‘Shutdown, protest against Indian ‘oppressive behavior’ in Kashmir’
Srinagar: “Indian prime minister represents the state of India and he is responsible for all tyrannical acts, oppressive behaviors and curbs on the freedom of Jammu Kashmir. Given this fact Kashmiris have been always protesting on the occasion of Indian prime minister’s visit to Jammu Kashmir. Today when Indian Prime Minister Nerendra Modi is visiting Jammu Kashmir on Friday, 4th July 2014, Kashmiris will repeat their Tradition of resistance and observe a complete shut down on 4th July 2014,” this was stated by the chairman JKLF Mohammad Yasin Malik in a statement issued today.
According to a statement issued to KNS, Malik who along with dozens of JKLF leaders and activists was arrested on 23rd June 2014 and remained in central jail Srinagar, was released last night on bail. Malik said that Indian prime minister represents Indian state and hence he is responsible for all what happens in Kashmir. He is responsible for all oppressive acts, tyrannical behaviors, curbs on political and democratic freedom struggle, and for denying Kashmiris their birth right of Azadi.
Malik said that in view of this fact, people of Jammu Kashmir have always protested on the occasion of Indian prime minister’s visit to Jammu Kashmir peacefully and democratically. Malik said that now Indian Prime Minister Nerendra Modi is visiting Jammu Kashmir on 4th July 2014. He in capacity of prime minister of India represents all its inimical acts against Kashmiris.
Malik said that with this fact Mr Modi also represents RSS and BJP which from the day 1st have been advocating to repeal Muslim personal law, oppression against Kashmiris, finishing our peaceful freedom movement through military might and also repealing or finishing the Muslim character of Jammu Kashmir and special status of Jammu Kashmir visa vise political, social and environment Matters.
Malik said that from the 1st day of this government, its ministers have started their anti Kashmir rhetoric. Recently one of its cabinet minister’s Subramanian Swami while crossing all the limits of brazenness and Shamelessness claimed on TV that his party succeeded in election because it divided Indian Muslim in several sects and encouraged infighting between them and kept fueling this fire.
“This very minister has issued another statement today against Kashmir. In this atmosphere it is much more imperative for Kashmiris to protest against these anti Kashmir and anti Muslim acts and observe a complete shut down on the arrival of Mr Nerandra Modi.” Malik said that India and its Kashmiri puppets have choked all the means and ways of political and peaceful protest and observing shut downs is the only peaceful means of protest left with us. He appealed the people of Jammu Kashmir to observe a complete and Comprehensive strike (Hartal) on Friday, 4th July 2014 and mark their protest against inimical policies of India against the people of Jammu Kashmir. Malik said that people of Kashmir will stay indoors, suspend their business, transport and other activities on the day as a mark of protest.
