Srinagar: Jammu Kashmir liberation front leaders and activists continued their election boycott campaign in Srinagar today. According to a statement issued to KNS, JKLF leaders and activists visited Mehjoor Nagar, Kursu, Gadhanjipora and zero bridge etc and apprised people about the importance of election boycott. The JKLF activists distributed written material about the elections and met people individually and collectively.
On the occasions JKLF leaders asked people to keep vigil and understand the ill consequences of the elections held under Indian constitution. Leaders told people that these elections are harmful for Jammu Kashmir and against their interests.
While speaking to the people JKLF leaders said that the hand that is always used for beating and hanging Kashmiris is ready to deceive us again, the inkpot and pen that writes down life imprisonments and hangings for us is asking us to forget the sacrifices and the plough that instead of cultivating our lands has always sieved our hearts and consciences is again ready to put us in trouble.
JKLF leaders said that there are some who in the name of change are asking us to change our allegiance and some other are asking us to sweep the sacrifices rendered by brooms. We will have to keep vigil on all these who are hell bent to make us fool and lead divide us to get our votes, said leaders.
JKLF leaders said that the main aim and objective of elections organized by India and held under Indian constitution is to prolong the slavery of Kashmiris, to legislate new tyrannical and oppressive laws against people of Jammu Kashmir and to subject Kashmiris to torture and repression .therefore participation in these election on any name and pretext cannot be termed but as enmity with Kashmir and Kashmiris. Leaders said that every nation safeguards its own interests and it is the duty of every Kashmiri to recognize and safeguard the interest of Kashmir.
While deliberating upon the bad consequences of these elections they said that participating in these is actually undermining the interests of our oppressed nation and every honorable Kashmiri should therefore refrain from such practice.
JKLF leaders said that elections held under Indian constitution and under the auspicious of India, though are contested under the slogans of prosperity, roads, water, electricity, good and corruption free governance and for addressing other day to day problems etc, but have always been used to malign, undermine and weaken the freedom struggle of Kashmiris.
JKLF leaders said that these elections, assemblies, and parliaments have given Kashmiris nothing but despair, distress and disaster. “These elections gave us black Laws like PSA, AFSPA, TADA, POTA etc. These produced the oppression of task force, catch and kill operation tiger, custodial killings and disappearances, unmarked graves and unnamed graveyards. These gave us the hangings of Saheed Baba I Qoum Mohammad Maqbool Butt and Shaheed Afzal Guru. Therefore it is our moral, religious and national obligation to keep, away from voting’s and elections and spread this message to everyone around.” (KNS)
