Mirwaiz pays tributes to Bijbehara massacre victims

Srinagar

While paying glowing tributes to the “Martyrs” of Bijbehara on their 25th death anniversary, Incarcerated Hurriyat (M) Conference Chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq

The spokesman said that it was a black day in the history of Kashmir when 53 innocents were killed and more than 70 persons were injured by government forces at Bijbehara as people were protesting against the seige of Dargah Hazratbal Shrine.

The spokesman said that Kashmiris had continuously been at the receiving end of such “brutalities”. Hawal, Zakura, Gaw Kadal, Bijbehara, and Chatti Singhpora massacres were just a few examples where people had been killed and that these incidents had left an indelible mark on the psyche of the people as it was impossible for them to nurse their wounds.

Mirwaiz said that as the government has shielded the culprits of these massacres rather than punishing them , it was  a glaring example of how the state has operated ruthlessly in  Kashmir for the past 30 years.

Paying tributes to all the “martyrs” of Kashmir’s resistance movement from 1931 to the recent “martyrs” of Kulgam, he said, nations and dignified and thoughtful people always remember their “martyrs” and their sacrifices and safeguard them till times immemorial.

The Chairman urged the Government should give up its obduracy, and accept the reality  that it has to address the Kashmir dispute in accordance with the wishes of its people.
