Qaiser Hameed Sofi
Hurriyat Conference (m) Monday expressed shock and strongly denounced the murderous assault on Qaiser Hameed Sofi, son of Abdul Hameed Sofi of Shalimar, a 16-year-old student of Mirak Shah Sahab School, “who was arrested by the forces and beaten and tortured and then forcibly” fed a germicide called “Neva” by the forces on Friday, October 28, 2016, and left in an unconscious state on the roadside following which he is battling for his life at SKIMS, Soura where he is on a ventilator.
Expressing sympathy and sharing the pain of Qaiser’s parents and family who had come to visit the Hurriyat Conference (m) chairperson, who continues to be under house arrest, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq denounced the murderous assault on the young student and said such cruelty and barbarity find few parallels in today’s age.
Deploring the forces for harassing people through crackdowns and ransacking of homes, the APHC-m Chairperson said, “in yet another barbaric incident, a nine-year-old girl of Kulgam died of cardiac arrest during these raids and expressed sympathy and solidarity with her parents.”
Stressing that the forces “taking advantage of draconian laws” under which they enjoy impunity were “carrying out a systematic wipe out of Kashmir’s young population”, Mirwaiz once again called upon the international human rights bodies to wake up to the brutalities of Kashmir.
Commenting on Omar Abdullah’s statement in which he said that Hurriyat Conference “did not act in time to save school buildings”, the Hurriyat Conference said, “after commending GoI for its integrity with regard to Kashmir and paying obeisance to his masters in his New York speech, Abdullah has suddenly woken up to express his deep concern about the future of Kashmiri children, when a few years ago he did not hesitate to facilitate the brutal killing of 120 young Kashmiris many among them school going children as the likes of 15-yr-old Shaheed Tufail Matoo who was killed in cold blood on his way home from school.”
“Post his New York utterances which have once again exposed his lust for chair and his crocodile tears of concern for people, Mr Abdullah now goes to the extent of deliberately spinning the facts and asking Hurriyat to have the courage to condemn the school burning incident, when he very well knows that not only has the resistance leadership repeatedly condemned it but it is greatly concerned about the seriousness of the school burning episodes which seems aimed at maligning the people’s movement and the handiwork of anti-movement agencies,” the Hurriyat Conference (m) said in the statement issued this evening.
It said that such statements are “aimed at” making the right noises to “please his masters” in New Delhi, “but it seems try as he may, as of now Mr Abdullah is out of favour with the dispensation there”.
Meanwhile, the Hurriyat Conference (m) spokesperson condemned the continued house arrest of the Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, senior Hurriyat leader, Mukhtar Ahmad Waza and APHC-m Media Advisor, Advocate Shahid-ul-Islam, arrest and slapping of PSA of veteran and ailing Hurriyat Conference leader Ghulam Nabi Zaki, who has been detained at Kot Bhalwal Jail.
The spokesperson said, “ransacking of homes, nocturnal raids and arresting of youth, continues unabated. While critical injuries were sustained by half-a-dozen youth who were protesting peacefully in Pulwama, and condemned the use of unabated violence on people.”
