Srinagar, August 3: Expressing serious concern over the deteriorating human rights situation in Kahmir, the acting president of Democratic Freedom Party, M Abdullah Tari has said that India was trying to suppress Kashmiriris’ mass movement by using its military might.
Citing the recent killings of innocent civilians by Indian troops across the valley Tari said that India has declared a war against people of Kashmir. Terming it as worst kind of state-terrorism he said that India has imposed undue restrictions on print and electronic media to conceal the heinous crime that it has inflicted upon the people of Kashmir.
Referring to Indian home minister P Chidambaram's statement he said that the so-called secret diplomacy was no solution to Kashmir issue. He said that Kashmir was an issue of right to self-determination that was guaranteed to them by the world community besides the leadership of India. He said that during his historical speech at Lal Chowk Srinagar the Indian premier Jawahar Lal Nehru had also promised the people of Kashmir that they would be given the right to choose their political destiny. He regrettably noted that 63-years down the lane India did not fulfill this promise.
He said that the basic purpose of Kashmiris’ ongoing struggle was to pressurize India to honour the commitments that it made with the people of Kashmir. To achieve this pledged right, the right to self-determination Tari pointed out that the DFP chief Shabir Ahmed Shah had to spent half of his life in Indian jails.
Expressing solidarity with the people whose near and dear ones were killed during recent wave of violence in Kashmir, the DFP secretary general said that the Kashmiris’ struggle was an indigenous mass movement and no one would be allowed to play with the sentiments of the people of Kashmir who have rendered matchless sacrifices during the past 21 years long resistance movement.
He maintained that secret-talks would not bring any change on ground saying that India should come forward with a positive mindset to get the dispute resolved peacefully. Instead of current-traditional rhetoric, he said that India should change its policy on Kashmir by taking into account the ground reality.
Meanwhile, vice president of DFP Mehmood Ahmed Saghar has condemned in strong terms the use of brute force against innocent civilians by Indian troops. Terming it as violation of human rights he appealed the world HR bodies to take cognizance of Indian high-headedness.
