SrinagarTo undermine the political struggle of the people of Jammu and Kashmir, deceitful and divisive statements are issued by people at the helm in the Govt of India. This was stated by Mirwaiz Umar Farooq here on Friday.
Mirwaiz, who was allowed to offer Friday congregational prayers at historic Grand Mosque of Srinagar after several weeks said in his sermon that the political struggle of the people of J&K for self-determination is not confined to the Kashmir Valley only but is spread across from Kargil to Chenab valley be it Doda, Bhaderwah, Kishtwar, Rajouri, Poonch and other areas. The struggle is fully supported and carried forward by the people of these regions, he said.
Mirwaiz said repeated shut downs, peaceful protests and condemnation of state oppression against aggression and killings in the valley in these areas show their complete support and commitment to the just cause being pursued by the people of the region.
Mirwaiz said the fact is that it is actually a section in the two and a half districts in Jammu division that do not support the people’s movement.
Mirwaiz said the people of Chenab Valley have made a great contribution and offered priceless sacrifices towards the freedom struggle which can never be forgotten.
Mirwaiz said that although Hurriyat leadership is being barred from visiting these areas and meeting their brethren, despite all odds, people of Chenab Valley are in a constant touch with the pro-freedom leadership.
Mirwaiz, who was released from his six-day long house detention, said that Kashmir struggle is based on the principle of justice and people are committed to continue their fight for the right to self determination.
The APHC (M) chairman said the coming together of the resistance leadership in Kashmir has unnerved New Delhi, which is trying its level best to discredit the movement and its leadership and now they are trying to mislead people in India and the international community that Kashmirs freedom movement was confined to few districts and communities.
Mirwaz said that let those in power in India and their local collaborators get it clear that jailing detaining arresting or gagging the pro movement leadership will not affect the determination of the people and their firmness in striving for their political aspirations and will to decide their destiny. Mirwaiz said It is a people’s movement and directly draws its succor from them and this movement will remain alive as long as it lives in the hearts and minds of the people whether leadership is there to guide them or behind bars.
