Srinagar: Chief Patron Jammu Kashmir Mahaz-e-Azadi (MeA) Muhammad Azam Inqilabi Saturday condemned Delhi’s “imperialist designs” and lauded people for observing strike on July 04 on Indian Premier’s visit.
In a statement here, Inqilabi said the strike showed people are “committed towards resistance movement.”
“In fact hartal on July 04 was in a way referendum against India’s colonial rule of Kashmir,” he added.
MeA patron termed Pakistan’s K-policy as “apologetic”.
“Their (Pakistan’s) stand is only strengthening status-quo here. Politics of onions and potatoes on Kashmir front after eight wars shows lack of determination,” he said.
He said, “India wants to browbeat Kashmiris into submission. And through chanakiyan fraud and deceit wants to divert attention from Kashmir and break will for resistance.”
“During the past 67 years India martyred six lakh Kashmiris which includes pro-freedom leaders like Maqbool Bhat, Afzal Guru, Moulvi Farooq, Ab. Gani Lone, Jaleel Andrabi, S. Hameed, Sheikh Aziz, Dr. Gh.Qadir Wani, Qazi Nisar, Ashfaq Majeed Wani, Adv. Husaam-ud-din, Shamsul Haq, Dr. Ashai, Maqbool Malik, Dr. Guroo and many others.”
In such a situation, he said, Islamic scholars and leaders should urge Muslim rulers to shun hypocrisy.
“Arab rulers should stop oil supply to India as it provides strength to its imperialist system. The policy of oil for India and Zamzam water for Kashmiris is taking toll on our struggle,” he said.
Inqilabi said Pakistan needs a rethink on its Kashmir policy. “We feel the leadership there isn’t serious about ideology of Pakistan.”
“They (Pakistani leadership) have forgotten Dhaka declaration, neutralized the revolutionary role of Azad Kashmir as base camp of our freedom struggle and remain passive spectator of Indian stratocracy in Kashmir,” he added.
He said, “Now Mirwaiz Umar Farooq Sahab is visiting one locality after another to reform society, this is a result of your (Pakistan’s) ineffective K-policy that now even our Milli-identity is under threat. So are our water resources.”
MeA patron said India has “stretched its claws on our resources and exploited them for its own benefit, leaving Kashmiris in lurch.”
He said if Pakistan doesn’t “act to end disillusionment in Kashmir then it will have serious repercussions.”
“Don’t treat Kashmiris as an expendable pawn, your politics of onions and potatoes (the Loc barter) cannot lessen the hardships of Kashmiris,” he said in the statement.
