Srinagar: Hurriyat Conference (M) chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq Friday criticised the ruling regime for once again imposing severe restrictions in and around Jamia Masjid areas to disallow people from reaching there and thwarting the joint resistance program of peaceful protest against the anti Kashmir policies of granting domicile rights to West Pakistan refugees and using the judiciary to subvert the Kashmir dispute.
He said the authorities in Kashmir deserve to be in world record books for their constant improvisation in the skills of how to crush people’s rights and liberties while maintaining the appearance of normalcy and peace.
Earlier I was kept under house arrest on Fridays and after tremendous pressure and to avoid international shame and censure I am now allowed but what it is ensured is that there is least participation of people, said the Mirwaiz.
According to Hurriyat (M) spokesperson, a small audience had turned up at the Masjid as very few people after thorough checks were allowed inside Masjid.
The Mirwaiz while commenting on the WPRs domicile issue said that while tens of thousands of Kashmiri have been killed and continue to be killed mercilessly and are subject to all kinds of torture indignity and oppression not an iota of remorse is felt by the perpetrators, but for the WP refugees the milk of human kindness is over brimming in their tender hearts.
He said it defies understanding that the same people who ruthlessly kill and blind their own those they claim to have elected can be so “sensitive “to the inconvenience of outsiders.
Mirwaiz said in actuality they have no love lost for the WP refugees but are using them.
The ploy to grant domicile rights to them is in keeping with the BJP, RSS agenda of steadily and methodically changing the demographic nature of the state with the ultimate aim of doing away with the disputed nature of Kashmir and its assimilation into Akhand Bharat, said the Hurriyat (M) chief.
He said RSS has never made a secret of it and openly propagated its anti Kashmir agenda.
This time around with the help and support of quislings who unfortunately are from among us they got the opportunity and are fast on the way to implement their designs, he asserted.
The Mirwaiz said Indian supreme court ruling challenging the sovereignty of Kashmir and the deliberate callousness infact tacit support of the state rulers in the SARFAESI case, paving way for Indian financial institutions to seize immovable properties of local residents and sell it to outsiders in case of default are glaring example of how the states disputed nature is being deliberately and systematically undermined through the judiciary route also.
All kinds of efforts both overt and covert are being made towards the goal of assimilation, he said.
After the prayers Mirwaiz led a protest rally outside Jamia Masjid against the government decision of issuing Domicile Certificates to WPR’s and imposition of SARFAESI Act.
