ISLAMABAD, (MILLAT ONLINE/APP): Top resistance leaders including
Syed Ali Gilani, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and Muhammad Yasin Malik in
Indian occupied Kashmir, have paid tributes to the eight youth who
were killed in the firing of Indian forces on protesters during
polling for sham Indian parliamentary elections in central Kashmir
on Sunday.
According to Kashmir Media Service, the leaders said that
pro-India Peoples Democratic Party and National Conference were
responsible for the bloodshed.
The Chairman of All Parties Hurriyet Conference, Syed Ali
Gilani in a statement in Srinagar said that deceitful politics of
NC and PDP was now over and sooner they winded up their shops was
better for them.
He termed Mehbooba Mufti and Farooq Abdullah as swindlers
now shedding crocodile tears over these killings.
Referring to an earlier statement of Mehbooba Mufti, Syed
Ali Gilani’s spokesman said, “Mehbooba is playing deceit and
lamentation over these killings is just a mockery and political
gimmick.”
Holding National Conference responsible for present chaos in
the territory, the spokesman said they share the responsibility
for continued killings.
“It was Farooq Abdullah, who in 1996 raised police task
force and thousands of innocents were either killed or disappeared
during custody,” the statement added.
“In 2010, during Omer Abdullah’s administration, hundreds of
innocent youngsters were massacred. It is disheartening that till
now he never regretted about these killings nor was any culprit
brought to book.”
The Chairman of Hurriyet forum, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, while
paying tributes to the martyred youth, in a statement said, India
is “killing our youth for sport”.
He said, “It is getting clear by the day that the current
dispensation in Delhi has decided to adopt a repressive military
approach in dealing with the political and human problem of
Kashmir.”
Local collaborators have lost all sense of shame and
sensitivity to the pain, suffering and sacrifices of the people of
Kashmir, he said, adding, “The people of Kashmir by rejecting the
election drama sent an absolutely clear message to Delhi and the
world that their goal is the right to self-determination and
nothing else.”
The Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front Chairman, Muhammad
Yasin Malik in his statement from jail termed the exemplary
boycott as a referendum, saying that the 5% theory of Mehbooba
Mufti had come true but with one big correction that even 5%
Kashmiris are not with India.
“Kashmiris cannot be forced into submission by this killing
spree, maiming and other oppressive measures,” Malik said.
“Frustrated by the exemplary boycott and peaceful protest
across Valley against this drama, soldiers and police at the
behest of so-called rulers fired upon many innocent youth at
various places and killed and injured many of them,” he deplored.
