SRINAGAR: Castigating New Delhi and Indian media for holding him responsible for over 100 innocent killings in Kashmir during summer agitation of 2010,Hurriyat (G) leader Masarat Aalam Friday said that people of Kashmir know it well who butchered innocent youth on the streets of Valley in 2010.
Yes, we came up with a programme against the occupation of India in Kashmir but it were Indian military apparatus that killed Kashmiri youth in cold-blood. People of Kashmir know it well who killed more than 100 innocent youth and New Delhi cant hoodwink and fool the people of Kashmir, Aalam told Srinagar based news agency, adding that he always believed in peace and will always fight peacefully against the occupation.
Castigating former Chief Minister Omar Abdullah for claiming that Mufti Muhammad Sayeed released him from jail after a deal, Masrat Aalam said that Omar can imagine anything as he lives in an imaginary world. It is just his (Omar Abdullahs) imagination and nothing else that I got freedom after a deal. Why should I deal with any politician and for what. I spent more than four years in prison and during all these years I challenged the grounds of my illegal detention, he said.
Masrat Aalam said that revelations made by then SSP Srinagar Syed Ashiq Bukhari are astounding that exposes the mindset of State apparatus. Bukharis statement makes it clear that fake encounters do occur in the State of Jammu and Kashmir and such incidents are not new to the people of Kashmir, he said adding that these revelations exposes the mindset of Omar Abdullah.
Pertinently, then SSP Srinagar Syed Ashiq Bukhari had claimed that Omar Abdullah wanted to see Masrat Aalam dead. Bukhari had claimed that Omar wanted him to eliminate Aalam in a fake encounter while his (Bukharis) police team apprehended Aalam in a neat and clean operation.
Responding to a question, Muslim League Chairman said that every Kashmiri in Kashmir is under surveillance of Indian security agencies. The directions from Indian Home Minister to Jammu and Kashmir Government to put me under surveillance didnt surprise or bother me as it is not only me but every Kashmiri is under the close surveillance of Indian security agencies, he said adding that his release from Jail exposed Indian policies on Kashmir and every Kashmir came to know that New Delhi forcibly rules over Jammu and Kashmir.
