Terming the strict restrictions on Friday throughout the valley as interference in religious affairs, Hurriyat (g) Spokesman said that occupying forces always deprive the people, of their basic and fundamental rights including those concerned with their religion and faith.
“Preventing and putting curbs on Friday prayers in most of the major Mosques of valley is worst kind of human rights violation. These Mosques are waiting for their Nimaziz for the last 4-5 weeks, but the puppet rulers planted by India have lost their moral and ethical values,” Hurriyat (g) spokesperson said.
While commenting on the some Sumo and auto rickshaw drivers and traders in uptown area of Srinagar defying the joint resistance programs, spokesman said that in case these people have some problem or face any hardship, they should locally contact the representatives of their Mohalla Committee, but requested them “not to be the part of the Indian and its local collaborators game plan to sabotage the ongoing struggle for right to self-determination.” He further said whosoever tries to do so will be treated as a traitor and dealt with accordingly.
He further said that this place has turned into a ‘large garrison’ where people can’t express themselves even in tough times. “Gagging the voice of oppressed is the instrument always used by occupation forces as they only know the language of force and repression to calm and silence the just voice,” he said.
Referring to the massive arrests, atrocities, curbs on late traffic and trade activities especially in Sopore, Baramulla, Handwara, Kupwara, spokesman termed it as tactics to pressurize and harass the people so that they will not support the current movement.
Hurriyat (G) spokesperson appealed the people especially the youth to remain steadfast and jointly protest against these police raids and arrests.
