Srinagar
Hurriyat Conference led Mirwaiz Umar Farooq has condemned the continuous imposition of curfew and restrictions in old city and some other areas of Srinagar since past three days.
In a statement spokesman said “converting the entire region into a military fortress and caging lakhs of people in their own homes causing them great distress and hardships is ultimate form of state highhandedness.
Hurriyat (M) in a statement castigated the government for “arbitrary and illegal confinement of its Chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, senior resistance leader Syed Ali Geelani in their own homes while detaining Muhammad Yasin Malik at central jail stating that such moves defy all claims to democracy and are simply revengeful.”
“The complete response evoked to the strike call of Joint Resistance Leadership on the Indian Home Minister’s visit to Kashmir has once again proved that Kashmir is not a law and order issue or an internal matter of Delhi but it is human and political issue which needs to be resolved by accepting its disputed nature and giving the people their promised right to self-determination, said spokesman.
While paying tributes to three militants killed in Sopore and Shopian encounter Shahid Ahmed Sheikh, Tariq Ahmed Bhat and Altaf Ahmed, spokesman said the “Kashmiri youth are being sadly being pushed to the wall due to the continued oppression and military approach of New Delhi in dealing with the Kashmir issue forcing young and educated lot to pick up arms as a means of resistance.”
