The valley looks like a “concentration camp” where the civil population is manned by the forces and every civilized law being blatantly violated under the shade of some black and draconian laws in force which have virtually abrogated all the fundamental freedom of the common masses.
The spokesman in a statement said that establishment has devised a policy to “harass, intimidate and subjugate” the people under one pretext or the other thereby depriving them from living a dignified life according to their choice and aspirations.
The civilized legal system in vogue in other parts of the globe outside the valley provide a proper safeguard to the fundamental human rights which are considered to be inalienable and unassailable but here the people have no freedom available to them except that which the security establishment allow them to enjoy.
The draconian laws in force here are framed in such a way that even the fundamental rights of the people stand suspended and seem to be subject to the conditions laid down under these inhuman, undemocratic emergency laws like Public Safety Act (PSA), Armed Special Forces Powers Act (AFSPA), Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA). Here every activity is declared as unlawful which goes against the policies of the forces agencies, adding that scores of innocent youth and pro-freedom leaders including Dukhtaran-e-Millat chief Asiya Andrabi and her two colleagues Nahida Nasreen and Fehmeeda Sofi stand transferred to Tihar jail.
Jama’at-e-Islami Jammu and Kashmir while expressing its concern over the suppressive government policies against the people of Kashmir, demands unconditional shifting of all Kashmiri detenues to the jails of the valley from Jammu and outside Jammu and Kashmir and initiating the process of trial of the cases against them in the local courts instead of the NIA or Delhi courts in the interest of justice. Further, Jama’at demands the withdrawal of the charge sheet filed against seven Kashmiri students in a Delhi court for upholding the basic principles of democracy.
