Srinagar: Chairman of Hurriyat Conference (G) Syed Ali Shah Geelani has condemned the “rampage and brutalities” against Kashmiris and members of a particular community in Jammu.
In a statement Geelani said that “nobody on earth particularly we Kashmiris rejoice and celebrate the human loss of any race, region or religion. Muscular and revengeful response to the Pulwama incident against Kashmiri employees of Durbar move and members of the minority community looks a well planned conspiracy to tear away every fiber of communal harmony, social bonding and collective brotherhood.”
He said that “horrifying scenes of ruthlessly beating to pulp of Kashmiri drivers, students, employees, others and burning their vehicles, stoning their residences under the nose of police with their encouragement and go ahead signal has once again proved the two nation theory right.”
Hurriyat chairman said that “in chaining Kashmiris, every Indian, particularly its political class echoes in one voice and all support and endorse the venomous statement of its politicians to give armed forces free hand to deal in Kashmir whatever way they want. It is an open threat and license to crush and kill every Kashmiri and those men in uniform to be rewarded.”
“Non Kashmiris working here for their bread and butter, students or Durbar move employees enjoy the hospitality to the maximum and nobody ever has been harmed even the slightest. Forces massacre dozens of our youth on daily basis, no person belonging to their region and religion feels unsafe here.”
He said “the incident in Pulwama has put all the so-called secular faces in the same basket—but when 55 innocents were roasted live in Sopore or when our dozens of youth are massacred daily, no eye in India gets moist, no all party meet is called. This dual attitude is bound to have repercussions.”
He said that “who else than us feels the pain of losing dear ones—but threatening with might and free hand statements only fuel the already charged situation. Statesmanship and good sense should have prevailed on the Indian leadership to address the root cause of this unabated bloodshed.”
