Srinagar: Hurriyat Conference led by Mirwaiz Umar Farooq on Sunday ridiculed the “deceptive statement” of PDP MLA Haseeb Drabu that “J&K is not a conflict state and a political issue but a society with social issues in search of itself”.
In a statement issued here, a spokesman of the amalgam said that such falsehood was part of the propaganda being deliberately built to mislead and misdirect audiences in order to dilute the reality of the Kashmir dispute and weaken the discourse on Kashmir .
The spokesman said that unfortunately for the people of Kashmir while they are strongly resisting military control to assert their will, the self serving ambition and extreme opportunism of such individuals for power fame and wealth greatly raises the cost for them. “These individuals for the realization of their ambitions become voluntary tools in the hands of oppressors and act as their mouth piece whom the oppressor uses and discards as suits its interests.”
He said successive governments in India have patronised and promoted such people to systematically weaken and erode the Kashmir cause and gradually strengthen its own grip over J&K “as is evident before us.”
