Unite for the common cause: Sallahudin tells separatists

Said separate homeland to Pandits will be opposed

Srinagar: Asking the separatist leadership here to show coordination while countering the ‘anti-movement’ strategies, UJC Supremo and Hizb chief Syed Sallahudin Wednesday supported the strike all issued earlier by the freedom camp against Narendra Modi’s Kashmir visit.

In a statement issued to KNS by UJC spokesman Syed Sadaqat Hussain, Sallahudin has asked the pro-freedom camp here to unanimously counter what he termed ‘nefarious’ designs of the ‘oppressor’. He stated that the leadership in Kashmir must unite for the common cause so that any attempt aimed at damaging the ongoing resistance movement could be countered.

Sallaudin has also slammed the move wherein separate homeland is being given to the pundits in Kashmir valley. The UJC chief has stated that the pundits are welcome in Kashmir and that they must live at their ancestral pleas as they used to since centuries. “Separate homeland will widen the gaps and in no way could be termed a step for promoting harmony between the two communities in valley.”

“It was the governor Jagmohan who through the well planned strategy planned exodus of pundits and now their return is also a deep rooted conspiracy to make the Muslim majority insecure here,” statement quoting Sallahudin stated.

He stated that it is among the priorities of the Modi government to issue permanent resident certificates to the 1947 refugees and to erode the Muslim majority status of Jammu and Kashmir. Sallahudin maintained that such tactics must be opposed in a unanimous approach so that no one is allowed to fiddle with JK’s identity and to give the same a communal color. “We will not allow settlement of 1947 refugees and also the settlement of pundits on Israeli style shall be opposed.”
