Responding to Omer Abdulla’s speech in Sopore yesterday, the Hurriyat Conference (G) rejected remarks made by the chief minister saying ‘it is sheer frustration and childish’.
According to a statement issued to KNS, a spokesman of the Hurriyat (G) has said it is the fundamental right of every citizen to aspire for his bright future and live with dignity. The National Conference leadership always bargained these dreams and aspirations of people for the lust of their power, said executive members.
While commenting over the then leadership striving for freedom under the banner of Plebiscite Front, said that leadership betrayed with people and bargained precocious and enormous sacrifices offered by nation with Delhi just for their political ambition and Chief Ministers’ post for their progeny, said executive members.

“The then leader of National Conference at several times in his speech at Hazratbal Shrine had pledged and promised that he would not betray with sacrifices and the freedom movement, however betrayed and just for lust of chair gave up his demand for plebiscite and consequently it were the people and state that had to suffer because of political instability that continues till date.
“In 1947, the leadership demonstrated their imprudence, invited Indian forces as blissful birds (Tairan Ababbeel) and during this period brought only destruction and devastation and it is more than 500 grave yards that stands testimony to this fact and speaks about the desperation that nation faces,” reads the statement issued to KNS.

It is impossible to suppress the freedom struggle by coercion and by offering privileges, said executive members in unanimous voice.
