Srinagar: In connection with taking
forward the election boycott campaign, an emergency meeting was called by
Hurriyat Conference Jammu Kashmir (HCJK) at its Sanat Nagar headquarters. The
meeting was presided over by Shabir Ahmad Shah and was also attended by freedom
party activists across the state. The meeting deliberated on the various
aspects of upcoming parliamentary elections.
According to a statement issued to KNS, while lashing out
at government, Shah said: “If government has courage to compete with pro-freedom
leadership at political level, let them allow the leaders of Hurriyat
Conference (G), Tehreek-e-Hurriyat, Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front and Hurriyat
Conference Jammu Kashmir to meet the people and not restrict their activities
of launching election boycott campaign.”
Terming the elections under the Indian Constitution as
contrary to the ongoing freedom movement, Shah said the nation that has
launched a resistance movement against occupational forces should not commit
such blunder of participating in the elections organized by the latter. “Those
parties who are participating in the elections are in fact giving the
democratic color to the Indian illegal occupation. As we don’t acknowledge the
Indian forcible rule on Jammu Kashmir and are struggling for the right to self
determination, so we are calling for complete boycott of elections.”
Shah said the pro-freedom leaders are endeavoring to free
the nation from the clutches of Indian subjugation while as those participating
in so-called elections are doing the opposite. “The majority of people consider
the pro-freedom leadership as their representatives.”
In the meeting, it was decided that Hurriyat will
continue its door to door election boycott program through lectures and
pamphlets. Shah urged activists to reach out to people at any cost to meet the
demands of movement. (KNS)
