet Conference pledged to work diligently to keep. In order to achieve the goal of independence of Kashmiris in the light of the right to self-determination and the clouds of tyranny that have been hovering over Jammu and Kashmir for a long time and are wiping out the second and third generation one after the other, will end. May Allah’s help and your prayers be with us. Amen
