Geelani castigates leadership for inhuman approach towards Kashmir
Srinagar: By describing the situation in West Bengal “more volatile than that of Jammu and Kashmir, Prime Minister, Narendra Modi has “added salt to the wounds of the people of Kashmir” Hurriyat Conference (G) chairman, Syed Ali Geelani has said. Geelani asked the Prime Minister why West Bengal was not declared a disturbed territory.
“Why is it not handed over to Indian military? Why POTA, AFSPA, PSA, ULA like draconian laws are not implemented…?” he asked.
Geelani asked to ascertain the “grave violation of human rights situation in Jammu and Kashmir” and asked the Indian leadership not to “hoodwink its people and the international community by falsely proving Kashmir as a safe haven for human life”.
Accusing authorities of “suffering from arrogance of military might and unleashing a reign of terror by frequently using all methods of oppression and repression, he asked authorities to “shun arrogance and desist from comparing Jammu and Kashmir with any other state”.
He also condemned the proposed ban on the student community of Jammu and Kashmir to get admission in educational institutions of Pak administered Kashmir.
Geelani said that it was a “high risk for our student fraternity to get education in any part of India where they feel vulnerable to any untoward incident at any time”.
The Hurriyat leader castigated the leadership for “trampling the basic human rights such as right to get education, medical treatment, business, tourism and even right to perform religious obligation like Hajj by denying passport for the same purpose”.
Geelani demanded an early intervention by United Nation Organizations to help resolve the sensitive Kashmir issue in the larger interests of the peace and progress of the whole South Asia.
