SRINAGAR: Cautioning that attempts of harming the religious and cultural identity of Kashmiris and changing the demography of the region by converting Muslim-majority into a minority were being made under a “well-planned design”, All Parties Hurriyat Conference (m) Chairperson, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq Friday said a joint strategy would be devised to meet these challenges and foil the “nefarious designs of the RSS and its collaborators in the state”.
“All anti-Kashmir plans and conspiracies being attempted against the people of Kashmir would be opposed tooth and nail and could be countered only by showing strong involvement and steadfastness to carry the resistance movement forward,” he said.
Expressing determination that a joint strategy would be devised to counter these designs, he said, “the resistance leadership would not stay silent but will meet these challenges head on.”
In his address before the Friday congregational prayers at the Jamia Masjid in Srinagar, the APHC-m chief while appealing people to stay vigilant and guarded against the anti-people plans of the government said, “since the day BJP had come to power at New Delhi, their collaborators in Kashmir hand in glove with their patrons were busy working against the interest of the people of Kashmir.”
“Plans of setting up colonies for retired Army men (Sainik Colony), refugees and satellite colonies for Kashmiri Pandits besides an anti-Kashmiri Industrial Policy clearly points towards the designs of carrying out a demographic change and the dilution of the disputed nature of Jammu and Kashmir,” he said.
Reminding the political parties in power in Jammu Kashmir that “they were only meant for providing Sadak, Pani aur Bijli (roads, water and electric supply) and suffice the daily needs of the people”, Mirwaiz cautioned them against harming the peoples’ larger interests and called upon them to come up with a clear-cut policy before the people, who “otherwise” would give them a hard time.
Terming Kashmiri Pandits an inseparable part of Kashmiri society, he said their return to Valley would be welcomed by one and all “but an attempt to divide people by separating them on religious or sectarian basis would be strongly opposed by the Hurriyat”.
Hurriyat Conference Rally led by Mirwaiz Umar Farooq on May 20, 2016
Paying tributes to Mirwaiz Moulvi Muhammad Farooq, Khawaja Abdul Gani Lone, Martyrs of Hawal and all the martyrs of Kashmir’s resistance movement for their sacrifices, the APHC-m Chairperson said, “Shaheed-e-Millat’s martyrdom was a national tragedy in the history of Kashmir.”
“From 1963 to the day of his martyrdom, Shaheed-e-Millat had led the just struggle of Kashmiri people and guided them towards the right path. It was for his great contribution that in the history of entire South Asia, for the first time scores of mourners laid their lives to the bullets of ruthless forces while accompanying the funeral procession of their beloved leader,” he said.
On the occasion, the Jamia Masjid Srinagar Imam Hai Moulana Syed Ahmad Naqshbandi paid glowing tributes to the Shaheed-e-Millat and appreciated people for carrying forward his mission with dedication.
After the Friday congregational prayers, as per the programme, a rally led by Mirwaiz was taken out from Jamia Masjid Srinagar in which people including men, women and youth participated in large numbers, a Hurriyat Conference (m) said this evening.
“The rally culminated at Shaheed-i-Chowk amid pro-Islam, pro-Azadi and ‘Jis Kashmir Ko Khoon Sey Seecha, Woh Kashmir Hamara Hai’ slogans,” the statement added.
On the occasion, while paying tributes to Shaeed-e-Millat, Shaeed-e-Hurriyat, Martyrs of Hawal and all martyrs of Kashmir, it was resolved that “the mission of these martyrs would be taken to its logical conclusion”.
Appealing people to observe a complete shutdown across entire Jammu Kashmir on May 21, Mirwaiz urged them to reach Martyrs Graveyard at Eidgah in large numbers and make the programme a success.
“If the state government would attempt to abort the programme like it had been doing in the past, it would be their acceptance of defeat,” he said.
On the occasion, Jammu Kashmir Awami Awami Action Committee acting General Secretary, G N Zaki presented a resolution which was passed unanimously.
The resolution would also be presented before the public gathering at Martyrs Graveyard at Eidgah on May 21.
