Srinagar Apr 20 (KNS): Hurriyat Conference (G) on Friday hit out at the “ruling regime” and its forces for “their attitude towards the leadership, saying the state is virtually reeling under the martial law like situations.
“No law exists, and fundamental rights have been trampled and leadership continued to be caged,” Hurriyat (G) said in a statement issued to KNS.
Hurriyat (G) strongly condemned the government’s action of caging pro-freedom leaders and turning entire state into a military garrison stating that repeated curbs reflect the frustration of the rulers, who have accepted defeat at the hands of people’s resilience.
The spokesman said that police on Thursday night detained Mohammad Ashraf Sehrai, Aga Syed Hassan al-Mosvi, Gh Ahmad Gulzar, Mohammad Ashraf Laya, Omer Adil Dar, Syed Imtiyaz Hyder and scores of other activists and placed under house arrest.
Denouncing police ‘action’, Hurriyat (G) strongly termed it as “dictatorial” decision of authorities to keep resistance leaders under continuous house detention, saying that despite their rhetoric for freedom of expression, they have turned the state into a big jail and strangulating the genuine voices and people and resistance leaders are denied the political space.
Hurriyat while lamenting state authorities, said that they are for namesake and instead of facing resistance leaders on political turf are creating graveyard silence, saying all “repressive and suppressive measures perpetrated by authorities won’t break our resolve and despite all odds will pursue freedom mission till its logical conclusion.” (KNS)
