KUPWARA MLA Langate and Awami Itehad Party (AIP) President, Er Rasheed, Thursday said that armed struggle was the only solution to resolve Kashmir dispute.
Reacting over Governor, Satyapal Maliks, statement that militants should not expect bouquets in exchange of bullets, Rasheed said that Kashmiris want a peaceful resolution to the seventy-year long political dispute and armed struggle is only outcome of New Delhis constant denial to resolve Kashmir dispute.
Governor Malik needs to be reminded that on most of the occasions it is not militants but the government forces who initiate the encounters by conducting cordon and search operations and the pro-active policies of New Delhi are pushing youth to join militancy. While militants too must be knowing that no one will give them bouquets in exchange of bullets, New Delhi too should realize that Kashmiris will never bow before its might after being greeted with bullets, pellets and humiliation. Governors contradictory statements expose the lack of consistency and sincerity in the mindset of New Delhi.
Rasheed added that it is nothing but state terrorism and denial of New Delhi that is pushing every Kashmiri to wall and thus the game of death and destruction seems to be endless.
He said, New Delhi wants peace of its choice and timing but does not understand how difficult it is for every Kashmiri to bear the consequences of hard-line approach being adopted here. Governor must understand that the lowest ever turn out in the recently concluded Municipal elections was not managed through the barrel of the gun by the militants but New Delhis constant designs of deception forced masses not to participate in these elections.
It is high time for the Governor to introspect and examine the real reason behind New Delhis failures in Kashmir rather than trying to add salt to the injuries of masses. Kashmiris never expected bouquets from New Delhi but have unfortunately always seen the ugly face of deep state, he added.
