Srinagar: Hurriyat Conference (M) on Friday paid rich tributes to “budding intellectual and freedom fighter PhD scholar” Manan Wani and his aide Ashiq Hussain killed in Handwara gunfight, stating that the sacrifice of young and educated youth is deeply painful loss.
Hurriyat Conference said that the complete strike observed across Kashmir to pay homage to Manan Wani sends a strong message to GoI as “it reflects peoples deep connect with the cause which the martyrs represent.”
The Hurriyat Conference expressed strong resentment over the frequent closure of historic Jamia Masjid by the authorities and barring Mirwaiz from delivering Friday sermon as it was yet again sealed by the forces, who also barred people from reaching there as strict curfew was imposed in the entire area. Terming it as anti-Muslim and autocratic, the Hurriyat Conference said that it’s for the 15th time this year that congregational Friday prayers were not allowed at the historic mosque. “Jama Masjid has always been a target of the authorities.”
The Amalgam appealed prominent rights organisations across the world and also the OIC to intervene into the serious violation of the fundamental religious rights of the People of J&K and ask GoI to restore them.
Hurriyat Conference appealed people in the poll bound areas in Kashmir to observe protest strike called by Joint Resistance Leadership (JRL) tomorrow to show their rejection of it.
Meanwhile, Hurriyat Conference spokesman strongly denounced the continuous house detention of its chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and octogenarian Syed Ali Geelani and the continuous arrest of JKLF chief Mohammad Yasin Malik and other leaders.
