‘Pak high commissioner calls on Geelani in Delhi’
Srinagar: Taking an exception to reports about National Conference ‘relishing Wazwan’ while a youth was killed at Naidkhai, Hurriyat Conference (G) has said when the whole state was mourning the death of innocent youth and major parts of the state where placed under curfew like restrictions, “Chief Minister Omar Abdullah preferred a party meeting over visiting Naidkhai and relished Wazwan on the occasion which was fetched in police vehicles.”
According to a statement issued to KNS, a spokesman of the Hurriyat (G) has said: “It is the tradition of national Conference to celebrate the innocent killings in Kashmir and they have done it in past and they will not mind it in future also.’
“Power and chair has always been their (National Conference) concern and they have nothing to do with the miseries of common people. While strongly condemning the use of brutal force on the peaceful protest demonstrations against the innocent killing, detention of dozens of Hurriyat leaders including Mohammad Ashraf Sehraie, Mohammad Ashraf Laya, Firdous Ahmad Shah and Ashiq Hussain Sofi and imposing curfew like restrictions in major parts of the state on the 2ndconsecutive day.”
Hurriyat (G) has said that the Farhat Ahmad Dar was killed by police in a target fire and the eyewitnesses present there have recognized the police personals who have killed Farhat and who are still roaming scot-free. The Hurriyat (G) spokesman Ayaz Akbar said that every government is the custodian of life, property and honour of common people and it is their duty to help the common man when he is suffering, but Jammu and Kashmir is an exception.
“In Jammu and Kashmir where on the one hand 7.5 lakh forces have been forcibly thrusted on the common people and on the other hand the puppets of New Delhi who have been appointed here as local government, are only concerned with their power, chair, salaries and luxuries, they do not have any interest with the miseries and sufferings of the common people.”
The Hurriyat (G) spokesman said that if this state would not have been forcibly occupied with the military might and a responsible person would have been on the chair, he would have visited the Naidkhai to express solidarity with the mother of the killed student, but instead of that Omar Abdullah attended his party meeting to discuss the strategies of grabbing the parliamentary seats in the state and enjoyed the Wazwan with his party mates on state expenditure.
The Hurriyat (G) Spokesman said that the lack of accountability in the state have encouraged police personals to join the ranks of Indian forces who have never been punished for any crime. Akbar said that the so-called probes ordered by the administration are merely eyewash and this probe will also met the same fate of past hundreds of probes and investigations. While strongly condemning the imposition of curfew like restrictions and the use of brutal force over the peaceful protest demonstration, Akbar said that the state government have deliberately suspended the law and order and are using state terrorism and hooliganism as the tools to suppress the voice of subjugated people.
Meanwhile, according to Akbar the recently appointed Pakistan High Commissioner to India Abdul Basit today visited the temporary residence of Syed Ali Geelani, chairman Hurriyat (G) in Malviya Nagar to express his well wishes and prayed for his speedy recovery.
“Basit said that the prime minister of Pakistan Mian Nawaaz Shareef was very much concerned about the health of Geelani Sahab and he directed me to personally enquire the condition of pro-freedom leader and then inform me. Hurriyat spokesman said that the Pakistan High Commissioner Basit with Ubaid-ul-Rehman Nizami and other associates visited Malviya Nagar at 11:00 a.m. and spent about 1 ½ (90 minutes) hour with the ailing leader.” (KNS)
