While expressing grief over the death of Muzafar Ahmad, who was injured on April 9 in Ganderbal in clashes and later succumbed on Wednesday in SMHS hospital Srinagar, incarcerated chairman All Parties Hurriyat Conference, Syed Ali Geelani on Thursday said that “instead of sponsoring or staging election drama, Indian authorities need to respect the aspirations of people and resolve Kashmir issue.”
This was stated in a press statement issued by party spokesperson.
Stressing authorities to cancel by-election to parliament, he said “It is required to make an end to incessant bloodshed and instead seek people’s mandate with respect to political destiny of state through referendum.”
Geelani said that: “People in Kashmir are peace loving and believe in mutual harmony and brotherhood, however instead of addressing their issues, Indian authorities are resorting to brute force against people.”
“it is beyond doubt and has been proved that authorities are pursuing colonial and autocratic dogma. Their rhetoric about being a great democracy in world proved hoax and farce with respect to Kashmir,” he said.
