Srinagar, Oct 09 (PR): Terming elections as ‘a military operation’, Hurriyat Conference (G) said that to ensure the graveyard peace, tens of thousands guns have been called in to throttle and harass the already suffocated population of Jammu and Kashmir.
In a statement issued to KPS, Hurriyat (G) said that “had the rulers even an iota of self esteem or a slight trace of respect for their democracy, they would have not caged the leaders and political workers thereby exhibiting a one man show to achieve their goal of conducting elections.”
Hurriyat (G) condemned the arrest spree and placing resistance leaders under house arrest and called it as ‘an extreme vandalism and coercion, which depicts a martial law like situation’.
Hurriyat (G) said that its chairman Syed Ali Geelani, Mirwaiz Mohammad Umar Farooq & Mohammad Ashraf Sehraie remains under house arrest. While as Mohammad Yasin Malik is detained in Subjail Kothibagh, Gh. Ahmad Gulzar and Hakim Ab Rashid at Kotbalwal, Bilal Ahmad Sidiqui, Nisar Hussain Rather, Mohammad Yousuf Naqash, Mohammad Ashraf Laya, Mir Hafizullah, Raies Ahmad Mir, Ashiq Hussain Narchoor, Sartaj Ahmad and Danish Ahmad and hundreds of other activists are either lodged in jail or in police stations.
Hurriyat (G) said that “suppressing even the pro-freedom voice and curbing their peaceful activities is no bravery but shameful and cunning cowardness, which Indian rulers have exposed themselves too.”
Reiterating its appeal for boycott, Hurriyat (G) said that participation in elections amounts to treason and betrayal with martyr’s blood and disgrace for sacrifices rendered by our nation.
Hurriyat (G) affirms its stand and commitment to continue its peaceful means to achieve the goal of freedom. It said that “we believe, any election process, India tries to conduct, is nothing but an armed drill to threaten the common people thereby strengthening its illegal control in the occupied land, but we are indebted by the sacrifices of our nation never to even think of any compromise and we pledge to take this sacred movement to its logical conclusion.”
