‘Shun creation of separate cities within Kashmir on Israeli pattern’
Srinagar: While calling for complete and state wide shutdown on 4th July 2014 Fridayagainst the planned visit of Indian Prime Minister Mr. Narinder Modi to Kashmir, chairman All Parties Hurriyat Conference Sayeed Ali Geelani said that we do not have any personal enmity against him but he is visiting here as the Prime Minister of such a country which have forcibly enslaved us and whose army are mercilessly killing the innocent people of Kashmir in day in and day out.
According to a statement issued to KNS, while advising Narinder Modi to shun the policies of creating three separate cities within the Valley for Kashmiri Pandits on Israeli Pattern, issuing state subjects to the west Pakistani refugees and abrogation of article 370, Geelani sahib cautioned that it is a dangerous game plan which can have further destructive consequences over the peace and harmony of the state and it will drastically increase the political uncertain and instable situation of the Kashmir. While demanding the return of all the Power Projects of the state, the pro-freedom leader said that India not only snatch electricity from us but it also forcibly loots our other natural resources and Omer Abdullah, Mufti Sayeed and other pro-Indian politicians are not only maintaining silence over it but they are also acting as the helping hand in this loot and plunder.
The pro-freedom leader of Kashmir said that Mr. Narinder Modi should be aware of that neither are we against the Indian integrity and nor are we in favour of separating any legal state from it. Kashmir is a different issue and India is occupying it only with the help of its military might. People of this region are struggling against this forced occupation from last 6 decades and to silence the oppressed voice of Kashmiri people, India have deployed its 7.5 lakh army and one lakh paramilitary forces in this troubled state, who are unlashing every kind of atrocities over the innocent Kashmiris. While addressing Narinder Modi, Geelani sahib said that the demand of Kashmiri people is clear and straight and we want that India should respect her promises which she has made with us on national as well as international levels and it is his moral and constitutional responsibility to full fill those promises.
Hurriyat chairman said that to the contrary the Prime Ministerial candidate of BJP has started acting on the same policy which is actually the fundamental policy of RSS on Kashmir and according to which with the continuous genocides of Kashmiri people they want to change the population figures of the state by settling non state subjects here on different names.
He said that we not only welcome the return of Kashmiri Pandits but we also want to assure them that they don’t have any kind of threat on the part of their Muslim brothers and they will find us kind and sympathetic like in the past. In a statement issued to the press, Geelani said that the idea of creating three separate cities for Pandits is actually the brain child of Israeli government and it is such a dangerous game plan which can further alienate the troubled situation of the disputed region.
“It will be the ‘do or die’ situation for the Kashmiris and they will be left as strangers in their own homeland. While terming the silence of the pro-Indian politicians like Omer Abdullah, Mufti Sayeed and Saifuddin Soz over the creation of three separate cities for the Pandits in Kashmir Valley as meaningful silence, the pro-freedom leader said that it proves that they only want to protect their Employment and they don’t want to do any such activity which will anger their masters in New Delhi.
He said that the pro-Indian politicians want to obey every order of the authorities in New Delhi whether it is the issue of plundering of natural resources of Kashmir, issue of grabbing power projects or the issue of demographic changes, so that their increments and salaries may get enhancement. While appealing for the complete shutdown on 4th July Friday against the scheduled visit of Indian Prime Minister Narinder Modi to the Kashmir, the pro-freedom leader of Kashmir said that we have left with no other option to register our protest other than strikes because whenever we held any peaceful protest demonstration, we are showered with bullets and tear gas shells and by this shutdown we want to send a message to the Narinder Modi that Kashmiris will react the dangerous designs of India and we will oppose every such move which will harm our sacred struggle for which we have sacrificed half a million precious lives so far.
