Srinagar: As part of its election
boycott campaign Hurriyat Conference Jammu Kashmir (HCJK) leaders Friday addressed
a huge gathering at Bomai, Sopore in north Kashmir.
According to a statement issued to KNS, the leaders led
by Shabir Ahmad Shah said that by involving the people of Kashmir in so-called
elections India can never suppress our freedom movement.
“The freedom movement is aimed at creating self-reliance
among people by liberating the nation from the clutches of slavery while as the
so-called power politics is the game-plan of the elements who exploit the
nation for their petty self interests,” Shabir Ahmad Shah while addressing the
gathering said. Other Hurriyat leaders who spoke on the occasion included
Mushtaq ul Islam, Shabir Ahmad Dar, Muhammad Yusuf Naqash, Wajahat Quereshi and
Muhammad Yasin Ataai.
Shah said that living nations do not sacrifice their
“freedom” for petty interests. He said we have laid innumerous sacrifices so as
to live with honour and dignity at par with other free nations. “So, we call
for complete boycott of upcoming parliamentary and assembly polls to honour the
precious blood laid by our martyrs like Shaheed Muhammad Maqbool Bhat and
Shaheed Muhammad Afzal Guru,” he said.
Warning people against the ill designs of pro-India
politicians, Shah said they are applying “divide and rule” policy here by
turning people against each other on geographical, linguistic, religious and
racial lines but our freedom struggle is aimed at liberating all the sections
of Jammu and Kashmir State from the forcible occupation of India.”
Commenting on the state terrorism leashed upon the length
and breadth of the valley, Shah said despite the ill treatment of political
prisoners in jails, miseries of the parents of disappeared people and frequent
arrests of Hurriyat activists, the people of Kashmir are filled with the spirit
of freedom.
Shabir Ahmad Shah also expressed satisfaction and
gratitude to the Government of Pakistan for its unrelenting political, moral
and diplomatic support to Kashmiris.
“It is due to the endeavours of Pakistan that oppression
and atrocities inflicted by India on Kashmiri people were highlighted at
international level. Our freedom movement is in dire need of that country’s
every support and we hope that Pakistan will continue fulfilling its
responsibilities towards Kashmir issue,” Shah said. Shah also urged Hurriyat
leaders to play active role in creating awareness among people with regards to
anti-movement propagandas of pro-India elements. (KNS)
