Srinagar : Hurriyat Conference Majlish Shoora (Executive Council) held an important meeting presided over by its chairman, Syed Ali Geelani at Hyderpora Srinagar on Saturday.
In his presidential address, Geelani as per a statement issued to KNO said that chaotic and confusing situation has panicked every individual. “Increasing the forces deployment, rumors of tempering special provisions of state, suspension of Yatra, evacuating tourists, students and yatries has created a war like situation,” he said. He said that pro-Indian politicians are the real culprits of hollowing these provisions just to grab luxurious for themselves and their progeny.
Geelani said that the land grants bill was passed by them and their leaders even openly said that Article 370 is not a divine saying which cannot be altered. State land was allotted to Shrine board and separate colonies to create state within the state were proposed by these supporters, now they shed crocodile tears to protect them.
He said that those threatening Delhi rulers from here bow their heads just with an embezzlement enquiry. He said despite their decade old appeasement and obeying their orders without applying their own minds, but even after surrendering every bit of their conscience and even faith, they are not trusted rather humiliated and thrown away. “History stands testimony that every collaborator big or mighty meets same fate,” he added.
Geelani said that for resistance camp, these provisions never exist as they have been booked in those cases which have no jurisdiction here. They were forced to be lodged in jails outside state long ago, he said.
“Although these provisions were existing on papers only—still they have a historical relevance and are globally accepted as the legacy of dispute and Indian fascist rulers want to do with these on paper hurdles to enforce demographic changes as they did in 1947 in Jammu interacting half a million Muslims and cautioned Delhi rulers that they must not forget that this is not 1947 and any such mischief will be resisted to the maximum,” he added.
Geelani leader said that those parroting the Jammu and Kashmir to be their “integral part”, have to keep more than one million armed forces on high alert for 24 hours. “They have to spent a hefty share of their budget on defense and threaten the life of their innocent army every day—but despite such massive human and material investment, India failed to win over the hearts and minds of Kashmiris for 72 long years and one dare to voice our sentiments in spite of roaring guns,” Geelani said.
He said that we are constrained as thousands of our leaders and workers are languishing in jails—but those outside in this bigger jail, have a responsibility to rise to the accession and play their role rather than acting a mute spectator.
Pro-freedom leader said that recent geopolitical scenario and positive gestures by world leaders have once again negated Indian narrative of internal or bilaterality of Kashmir issue. It has again crossed over these false boundaries which has unnerved Indian establishment and they have resorted to the hysterical and unparalleled response.
Commenting upon the pathetic and unjustified media response, Hurriyat chairman said that they do whatever is fed to them. We are aware of their hardships and limitations and recent curbs—but they need to keep it in mind that they are part and parcel of this society. They thrive on the blood and flesh of not only their fraternity but this nation as well. They are cultivated by this nation and their unjustified and unprofessional attitude is unbearable.
Appealing Muslims of Kargil and Jammu he said that they need to be vigilant, cautious and focused and assured them that they will not be forced to be at the mercy of fascist forces. He further said that we should strengthen our faith and bonding with Almighty Allah, avoid immorality, extravagancy in our functions especially marriages.
Appealing the nation particularly youth, pro-freedom leader said that we have to be ready for a long and tough struggle as the oppressor seems to be hell-bent upon testing our nerves. He said that we have proved it in hard times in 2008, 2010, 2016 or devastating 2014 floods.
Encouraging the spirit of brotherhood and helpfulness, building and trusting the values of austerity with the help and blessings of Allah Almighty we will overcome any tough time. He requested people not to be panic and prepare for any eventuality.
Meeting also condemned the confinement of Hurriyat General Secretary Haji Gh. Nabi Sumji and Manzoor Ahmad Gazi.
