Lakhs of people have till date offered the supreme sacrifices of their life for the cause of freedom of their homeland and they will continue to offer these till they achieve the complete goal of freedom.

Expressing anger and anguish over the killing of innocent youth in different areas of Valley by the armed forces, Bhat said such barbarous acts and repressive tactics by the forces could not break the resolve and determination of people to continue their struggle for independent Kashmir.
