Srinagar, Jul 13 (KNS): Chairman of Jammu and Kashmir Liberation front (JKLF), Muhammad Yasin Malik on Wednesday said that stopping joint march of resistance camp towards Mazar I Shuhada and arresting leaders including Syed Ali Geelani and Mirwaiz Muhammad Umar Farooq have exposed the real face of so-called rulers.
In a statement issued to KNS, Malik said, “If world cannot show any sympathy towards mourning Kashmiris whose 40 people have fallen to Indian bullets, it should refrain from adding salt to our wounds.”
JKLF chief while condemning arrests, curfew, restrictions, barricades and other oppressive measures meant to stop joint resistance march towards martyrs’ graveyard said that by these measures so-called rulers have actually shown their class and real anti-democratic and anti-people face.
He said that on one hand rulers are busy killing and injuring innocent Kashmiris and on the other hand oppressive measures to suppress peoples voices are also going on unabated.
While condemning the arrest of leaders Syed Ali Geelani and Mirwaiz Muhammad Umer Farooq, jailed JKLF chairman said that these arrests cannot deter us from perusing the path of freedom and protesting the oppressive behavior of India and its Kashmiri stooges.
Condemning the criminal silence of the international community, civil society, and Indian civil society on innocent killings in Kashmir, JKLF jailed chairman said that instead of condemning the innocent killings of Kashmiris and brutal use of force by Indian forces against them, international community especially USA is either silent or issuing ridiculous statements. “If international community is not able to feel pain of Kashmiris whose 40 people have so-far fallen to the bullets of Indians and whose more than 1500 hundred are seriously injured many of which have lost their eyesight, and have no words of sympathy for us, they should not add salt to our wounds by issuing inhuman statements,” he said.Click Here To Follow Our WhatsApp Channel
While paying rich tributes to martyrs of 1931, Malik said that the flame of sacrifices lit by these martyrs is still burning and from last six days Kashmiris have sacrifices another forty of their loved ones for freedom and truth. “The struggle started in 1931 still continues and will continue till the achievement of complete freedom,” asserted Malik.
Paying homage to volunteers, common people, doctors and paramedics who have relentlessly worked for the welfare of victims of Indian violence especially for those injured, Malik said that the way Kashmiris are showing brotherhood, fellow feeling and philanthropy during these hard times is really heartening and deserves appreciation.
Meanwhile, JKLF leaders and activists observed martyrs day throughout world today. “One such program was held in Gilgit Baltistan where JKLF chief spokesman Muhammad Rafiq Dar, President Gilgit Saif ud din Bhat and general secretary Muhammad Iqbal etc paid tributes to the great martyrs,” he said.
Leaders while praying for the heavenly abode of these great martyrs prayed for the freedom of Jammu and Kashmir.
Meanwhile, despite heavy restriction and strict curfew, JKLF activists led by Zonal president Noor Muhammad Kalwal gathered at Habba Kadal and tried to march towards Mazar I Shuhada according to the joint resistance program but as all roads leading towards martyrs graveyard had been sealed by razor wire and other barricades, the participants staged a strong protest.
JKLF zonal organizer Bashir Ahmad Kashmiri along with activists Arshid Ahmad Butt and Shahid Makaya etc were also present in the protest program. (KNS)
