Srinagar, Sep 25 (PR): Paying tributes to the slain Tangdar and Sopore militants, Hurriyat Conference (G) chairman, Syed Ali Geelani reiterated that the youth of Kashmir have opted gun as ‘a reaction to the Indian military and forcible occupation of Kashmir’.
Terming Kashmir as a basic issue of contention between the two nuclear powers of the sub-continent, Geelani in a statement issued to KPS regretted the stubborn postures of India to deal this political issue with its military might.
With the resolution of Kashmir issue, predicting a new era of peace and development not only in Jammu and Kashmir but in whole South Asia as well,” Geelani asserted on India to “read the writing on the wall visa-vis the horrendous situation prevailing in Jammu and Kashmir where the forces seem to have outnumbered the local population during any cordon and search operations, still the people display their sentiments for right to self-determination.”
Meanwhile, expressing his grave and serious concern on the use of chemical weapon by the forces during the cordon and search operation carried out against the suspected presence of militants in Kashmir, Geelani said that “on the pretext of cordon and search operations the use of ‘brute force’ against the general public of the concerned locality cannot be justified in anyway.”
Condemning the ‘highhandedness and worst kind of state-terrorism’ of forces, Geelani blamed India for its military operations as a replica of Israiel’s state terrorism.
Terming the use of chemical weapons as ‘a felony against humanity’, the Hurriyat leader demanded a high level probe by the International war crime tribunal under the guidance of UN.
Taking a strong note of the use of chemical weapons at Bandipora, Geelani castigated the authorities for violating the settled norms of safeguarding the life of innocent and unarmed people living under the shadow of war.
Hurriyat (G) chairman while making a fervent appeal of complete election boycott, termed it ‘a most powerful political, peaceful and a democratic method to defeat all the repressive and oppressive measures’ adopted by India,
Pinning hope on the freedom loving people to rise to the occasion on the most critical juncture of history to foil ‘Indian ill designs’ for the sake of exemplary sacrifices given by the subjugated nation, Geelani said.
Condemning the fresh arrest spree against the senior Hurriyat leaders and activists, including Nisar Hussain Rather of Tehreek-e-Wahdat-e-Islami, Mohammad Yaseen Aataie of JK People’s League (S) and Syed Imtiyaz Haider of Tehreek-e-Hurriyat, the Hurriyat chairman termed it as conceding defeat by the Indian authorities before the commencement of so-called elections.
The Hurriyat chairman while declaring election boycott as ‘a democratic and political right’ of the people, castigated the “oppressive and suppressive measures of intimidation and incarceration of the resistance leaders during the nocturnal raids conducted by the ruthless police forces.”
The Hurriyat chairman while hailing the resolve of resistance leaders and activists lodged in different jails, said “although the forces detain the freedom loving cadres of the resistance movement with the intention to break up their resolve and urge for their sacred cause but serving as a blessing in disguise, our incarcerated cadre learn a lot from the miserable jail life and dedicate their services with more zeal and zest for the legitimate movement for right to self-determination, whenever they come out from the four walls of Indian prisons.”
