Srinagar: Reiterating boycott call for upcoming bye-election, Syed Ali Geelani said that people in Jammu & Kashmir are striving for right to self-determination.
Urging people to exhibit persistence with the movement, Geelani said, We need to be optimistic, show wisdom and valour. We have presented unparalleled sacrifices for our birth right and are duty bound to safeguard these cherished sacrifices, added Geelani.
Geelani while hailing peoples commitment and their valour illustrated during last years uprising, said we need to follow the mission with same spirit and stay away from election drama. People faced bullets, sacrificed lives and scores were blinded, said Geelani & stressed to remember all these sacrifices.
“The few people who vote in election dramas were not only committing an act of treason, their actions were also acting as oxygen for the Indian occupation of Kashmir,” added Geelani.
Geelani said that taking part in election process tantamount to betrayal with the sacred blood of martyrs and it is disrespect towards those who were deprived from their belongings, lost eye sight and those who while pursuing mission were molested.
Elections conducted under the shadow of gun is clear sign that India has virtually lost its control and losing hold, said Geelani. Referring to Pro-Indian political parties, Syed Ali Geelani said although they during election campaign attribute these elections to Sadak, Pani & Bijli, however Indian authorities portray these elections as a consent from people for Indian hegemony.
They know that participation of a few people in these elections never mean any political decision regarding Kashmir issue, however if they are desirous to ascertain peoples verdict about the political destiny of state, then not a single person will cast his vote in their favour, nor they will find a single poling agent for their parties, said Syed Ali Geelani.
Vote is a trust & a divine treasure, said Geelani and only those noble souls deserve our consent and support, who for the welfare of humanity implement religious obligations like Salat and Zakat system.
Ridiculing State administration, Syed Ali Geelani said, soon as bye elections were announced, the resistance leaders were detained and were prevented from meeting people.
