Calling it an act of tyranny, the Jamaat e Islami Jammu and Kashmir has strongly condemned the hanging of Afzal Guru.
“The hanging of Muhammad Afzal Guru in Tihar Jail mysteriously is an expression of extreme despotism and tyranny by the Government of India which Jamaat e Islami vehemently condemns considering it an open oppression against the people of J&K. This action has deeply hurt the sentiments of more than 1 crore Kashmiri people in particular the Muslim population”, the Jamaat spokesperson advocate Zahid Ali said in a statement issued here.
The Jamaat has hit out at Congress party for having committed such acts against Kashmiris on consistent basis since 1947.
“In order to achieve its nefarious political designs, the party holding the reigns of power in Delhi has always been committing such tactical tyrannical actions since 1947 whenever this party seemed to lose its power. This party has always played frauds upon the people of India and in particular the Muslim community was made a scapegoat. Further by these deceitful tactics they want to frighten the people away from seeking or demanding the fulfillment of the promises made to them”, reads the statement.
“ The hanging of Muhammad Afzal Guru also carries a sinister design to create an atmosphere of fear and chaos amongst the Kashmiri people so as to deter them from demanding their usurped right of self determination. But the history is a witness to the fact that the tyrants and the despotic powers always failed in their viscous design and ultimately ha d to bow before the right”, it added.
Jamaat held the state government responsible for the hanging and accused it of becoming a mute spectator in the issue.
“The local government is equally responsible in this tyranny by becoming a mute spectator and as such supporting this anti-Kashmiri despotic act. The present ruling party had also supported the Delhi regime when shaheed Muhammad Maqbool Bhat was put to gallows. This party has learnt no lesson from Punjab govt. which strongly protested along with the Punjabi people against an attempt by the govt. of India to hang one of the death convicts in Beant Singh’s murder case and thereby forced it to drop its idea”, the statement said.
The Jamaat has also strongly condemned the imposition of curfew in the valley and use of force against the innocent protestors in which a number of innocent people got injured.
