Hurriyat patriarch Syed Ali Geelani on Sunday termed the unionist politicians as “real enemies” of people of Jammu & Kashmir.
“Their crimes against their own people are so heinous that they will be never forgiven and forgotten for that,” ailing Geelani said in a statement issued late early this evening.
“These people (unionist politicians) are responsible for the miseries and bloodshed of the Jammu & Kashmiri people and they are playing an important role in strengthening the Indian occupation in the state. The day has come when they will be held accountable for their sins and crimes which they have committed against the humanity,” the octogenarian leader said.
Geelani, who remains under continuous house detention, said, “the pro-Indian politicians had accepted the psychological slavery of the Indian rulers since 1947 that is why they every time play a selfish role whenever the people of Jammu & Kashmir raise their voices against the Indian military occupation and use the uprising and the pro-freedom sentiments to gain power.”
Geelani said that these “traitors” include a tall man of this nation and “without any fear to regret, I will say that all the bloodshed, killings and rapes that took place in this region after 1947 are credited to this person who betrayed the simple people of Kashmir, exploited their sentiments by showing them the Pakistani salt and the green hankie and led them to hell instead of heaven. It has been the biggest tragedy of our history”.
“But the worst tragedy is that the people who were betrayed showed extreme political immaturity and welcomed the same person with open arms who sold their future for his personal interests,” he said.
The pro-freedom leader added that “his legacy of treason
is now carried forward by “today’s loyalists of India who are riding our backs with the backing of 10 lakh Indian armed forces”.
“In the hunger of power, these people have left the entire nation at the mercy of the merciless and cunning Indian forces who brutally kill our innocent children in the broad day light,” he said.
Geelani asked the Unionist politicians that how long will they “hide behind the Indian forces?” “They will have to pay price for their evil deeds?”
Reacting to the statement of Union Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, V K Singh, that “Kashmiris are as patriots as other Indian people”, Geelani said, “the Kashmiri people have never accepted India in the past and nor will they do it in future.”
“The status of India in the eyes of the majority population of Jammu & Kashmir is of an aggressor and oppressor,” Geelani asserted.
He questioned Singh that “if you people are so confident then why are you afraid of holding of plebiscite in Jammu & Kashmir which has been promised by the Indian leadership to Kashmiris at national as well as International forums? Why are you so scared of facing the people’s verdict?”
