Srinagar: Strongly condemning the firing and seriously injuring four teenage girls in Shpoian, Hurriyat Conference Chairman, Syed Ali Geelani said that this is what the Indian army means by the much hyped ‘ceasefire’.
In a statement issued here, he said that it was the genetic nature of the “oppressor that it inflicts the wounds first and then sprinkles the salt and pepper on them, to aggregate the pain and agony of the sufferer, so that these sick-minded rulers get psychological and mental pleasure.”
He said that it was the same army which in whole of the state of Jammu and Kashmir, particularly South Kashmir, “butchered and massacred hundreds” of youth irrespective of their being armed or un-armed, wounded, maimed and blinded thousands of innocents just for peaceful protests in demand of their basic rights, and “now most brazenly and shamelessly, the arrange the so-called Iftar Party, to show their artificial love and affection with these bereaved families.” He applauded and hailed the people of Shopian who opposed these “fake gestures”.
The octogenarian leader said that when people of that area didn’t want such an event, why these men in uniform forced their dictation on “gunpoint and when people opposed they fired to silence them by bullets, “honoring and respecting their so-called ‘ceasefire’”. He said army will continue to conduct such iftar parties to mingle with the people so that they could wash off their hands “drenched in our blood, but people are cautioned to behave like their Shopian brethren and not to participate in such activities”.
