Srinagar: Hurriyat Conference Jammu
Kashmir leader Shabir Ahmad Shah was arrested by a large contingent of police
when he was on his way to Boh, Awantipora. Shah was on his way to Tral in
connection with election boycott campaign where had to address a large
gathering.
According to a statement issued to KNS, Shah was
also to visit the residence of Javid Ahmad Kar to offer condolences with the
bereaved family on the demise of her mother. The spokesperson while terming the
arrest as government’s frustration severely condemned the act and said it is
irony that government on one hand is talking of elections here and on the other
is restricting the activities of its political opponents. “The democracy and
dictatorship are two contrary terms and this government believes in
dictatorship. It believes in using force on its political opponents and
preventing them from meeting the people.”
Terming the government’s seeking of assistance from
police in preventing Shah from addressing people at Tral as “undemocratic,
inhuman and immoral”, the spokesperson said that people will not accept the
dictatorship at any cost. “The fate of these dictators will be the same as that
of Afro-Asian dictators in recent past,” he said.
On the sad demise of mother of Democratic Freedom Party
member Javid Ahmad Kar, Shabir Ahmad Shah expressed condolences with the
bereaved family and expressed condolences with them on behalf of Hurriyat
Conference Jammu Kashmir (HCJK). Shah was also scheduled to visite there but
was prevented by police to do so.
Shah also expressed his grief over the demise of wife of
noted journalist and member International Red Cross, Surinder Oberoi alias
Lovely Singh. He said the whole nation is grateful to Lovely Singh for
objectively using his pen while dealing with Kashmir issue. He said Hurriyat
Conference prays for the deceased and for the bereaved family to bear the
irreparable loss. (KNS)
