Fulfill promises made to Kashmiris, Er Rasheed urges India-Pak
Srinagar: AIP President, Er Rasheed Saturday urged New Delhi and Islamabad not to make Kashmir a battlefield and asked them to fulfill the promises made with Kashmiris at United Nations and other places from time to time.
He was addressing people at martyrs’ graveyard Naqshbandi Sahab Srinagar to pay tributes to martyrs’ of 13 July 1931.
Rasheed, addressing a gathering at the graveyard, asked New Delhi not to forget that Jawahar Lal Nehru was India’s Prime Minister “and commitments made by him need to be fulfilled and respected,”.
Reacting on Governor’s absence at martyrs’ graveyard, he said that Governor Malik was “duty bound to visit the martyr’s graveyard”.
“It is horrible that no one from BJP turned up to the place,” he added.
“Those feeling satisfied for the reason that no strike call was given in Kashmir on Amit Shah’s visit must not forget that it was a goodwill gesture from people of Kashmir and should not be seen as their weakness,” an AIP spokesman quoted Rasheed as saying.
Rasheed further added that the real heirs of martyrs of 13 July were common Kashmiris particularly the people of downtown Srinagar who had sacrificed everything.
“The martyrs of 13 July had laid down their lives for honour and dignity of people of J&K but that dream is still a dream. “From Maharaja to Satyapal Malik’s rule Kashmiris have seen nothing except miseries and humiliations,” Rasheed said.
