Srinagar: Hurriyat Conference Jammu Kashmir (HCJK) today said that despite the continuous detention of its leaders, the election boycott call issued by the amalgam was responded with full fervor by the people of south and central Kashmir. The chief spokesperson of the amalgam expressed its full hope that the people of north Kashmir will also not fall to the machinations of pro-India parties and will follow the Hurriyat’s election boycott call.
According to a statement issued to KNS, the HCJK spokesperson while expressing serious grief over the killing of innocent youngsters who are protesting against the state terrorism said that the occupational forces by continuing such killings vindicated the statement of amalgam’s senior leader Shabir Ahmad Shah that till the last force personnel remains here, the honor, dignity, lives and property of the people of Kashmir are at stake. “They (forces) have made it routine to murder our youth in the name of law and order here,” he said.
The spokesperson said there is anarchy prevailing in the state of Jammu and Kashmir. “The pro-India politicians are in race of getting into the Parliament, while as the people of Kashmir continue to get killed and they don’t even shy from talking about the compensation for the martyred youth and the affected families,” he said, adding, “the lust for power have made them devoid of brains.”
He further said: “Such people do not hesitate in using force on the people who demand their birth right of self-determination but are always hell bent upon criticizing those who have spent their lives in jails for the just cause of freedom and by their struggle highlighted the Kashmir issue at international level.” The spokesperson said that during the last few days, Hurriyat activists Jahangir Ahmad, Muhammad Yusuf Mir, Bilal Ahmad Shah, Muhammad Ibrahim, Waheed Ahmad, Shahjahan, Muhammad Rafiq Dar, Tariq Ahmad, Riyaz Ahmad Wani, Muzaffar Ahmad, Javid Ahmad Pir, Shiraz Ahmad, Sabit Ahmad, Sajad Ahmad and Javid Ahmad Saaznawaz have fallen victim to police oppression and are detained in various police stations.
He said there is a dire need felt to seriously reflect upon the views of Shabir Ahmad Shah that if Kashmir issue is not resolved as per UN resolutions or through tripartite talks, there is a clear possibility of nuclear war in the South Asia which will affect all the countries of the region. “India should shun its stubbornness and fulfill the promises it had kept with the people of Kashmir and, as such, contribute to the everlasting peace in the region,” the spokesperson added.
