Srinagar, Jan 17 (KNS): The joint resistance leaders Syed Ali Geelani, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and Muhammad Yasin Malik said that Mehbooba Mufti's statement that lakhs of Indian forces stationed in J&K will continue to enjoy immunity from any accountability for their actions of killing blinding maiming, torturing, injuring or harassing people of Kashmir till “peace” is achieved is lamentable to say the least. They said that it is the same lady who once would stage protests and sit ins with banners in her hand, vehemently opposing AFSPA and demanding its immediate revocation.
In a statement issued to KNS, Joint leadership said that It is a fact that "peace" that is dependent on the barrel of the forces gun and not on people's faith in the system is not peace but enforced calm of subjugation which completely depends on instilling fear and terror by the occupier among the occupied and that is what is being practiced in Kashmir .
So basically what is being conveyed to people of Kashmir is that AFSPA and such draconian laws will stay till Kashmiris keep demanding justice and political resolution of their disputed status and that and they will keep getting killed and neutralized so that "peace and normalcy "is restored and Ms Mufti and her Masters in New Delhi can control and rule over the occupied territory of Kashmir even if the entire population of the land has to be wiped out for that and turned into a graveyard.
Paying glowing tributes to the 1990 martyrs of the GawKadal, Handwara and Kupwara massacres on their martyrdom anniversaries, the joint resistance leadership said the selfless sacrifices of these martyrs would not be allowed to go waste as the deep wounds and scars of Kashmiris would not be healed by the fake slogans of ‘healing touch’.Click Here To Follow Our WhatsApp Channel
The statement said India just witnessed one Jallianwala Bagh massacre but the General Dwyer of that time of Government of India, Governor Jagmohan carried many Jallianwala Bagh like massacres in every nook and corner of Kashmir and Gaw Kadal, Handwara and Kupwara massacres were just a few of those numerous massacres at a time when Mufi Mohammad Syed was the Home minister of India.
The joint statement said observing the martyrdom anniversaries of these people every year not only reminds people of the atrocities carried by the Indian forces but also gives people the strength and makes them more determined to carry forward the resistance movement to its logical conclusion and make the mission of these martyrs a national mission and mission for every Muslim.
The statement said in connection with the anniversaries of the martyrs, programmes would be held on January 21 at Gaw Kadal, January 25 at Handwara, and January 27 at Kupwara in which glowing tributes would be paid to these martyrs and all the martyrs of Kashmir and people would once again resolve not to rest till the mission of these martyrs reaches its ultimate conclusion.
The joint statement said on January 21, Gaw Kadal and its adjacent areas would observe a complete shutdown, while on January 25, Handwara and on January 27 Kupwara would witness a complete shutdown. (KNS)
