Srinagar/Dec, 17: Hurriyat Conference(M) Chairman Mirwaiz Molvi Umar Farooq on Monday said government forces have become a killing machine adding that “the killing of 10 Kashmiri’s including 8th standard student ,young fathers,sons and brothers all common Kashmiri’s is deeply saddening”.
Before his detention by police for his attempt to take out a protest march to army cantonment Badami Bagh Srinagar outside his Nigeen residence Mirwaiz said after indiscriminate killings, civilians are branded as over ground workers and militants which is preposterous in itself ,Mirwaiz said what is worse is that this propaganda is used as a means of endorsing and justifying the civilians killings by armed forces !
Mirwaiz said Government of India (GoI) has overplayed the terrorist /pak proxy / instigators card and no is buying this narrative except some people in India at whom it is aimed for electoral gains as the world sees for itself the ever growing graph of atrocities and massacres of Kashmiri’s who are only asking for a just and peaceful resolution of the dispute .
Extending his Heartfelt condolences to the bereaved families, Mirwaiz said that we are not even allowed to express our sorrow and mourn these brutalities as our tormentors give us no space to grieve collectively and express our outrage and overwhelming emotions at these killings.
“We can only express our sorrow and outrage by stopping our daily business, as each day we lose valuable lives.Shut down is the only collective response left with us to express our condolences our sorrow our solidarity and our outrage to such atrocities. Every other space for expression of our emotions is barred by force.”,Mirwaiz lamented
Mirwaiz said after indiscriminate killings, barricading all modes of protest grieving and mourning , statements are issued that forces are always with the people of kashmir.How ironic is it . Threats are issued under the garb of being here for peace . Mirwaiz said people and leadership also want peace but not the peace of graveyard to which our people are being sent . We want peace of the living. lasting and durable peace we want an end to bloodshed on all sides and the only guarantee of that is a political resolution of the Kashmir dispute not a military solution .
