Srinagar: Joint Resistance Leadership on Monday strongly condemned the ruling regimes decision of imposing toughest curbs and restrictions in downtown Srinagar even as it said complete shutdown by people across the Valley amplifies their commitment to the mission of the martyrs.
The JRL comprising Syed Ali Geelani, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and Muhammad Yasin Malik, who were placed under custody in homes and jails on the eve of martyrdom anniversaries of Mirwaiz Moulvi Muhammad Farooq, Abdul Gani Lone and martyrs of Hawal massacre, said that entire nation observed the 28th martyrdom anniversary of Shaheed-e-Milat and over 60 martyrs of Hawal massacre . The leadership said that the complete shutdown observed by the people across the Valley amplifies their commitment to the mission of the martyrs and the ongoing movement and their pledge that no matter how tough the repression goes, people will continue to strive for their rights till the final goal is achieved.
JRL condemned in strongest words the stringent curbs imposed in entire downtown by the government to foil the Eidgah rally where leaders and people would pay tributes to the martyrs and reaffirm their pledge, stating that the ruling regimes fear of peoples power and commitment towards the freedom struggle makes them take these totalitarian measures .The ruling regime doesn’t have the courage to meet us on political turf.
JRL said that no matter how far Delhi and its local “collaborators” go in unleashing repression upon people, people have shown that they will continue to follow the cause for which the martyrs sacrificed their life and will at all cost resist the New Delhi’s military might with full strength.
JRL expressed its regret and anguish over the ruling regimes measure of barring congregational fateh khawani at the martyr’s graveyard since the past eight years by use of extreme force and imposing strict curbs in majority of downtown areas. They said that such inhuman measure exposes the stooges and their masters that they do not even allow us to offer Fateh for our dead and visit their graveyard on their martyrdom day.
JRL also denounced the rulers for keeping the entire downtown under curfew for the past three days even during the holy month of Ramadan
