The Democratic Freedom Party (DFP) Monday said the mainstream parties are trying to gain political mileage out of the situation that has been created in the aftermath of Afzal Guru’s hanging.
“The political parties of the state are trying to outdo each other by playing politics over the issue. While the pro-freedom groups have been put under jails,” DFP said in a statement.
However, the party expressed satisfaction over the fact ‘that the pro-independence people are well aware about who is their friend and who is their enemy’.
DFP strongly condemned the continuous detention of their party chairman Shabir Ahmad Shah who was arrested from his house on the night of February 9 and has been lodged in the central jail since then.
Paying glowing tributes to Afzal Guru, DFP said that the martyr laid down his life for the Kashmiri people who have been oppressed by the authorities.
“It is deeply hurting that Guru was made a scapegoat in between the politics between Congress and National conference here and between the ruling parties and the opposition in Delhi. DFP chairman had been deeply hurt by the dirty politics played by the politicians that took away the life of Afzal Guru”, the statement added.
According to the statement, the DFP chairman stressed upon the fact that people should know the difference between so called democracy that exists only in name and the real democracy.
“He always believed in a healthy democracy and not in false democracy. The separatist leadership should understand that to fight the fake democracy of India they lay an example of democracy themselves, so that people should completely understand the difference between the fake and a real democracy,” the statement said.
“Our party chairman always feared the fake democracy of India and the present circumstances have proved him right by the dirty politics played by the authorities”, it added.
