SRINAGAR: Hurriyat Conference (G) has strongly condemned the summoning of editors and owners of reputed media houses said that for the past so many decades every individual of this nation and its every institution is paying a heavy price for the historical blunders of its myopic and self-centered political stalwarts.
Hurriyat Conference said that people whole heartedly supported them, suffered immensely for their political gains and played a decisive role in shaping and building their political cult without caring for themselves and their families, but the slaves of their own interests never cared for their wishes, aspirations and their emotions and stabbed them in their back to guarantee power and perks for not only themselves, but for their coming generations as well, dampening the whole nation in an unending pool of miseries, atrocities, chaos and uncertainty, from which every person strives very hard to get out, but thousands of deaths, large-scale devastation and unparallel miseries seem to have no end. Even the peaceful voice is hard to tolerate by the occupier.
Hurriyat said that root cause of all ills is the forced occupation, which has eroded the psyche of every individual, the essence of every institution and even our identity and existence is threatened.
It further said that throttling and curbing the media houses is part of the vast game plan by the fascist forces, using the mask of so-called democracy to destroy every fabric of it and those thumbing the chest to uphold the sanctity of fourth pillar of democracy are themselves the architects of the undemocratic assault on media.
Hurriyat said that like every institution media people too have a strenuous and suffocating environment to carry out their professional duties and they too had to face a double edged sword from the last so many decades. Although front pages and lead news is usually reserved for the occupier and its stooges, but still the sentiments of people managed to get some space, somewhere. But cunning oppressor cannot tolerate even that.
Hurriyat Conference said that how pathetic is that after every unrealistic, undemocratic and unethical assault on the basic and fundamental human rights, our highest bureaucracy is there to bail them out, by their explanations.
Meanwhile Hurriyat Conference has expressed deep concern for dillydallying tactics of Indian judiciary and administration regarding political prisoners presently confined in different jails of Jammu, Kashmir and outside. Judicial apathy and its deliberate slow pace has prolonged the stay of prisoners.
Hurriyat said that according to new norm, people are jailed and for more than 6 months, no judicial remedy or bail is possible. Justice for a common citizen is beyond his reach. Prisoners on one hand are kept thousands of miles away from their home land and on the other hand they are forced to face biased and communal jail staff.
Hurriyat said if any of the prisoner or his family member, is suffering from deadly ailment, propagators are democracy and humanity are power intoxicated to a such extent that they turn deaf and dumb to their miseries. (PTK)
