Srinagar: The UJC chief and Hizbul Mujahideen supremo Syed Salahudin Friday hailed the people of south Kashmir for observing boycott of Lok Sabah elections, stating that this time again the people of Kashmir have proved the dissent at large.
According to a statement issued by Syed Sadat Hussian, Hizbul Mujahideen spokesman to KNS, the UJC chief has stated that the people of Kashmir have given a clear message to New Delhi that they reject the polls under the Indian constitution. “Despite the crackdown upon the leaders and terror unleashed on common people, the resistance shown by the people is sumptuous.”
He stated further that the people of Kashmir will prefer to sacrifice their lives instead of laying down their heads before the ‘oppressor’. “From the armed resistance camp of Kashmir, we want to congratulate and salute the people for observing complete poll boycott.”
He has also warned that with the passage of time, the militant outfits will intensify their strikes against security forces. “Those who have betrayed the movement will have to answer here in this world and on the day of judgment. They will have to repent.” The UJC chief has said that like Anantnag, he expects people will observe complete boycott in rest of the phases of elections in Kashmir. “That day is bound to come when Kashmiri will succeed in their freedom struggle,” Sallahudin said while strongly condemning the force used against journalists in Kashmir. “No doubt a section of Media is toeing Indian line but a major portion is reflecting the true sentiments of Kashmiri people.” (KNS)
