Srinagar: Chairman Jammu Kashmir liberation front (JKLF) Muhammad Yasin Malik Wednesday said that 13th July is one of the glorious days of our history when Kashmiris raised their voices against illegal occupation, oppressive rule and tyranny, endured bullets on their chests but refused to bow their heads before the forces of falsehood. Present struggle is actually the continuation of the struggle started in 1931 and so is today’s oppression similar to the oppression of that time. Our young ones are being pushed to the wall and killed with impunity.
In a statement issued to KNS, terming 1931 martyrs as symbols of freedom and bravery, JKLF chairman Muhammad Yasin Malik said that today we are remembering martyrs who demonstrated unparallel courage and stood firm against tyranny and oppression, endured bullets on their chests but refused to bow before tyranny, illegal occupation and dictatorship.
He said that the present people’s revolution that started in 1988 is actually a continuation of the struggle started in 1931. The struggle going on today is a continuation of 1931 and so is the tyranny, oppression and subjugation same, JKLF chief said.
It is ironical that rulers and other pro-India forces despite being agents of oppressors celebrate martyr’s day and shower flowers on the graves of these martyrs and thus try to deceive people of Kashmir, JKLF chairman stated. So-called rulers who are suppressing voices of masses by unabated innocent killings, putting thousands behind bars, blinding and maiming thousands and unleashing reign of terror should have some shame before celebrating Martyrs days and showering flowers on martyr’s graves, said Incarcerated JKLF chief.
He said that to sabotage united Resistance leadership program regarding 13th July, police and forces not only imposed curfew, restrictions, and unleashed reign of arrests and other oppressive measures but imposed a blanket ban on media and internet too. Also so-called rulers arrested and house arrested leaders and other people and all these ugly acts prove that these so-called rulers and their masters in Delhi and Nagpur have no faith in any kind of democracy or humanity and also that these people are afraid of the popularity of resistance leadership.
JKLF incarcerated chairman said that since the start of PDP/BJP rule in Jammu Kashmir, a blanket ban has been put on every peaceful political activity. Nobody is allowed to meet people and even mourning’s and funerals are being showered bullets, pellets and shells. The propagators of Goli Nahin Boli (talks not bullets) have actually turned Kashmir into a killing field on our innocent youth and recent so-called encounter at Beerwah in which three unarmed young boys Shaheed Sajad Ahmad Gilkar from Pandan, Shaheed Aquib Gul from Gouripora and Shaheed Tafazul islam from Narbal were killed with impunity is a glaring example of the callousness of these rulers. These young boys were tortured, humiliated and pushed to the wall and only few days ago they were compelled to leave their families and today they have been eliminated brutally by colonial forces.
He said that Shaheed Sajad Gilkar was arrested and lodged at Kotbalwal jail for his peaceful struggle and recently was released from incarceration. According to the residents of his locality police one day before Eid held him on road and humiliated him severely and thus compelled him to choose the path of ultimate sacrifice.
Paying tributes to these innocent martyrs, JKLF incarcerated chairman said that so-called rulers and their masters who are today playing with the lives of innocent Kashmiris with impunity should remember that according to the law of retribution they will have to pay for these crimes against humanity one day.
He said that tyranny and oppression was not able to suppress our freedom struggle in 1931 and oppression, suppression and tyranny will also fail in defeating our present freedom struggle (INsha Allah).
Meanwhile various JKLF delegations comprising of JKLF leaders Noor Muhammad Kalwal, Zahoor Ahmad Butt, Altaf Khan, Mushtaq Ahmad Khan and Bashir Ahmad Kashmiri visited the residences of recent Beerwah Martyrs, participated in their funeral prayers and expressed solidarity with their bereaved families.
