Castigating right wing Hindu nationalist Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP) for its demand of bombing Pakistan administered Kashmir (PaK), Hurriyat Conference (m) chairperson, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq on Friday said that such demand was aimed at destabilising sub-continent.
Addressing a mammoth gathering on the occasion of Youm-ul-Qudus at historic Jamia Masjid here, Mirwaiz said, “this is ridiculous that such war cry has been given by certain people.”
“It is not 1965, 1971,” Mirwaiz told the gathering, “this is 2016 when India and Pakistan are nuclear armed.”
Notably, J&K BJP Lawmakers a few days back, on the floor oa Legislative Assembly, asked government to bomb PaK in the backdrop of attack on CRPF at Pampore recently in which eight CRPF personnel were killed and two militants died.
“This is absurd,” Mirwaiz roared, “war is not option as sub-continent will perish if such a demand is acceded.”
Mirwaiz Umar said that Kashmir dispute is a humanitarian one and “it is India’s stubborn approach of India which is pushing educated Kashmiri youth towards armed resistance”.
“Hurriyat Conference stands for dialogue,” he said, “but India needs to understand this issue so as to save further loss of life and property.”
Lashing out at Ms Mehbooba Mufti led PDP-BJP government, Mirwaiz asked ruling PDP where “has its Battle of Ideas and Goli Nai Boli” slogans. “It was all farce,” he said, “their only aim was chair and that is what they have achieved.”
Charging unionist political parties of “furthering RSS agenda in Kashmir”, the chief cleric said, “this is a Muslim majority state and we will not allow anyone one to damage our identity.”
Asserting that government’s statement that “there was no land for establishment of Sainik Colony in Kashmir”, Mirwaiz said, “we cannot take it at face value.”
Continuing with its demand that New Industrial Policy was “against interests of Kashmir”, Mirwaiz said, “if government doesn’t take it back along with the idea of Sainik and Pandit Colonies, resistance leadership will devise a comprehensive protest program against after Eid.”
Criticising the move of snooping on clerics, Mirwaiz cautioned government against the move. “This is direct interference in our religious matters,” he said, “government should not avoid such a step which will invite wrath of people.”
He said clerics are responsible people who know what people should be taught during sermons.
Lashing out at authorities, Mirwaiz demanded immediate release of all political prisoners. “It is astonishing that our people are being jailed during this holy Ramzan.”
Pressing United Nations and Organization of Islamic Conference to play its role in resolution of Kashmir and Palestine, Mirwaiz said, “the resolution of these two disputes will ensure peace and stability across the world.”
Amid pro-freedom sloganeering, Mirwaiz read out a resolution which was supported by faithful at the end of his address.
