JAMMU: MLA Langate Er. Rasheed was today marshaled out from assembly after heated arguments with BJP members at the end of his speech. While participating in the debate over uprising and killings in Kashmir, Er. Rasheed in his forceful speech termed the debate a futile exercise, arguing that could this debate resolve Kashmir dispute, get some innocent released from jail, punish someone who killed innocents, or bring somebodys life back.
Er. Rasheed retreated that J&K had never been Indias integral part nor will remain in future, unless people of J&K dont decide so through a plebiscite. Er. Rasheed blasted New Delhi for her unrealistic stand and colonial attitude towards people of J&K.
Er. Rasheed said while just few hundred people participated in the funeral of late Chief Minister Mufti Sahab, about fifty thousand participated in the funeral of Abu Qasim, a non-state subject, only for the reason that for Kashmiris militants are not terrorists. Those citing 1987 rigid elections as a reason to militancy are absolutely wrong in a saying so, as the history is witness to the fact that when people are deprived of their fundamental rights it gives birth to Yasir Arafat, Subash Chandra Bose, Raj Guru or Burhan Wani.
Let world understand that lahks dont turn up to the funeral of terrorists and the huge funeral of Burhan is enough to conclude that while state is ruling through the barrel of gun, Burhan was ruling the hearts of people. It is not New Delhi but Burhan and Abu Dujana ruling the state Er. Rasheed reminded the assembly that the militants are not taking arms for being uneducated or to get monitory benefits but there one point agenda is to ask New Delhi to fulfill promises made to them at UN.
Er. Rasheed said we will never beg to ban pallet guns revoke PSA, release prisoners or grant concessions as people of J&K treat India as an occupation state. If Govt. of India truly believes J&K to be its integral part, and wants UN permanent membership, it must fulfill the promise of holding the plebiscite. Seeking resolution to Kashmir dispute doesnt make anyone a traitor.
Er. Rasheed added that those claiming mass uprising being confined to valley only are lying to themselves, as who doesnt know in Chinab valley, Pir Panchal or many parts of Ladakh region state terrorism was resisted by Masses supporting plebiscite. Er. Rasheed added that those claiming existence of PDP, BJP alliance responsible for the uprising are misleading facts, as even if Hurriyat leaders or Syed Salah-ud-din are given power with limitless autonomy within Indian constitution, the situation would no change.
Er. Rasheed expressed surprise that while European Union, United Nations, Pakistan Parliament, Indian Parliament, British Parliament and other International forums do discuss in length and breadth the different angles of J&K dispute but the state Assembly doesnt collect the courage to ask for resolution of dispute.(PTK)
