Srinagar: Hurriyat Conference (G) chairman Syed Ali Geelani on Sunday said that the situation in Jammu Kashmir was quite explosive and that Indian leaders “infuriated, provocative and inflammatory statements” were adding fuel to fire.
Reacting to Indian Home Minister Rajnath Singh statement on Kashmir, Geelani said those in power corridors, follow their particular mindset and just for lust of chair and for vote bank issue such “irrational and illogical statements against Pakistan and Kashmir”. Rajnath has said that Kashmir is with India and Kashmir will remain with India forever.
Geelani rejected the claims made by Rajnath wherein he has said that’ “Kashmir is with India and Kashmir will remain with India forever,” and said that Indian leaders while ignoring and undermining the historical facts were creating “war euphoria in the region and trampling all norms and ethics.”
He sought the intervention of the international community in the wake of “a new wave of state terror unleashed by the Indian armed forces” in Jammu and Kashmir, saying that people under the shadow of gun are continuously living a disturbing life.
Geelani alleged that “India continues to institutionally perpetrate violence in Jammu and Kashmir and create disturbance on borders, saying they are pushing whole region into war like situations.”
“We will never surrender or succumb to pressure. We will pursue our cherished mission till its logical conclusion.”
He said it was very sad that instead of making their forces accountable for inhuman acts, killings, violation of human values, the leadership in New Delhi encourages them by conferring these forces with honour and medals and “illustrates their frustration and their stale and fanatical ideology.”
“The situation in Jammu Kashmir is quite explosive. India is creating graveyard like silence with their might and force.”
Lamenting authorities for laying curbs on political activities, rampant use of black laws and hooliganism, saying the “infuriated, provocative and inflammatory statements of Indian leadership are adding fuel to fire.”
Geelani appealed India and Pakistan to demonstrate restraint and wisdom and play a constructive role for peaceful resolution of the Kashmir issue which poses a threat to world peace.
