Srinagar, Feb 27 (KNS): Thanking people for observing complete and statewide shutdown today on Saturday, Hurriyat (G) said that today’s strike was a clear message of the Kashmiri people against the unjust arrest of Kashmiri scholar Prof SAR Geelani, Kanhaiya Kumar, Umar Khalid and other JNU students and registration of sedition charges against them and if the Indian government does not listen to the public demands and doesn’t released them forthwith, the Kashmiri people will again take to roads and will continue to raise their voices against this injustice.
Hurriyat (G) spokesman said that the voices against the wrong policies and the fascism of the Indian rulers are now rising from within the country and these modest voices of today can be a devastating ‘storm in the offing’.
Hurriyat (G) spokesman Ayaz Akbar said that the illegal detention of SAR Geelani and the innocent students of JNU and registration of sedition case against them had badly exposed the democratic claims of India before the world communities and the growing intolerance in this country is apparent now. Since this country is claiming to be the largest democracy in the world but the JNU episode has proven that there is complete ban on the freedom of expression in India and the people of this nation are being denied their birth, basic and their democratic rights.
Hurriyat (G) spokesman however expressed his satisfaction that besides the minorities, the lower caste Hindus are also now raising their voices against the hooliganism of the 5% Brahmans who are holding this entire nation as hostage and who want to convert this country into a Brahman imperialist power where the non-Brahmans will have to live as second class citizens.Click Here To Follow Our WhatsApp ChannelHe said that “every action has equal and opposite reaction” and today what we saw from JNU to Hyderabad and Jadavpur Calcutta Universities is the result and reaction of the arrogance of power and the suppression of the weaker sections by this country. This reaction will get stronger day by day and the day is not too far when the people everywhere in India will revolt against this system. Spokesman said that the today’s shutdown in Kashmir was also against that section of the Indian media who always side with the oppressor instead of supporting the oppressed and who violate all the principles and values of the independent journalism. This section of the electronic media of India has become the mouthpieces of the communal and fascist forces and they only know the language of hatred and anger. Meanwhile the Hurriyat Secretary General Shabir Ahmad Shah, APHC Provincial President Nayeem Ahmad Khan, Hurriyat spokesman Ayaz Akbar, Personal Secretary to Chairman Peer Saifullah, Mohammad Ashraf Laya, Mohammad Yaseen Attaai, Zameer Ahmad, Hafiz Mudasir Nadvi and other dozens of Hurriyat leaders and activists continued to remain either under house detention or in police stations on the third consecutive day today. Hurriyat spokesman condemned the government action in strong words and said the Jammu & Kashmir has been practically converted into a police state and the state constitution and law has been deliberately put on suspension here.
