Extending full support to the peoples uprising led by the united resistance leadership, the corporate Kashmir Tuesday said it was willing to sacrifice the business but that atrocities, which have evolved into worst ever humanitarian crises “unleashed by the government forces was intolerable”.

The business fraternity said Kashmir was a dispute and needs to be resolved for sustainable peace in the subcontinent.

Business fraternity representing various forums including the Kashmir Traders and Manufacturers Federation led by President Muhammad Yasin Khan and the KEA district presidents held a joint meeting with their counterparts from other forums to unanimously resolve full support to the peaceful agitation program as called by the separatist leadership, a statement issued by KTMF said this afternoon.

The KEA district presidents of Baramulla, Shopian, Pulwama, Ganderbal, Handwara, Sopore, Tral, Islamabad, Kulgam, Bandipora, Budgam and Srinagar were present on the occasion while others forums were represented by heads of Kashmir Goods Transport & Companies Association, All Kashmir Transporters Welfare Association, Kashmir Chemists & Drugs Association, J&K Contractors Coordination Committee, Kashmir Floor Mills Association and Kashmir Minerals & Lessee Association.

The meeting resolved that “atrocities unleashed on the people of Kashmir by the Mehbooba Mufti led government were  intolerable to any human society and that a generation was being lost to brutalities made by the government”.

Referring to the killing of at least 58 unarmed civilians and injuries to over 6000 others, Khan said: “From four-year-old schoolgirl Insha of Shopian who lost her vision, hundreds of people have lost eyesight, while others have been badly wounded by the deadly pellet guns, which even Israel doesn’t use in Palestine.”

“We are willing to sacrifice our business for the cause of solution to Kashmir but the atrocities as being unleashed by the forces is intolerable,” he said.

Khan, who also heads his faction of Kashmir Economic Alliance, said what is more pinching that instead of “feeling guilty of the atrocities the PDP-led government has pampered the trigger-friendly forces”.

“The kind of support the state government offered to murder accused Dy SP should serve an eye-opener that this coalition is for atrocities and supports every oppressor,” Khan said.

Taking at dig at the Chief Minister, he said it was unfortunate that Ms Mehbooba on reaching New Delhi termed the bloodbath in Kashmir as “Halla Gulla” only to “keep her masters in Nagpur happy”.

Referring to the recent killing of ATM guard in Srinagar and another biker in Islamabad, Khan said, “there was visible design in the pattern of killings.”

“This is an attempt to scare the people but let the government understand that we are a resilient nation,” Khan said.

Stressing that   unity was need of the hour, he asked the people to give no heed to rumours which the agencies are spreading to create wedge.

The meeting asked the people not to unnecessarily drive any vehicles during the Hartal spell and the relaxation period should be equally availed for shopping and other necessary work.

The KTMF said the markets would strictly adhere to the relaxation calendar.
