Srinagar: Chairperson of Dukhtaran-e-Millat, Syedah Aasiyeh Andrabi, on Saturday reiterated call for complete boycott of parliamentary election scheduled on April 9 in Srinagar.
In a statement, Andrabi said that the pro-resistance Muslims, as a mark of respect and acknowledgement of the supreme sacrifices given by lakhs of Kashmiri people, shouldn’t even take a single step towards polling booths on Sunday. “It is important to observe complete boycott so that the world comes to know that we don’t want to stay with India and no matter how costly it is, we won’t participate in a practice which is completely un-Islamic,” she said.
She urged the youth to play Islamic and pro-movement songs on the loudspeakers of Masjids.
Further, Andrabi said, people of Jammu and Kashmir must remember that the Kashmir movement is an unfinished agenda of partition of sub-continent. “It was our right, as per the provisions of partition, that JK becomes a part of Pakistan because Muslims were in majority here,” she said.
“Being a Muslim-majority nation we belong to Pakistan but we haven’t been given this right by India,” she said.
She said that it is because of being Muslims that JK should be a part of Pakistan. “Islam is the ideology on which Pakistan has been formed and it is because of Islam that we belong to that country,” she said.
“If Muslims establish a Masjid, it becomes the duty of every Muslim to safeguard that Masjid. Those who pray inside that Masjid may be good or may be bad but it doesn’t mean that the Masjid should be damaged because people praying there don’t adhere to the teachings of Islam as has been desired by Allah SWT. Good or bad, all Muslims must safeguard the Masjid at all costs,” she said.
“Those who don’t adhere to the teachings completely are counselled by the pious and scholarly Imaams and not thrown out of the Masjid,” she added
