Srinagar january 1-2013 : After being put under house arrest for some days after the Pulwama firing incident, Democratic Freedom Party Chairman Shabir Ahmad Shah Tuesday succeeded in reaching to Petipura Pulwama. 
Shah paid glowing tributes to Shaheed Imtiyaz Ahmad and expressed his sympathy with the bereaved family. Along with the party workers Islamic political Party Chairman Muhammad Yusuf Naqash was also with the DFP chairman. 
After that Shabir Ahmad Shah tried to go to Shopian where he was to meet the injured people but was confronted by the armed forces near Lassipora and arrested. 
Earlier addressing the people in Petipora, Shah said that the double standards of the government has been exposed. “In Delhi the protestors are being confronted with the water cannons but in the valley the people protesting the injustices being meted to them are showered with bullets by the armed forces,” he said. 
He said that the democracy and the Nazism cannot go together. “It is double standards that the authorities talk of democracy but they flow the practical way of Nazism. It has been proved that the powerful cannot take the smaller powers forgranted and make them slaves forever.” he said. 
It has been proved by the retreat of Russia from Afghanistan, US from Iraq and now they are mulling to withdrawal from the Afghanistan. He said that the US was trying to give the armed forces struggle the colour of democracy but that has failed miserably and are now about to withdraw from the Afghanistan. 
“The condition of the armed forces will be meted with the same fate in India,” he added. 
Criticizing the policies of the oppressors he said these tactics have led to the emergence of the militant organizations. “If the powerful forces will respect the smaller forces then the militant forces will automatically come to an end. The emergence of the militancy at the world level is because of the denying of the basic rights by the powerful forces,” he added. 
Shah also said that the freedom struggle is not an issue of any single person but of the nation as a whole. “When we talk of the peaceful solution of Kashmir issue, it is the solution as per the aspirations of the people of the valley.”
He also blamed the Indian politicians that they are using the armed forces for suppressing the voice of the people but on the other hand they are talking of the dialogue process. 
“The result of this double standard is before the people that the puppet governments are coming and going but the voices of the people were not given any regard. When the sacrifices offered by the people put the Kashmir issue at the international level, it is now difficult to suppress the voices of the people,” he said. 
Shah said that like the people in Arab and Afro-Asia are breathing in the freedom, the dawn of freedom will also reach to the valley in near future. The conscious people of the valley are looking towards the developments at the international level where the tyrant leaders have been pushed to the ground. “The tyrant rulers are trying to suppress these voices but we are hopeful that they will not succeed in their evil designs,” he said. 
Meanwhile DFP has strongly criticized the continuous arrest of their Chairman and said that the house arrest and the detention of their chairman in 2012 has reached to about 9 months.
