ISLAMABAD, (MILLAT+APP): On the call of the joint resistance
leadership, a large number of Hurriyet leaders and activists took
out a procession from historic Jamia Masjid towards Nowhatta Chowk
in Srinagar, occupied Kashmir against illegal detention of
political leaders under draconian law, Public Safety Act, and
issuance of domicile certificates to non-Kashmiris.
According to Kashmir Media service (KMS), march was taken out to
express solidarity with thousands of people, who were arrested after the start of uprising in the Valley and were lodged at Kot Bhalwal, Kathua,
Hira Nagar, Udhampur and other jails.
Carrying placards and banners and chanting pro-freedom and
anti-India slogans, the protestors said that the jails had been
converted into infamous jails like Abu Gharib and Guantanamo Bay,
where political prisoners were facing both mental and physical
torture and were being devoid of facilities necessary to be
provided under the jail manual.
Those who participated in the protest march and sit-in
included Peer Saifullah, Muhammad Shafi Khan, Sheikh Abdul
Rasheed, Sofi Mushtaq Ahmad, Raja Merajuddin Kalwal, Abdul Majeed
Wani, Muhammad Yaseen Butt, Farooq Ahmad Saudagar, Syed Imtiyaz
Haider, Zahoor Ahmad Butt, Abdul Rasheed Untoo, Muhammad Sidiq
Shah and Jaffar Kashmiri.
The protesting leaders and activists denounced the decision
of the PDP-BJP regime of providing domicile certificates to West
Pakistan Hindu Refugees and decision of Indian Supreme Court about
the implementation of Securitization and Reconstruction of
Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interest Act also
known as SARFEASI Act in the territory.
They said that this was a “ploy against abrogation of the
special status of Jammu Kashmir and changing the demography of the
territory” and demanded its withdrawal at the earliest.
They said that the PDP-led regime was only taking anti-
people decisions and implementing the nefarious designs of the
Hindu extremist organisations to convert the Muslim-majority Jammu
and Kashmir into a Muslim-minority territory by changing the
demography of the region on the pattern of Israel.
“PDP had become a collaborator of these extremist groups and
was busy putting the lives of Kashmiri Muslims at auction while
executing their anti-people decisions, which would not be accepted
at any cost,” they said and warned that if these anti-Muslim and
anti-Kashmir decisions were not revoked forthwith, a massive
agitation would be launched.
