ISLAMABAD, (APP): The Chairman of Hurriyet forum,
Mirwaiz Umar Farooq has flayed the authorities for foiling
Hazratbal Chalo programme of the resistance leadership by imposing
curfew and other restrictions and using indiscriminate force.
Mirwaiz Umar Farooq in a media interview in Srinagar said
that the people of Kashmir and the Hurriyet leadership had planned
for a peaceful rally to pay tributes to people martyred during the
past on month and protest against their brutal killing but the
authorities sabotaged the programme, Kashmir Media reported on
Saturday.
He said that by pushing people more and more to the wall and
not allowing them any space to register their protest by using
excessive force, the authorities are infuriating the people and
deteriorating the situation further. He added that the policies
being adopted against the people of Kashmir clearly show that the
Government of India is at war with the people of Kashmir.
The Mirwaiz termed the silence of the international community
towards the killings and injuring of Kashmiri people for the past
one month as one of the worst tragedies of the present times.
“This should not discourage Kashmiri people from carrying
forward the ongoing resistance movement and they must keep faith
in themselves and the Allah Almighty and remain consistent and
steadfast in their fight for right to self-determination,” he
said.
