India interested in military solution: Mirwaiz

Srinagar/May,26: Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, who heads All Parties Hurriyat Conference (M) is presently under house arrest from past over a week.
has said that statements coming out of New Delhi show that the Government of India has decided to openly admit that it has handed over Kashmir and the people of Kashmir to its army, granting them absolute authority and no accountability, to deal with Kashmiris as the army wills, with the sole objective that Kashmir remains part of India no matter if all Kashmiris have to be repressed, killed or humiliated for that.
Mirwaiz said that Arun Jaitleys remarks as defence minister of India while defending the action of the infamous Army Major, that in “war-like zones tackling the situation should be left to the Military as it requires military solutions” and the repeated anti-Kashmiri statements issued by the Army chief of India, this time wanting to instill fear in our hearts and wishing people of Kashmir had guns instead of stones in their hands so he could happily do as he pleased with them, actually inciting our youth to pick up arms and get killed, is appalling, to say the least, reflect that it is army which is in control here.
Mirwaiz said the level of arrogance of power and contempt exhibited towards the people of Kashmir, through such insensitive statements, no longer shocks the people of Kashmir, as we have come to realize that we are no longer considered human beings by the Indian state and that New Delhi is only interested in a military solution to a political and human issue.
Mirwaiz said: I would like to ask GOI that if the dispute could not be resolved through a Military solution over the last 70 years, when wars have been fought externally and severe repression unleashed internally upon Kashmiris in which lakhs of Kashmiris and thousands of Indians and Pakistanis have perished and continue to do so, as a means of dispute resolution ,how can it produce a different result now,when the next generation of Kashmiris raised under occupation is all the more determined to achieve their fundamental right to exercise their will?
Strongly condemning the Uri incident in which two unidentified elderly men were killed by the Indian forces and buried stealthily in the dead of night, while claiming them to be members of Pakistan BAT, Mirwaiz said it is the sad story of one-upmanship and Tit for Tat between India and Pakistan that is played out each day in Jammu & Kashmir and along the LoC and in which civilians get caught and suffer.
Mirwaiz said maturity and goodwill demand that all accept the reality of the problem at hand which is essentially political and human in nature, and resolve it as such i:e politically and in keeping with human values and principles. No amount of military might can solve the dispute.
Mirwaiz also paid tributes to the daughters of the nation young Aasiya and Neelofar of Shopian who were in an act of extreme barbarity raped and murdered on this day by the forces eight years ago.
