Srinagar: Hurriyat Conference has strongly denounced the massive frisking and search operation in run up to January 26, stating that this has resulted in huge hardships for the general public as the entire Kashmir has been converted into a military fortress.
“India’s Republic Day adds to the miseries of the people of Kashmir as search operations are intensified, people especially the youth harassed , roads blocked, vehicles checked, two-wheelers seized and people asked to prove their identity every 100 meters,” said Hurriyat Conference in a statement issued here.
Hurriyat Conference paid glowing tributes to three armed youth at Binner village of Baramulla—Shoaib Farooq Akhoon, Mohsin Mushtaq Bhat, and Nasir Ahmed Darzi, stating that the “sacrifices rendered by the youth have once again clarified that the people of Kashmir are engaged in a sacred struggle to free their homeland from the clutches of occupation and illegal control.”
Hurriyat Conference said that Kashmir’s young lot is being pushed to wall through ultimate oppression and left with the no option other than to pick up arms to fight the repression.
The spokesman said that Kashmir issue was purely political in nature and the dispute can be resolved by means of sustained dialogue with all the stake holders but GOI’s intransigence and military approach is pushing an entire generation of Kashmiris towards picking up arms, the spokesman said.
