Srinagar, May 23 (KNS): Hurriyat Conference (M) Chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq said the decision to commend and honor the Indian army officer for forcibly Tying a Kashmir civilian to his jeep, to use him as a human shield and parading him through villages for hours, with no regard for him as a human being, shows that Indian Government as well as its institutions that operate here, have internalized the occupational mindset toward the people of Kashmir, who they see and treat as their serfs and hence have no compunctions in endorsing rather commending and justifying such abhor-able inhuman behavior.
In a statement issued to KNS, Mirwaiz said that today such fascist mindset is increasingly on display in India especially in dealing with the people of Kashmir and minorities in the name of nationalism. And the jingoistic Indian media is fanning its flames.
He said when arrogance of power and might corrupts the distinction between right and wrong, human and in human, is lost and all becomes "fair in war” especially in a grossly unequal war between combatants and unarmed civilians who are at their mercy.Click Here To Follow Our WhatsApp Channel
Mirwaiz said such decisions also expose the much flaunted democratic credentials of Indian state globally. And reassure us about the justness and fairness of our struggle against an oppressor by standing up to his oppression and indignity for asserting our basic right to realize our will and aspirations as granted to humans being world over.
Meanwhile Mirwaiz has condoled the demise of pro-freedom leader in Muzzaffarabad Dr Abdul Aala stating that his contribution towards freedom struggle was laudable, he expressed solidarity with the family members of deceased leader and prayed for his place in heaven.
Meanwhile spokesman strongly condemned the use of brute force on students in Pulwama that were followed by the detention of dozens of students. He said authorities were deliberately creating a situation where in students including female ones can be made soft targets. The police is using brute force on the innocent students and blaming them for turning the situation volatile while as the fact is it is the State authorities who have waged war against young generation of Kashmir.
