Srinagar: While referring to the visit of some parliament members to the strife torn state, Hurriyat Conference (G), chairperson Syed Ali Geelani Monday said that it is “surprising” that law makers in Delhi only wake up from their ‘slumber’ by death and destruction of Kashmiris.
“Indian armed forces and local police have unleashed a reign of terror in the state killed more than 60 innocents, blinded about 400, injured about 6000 and after complete one month brutal carnage, these people are coming to sooth our wounds,” Geelani said in a statement this evening.
“These people are not ready to come out of the cocoon of their national interest,” Geelani said and appealed people that wherever they (Parliamentarians) go, whichever place they visit whether hospitals or localities they should be “welcomed by slogans of freedom”.
“They should be told unanimously and in one voice that no employment, no package, no development and even no mockery of so-called negotiations can fade or weaken our zest for Azadi,” Geelani asserted.
“It should be conveyed to them in more than clear terms that our struggle will continue till the last Indian solider on our soil,” he added.
Referring to the widespread arrest spree throughout state, Geelani said, “policemen join the demonstrations in civil dresses, identify the youth and then arrest them in nocturnal raids. In police stations, they are subjected to worst kind of torture and inhuman and uncivilized treatment. They demand ransom for their release. Thereby, making it very profitable business for them”, he said.
“These black sheep in police are once again warned that either they desist from these anti-people and anti-movement activities or face the consequences as we all especially young generation are the custodians of this holy struggle or we keep an eagle’s eye on it and will never allow anybody who so ever he or she may be to derail it.”
