SRINAGAR : Hurriyat Conference (M) Chairman, Mirwaiz Molvi Mohammad Umar Farooq Saturday stressed upon Panchayat representatives not to become tools to further political interests of India. He advised the Panchayat members to listen to their conscience and resign.
Pertinently, a high level delegation of Jammu Kashmir Panchayat Association led by their General Secretary Khurshid Ahmad Malik met Mirwaiz here and apprised him about the situation in the aftermath of killing of Panchayat members and failure of administration to protect them.
Responding to the queries of delegations, Mirwaiz stated that Kashmiris were engaged in the struggle for freedom from many decades.
Being the members of Kashmiri nation, Panchs and Sarpanches should listen to their conscience, he told the visiting delegation.
Mirwaiz said that it was highly regrettable that Panchs and Sarpanchs willingly became part of so called Panchayat election process thereby openly rejecting the political realities of Kashmir.
APHC Chairman stated that the democratic process is meaningful only at a place where people are politically free and enjoy full political rights.
Mirwaiz stated that practically Kashmir was a police state and India was using the so called elections for its own political interests. In this situation, Mirwaiz said that Panchayat election was futile and meaningless.
