Srinagar: AIP President, Er Rasheed Friday termed as “shameful, distortion of facts and misleading” the recent remarks made by Vikramaditya Singh, Congress leader and grandson of late Maharaja Hari Singh.
Singh had called the July 13, 1931 martyrs as “rapists, criminals and looters” in his recent tweet prompting the concerned Chief Judicial Magistrate in Jammu to order investigation into the statement.
“Rather than spitting towards the sky, Mr Vikramaditya Singh must collect courage and apologise for the huge atrocities his grandfather committed on innocent Kashmiris,” Rasheed said in a statement.
He said that “Those praising the Maharaja must not forget that he had bulldozed basic rights of citizens, snatched their religious freedom and given liberty even to his chowkidars to murder and rape anyone they would wish”.
The Maharaja and his henchmen, Rasheed said, “would treat state like its concubine and their process of looting the people’s day-to-day edibles of common masses was far worse than today’s gangsters”.
He said that the martyrs of July 13, 1931 “will remain national heroes till doomsday and every year on 13thJuly Maharaja’s dark era will be condemned”. Rasheed further stated that “history can never forgive Hari Singh for the massacre of November 1947 in which lakhs of Muslims in Jammu province were killed”.
The “state sponsored genocide”, he said, “was the beginning of demographic changes in the state”.
“Before attributing anything to martyrs of 13th July 1931, neither Maharaja’s family nor anyone else must forget that whatsoever the entire subcontinent is facing today is because of Maharaja’s communal designs as he gifted J&K to New Delhi against the principles of partition according to which J&K should have become part of Pakistan not India,” he said.
The Maharaja preferred India over Pakistan “only for the reason that he was a Hindu and thus handed over entire state to flames of distraction” Rasheed alleged.
He said that the Maharaja’s decision to acceded with India and his “dubious understanding with late Sheikh Muhammad Abdullah created hatred among communities and also put the entire J&K in such a state of political uncertainty that not only the life of Kashmiris but that of entire subcontinent continues to be worse than the hell even after 72 years of instrument of accession”.
Rasheed added that history will always remember the martyrs of 13th July 1931 for their vision, conviction, commitment and courage to sacrifice their lives against Maharaja’s autocracy.
The martyrs created history by bringing awareness among masses that how much mighty any autocratic ruler may be, he has to surrender before the will of masses, he said.
Rasheed also asked NC and PDP to apologize for supporting Vikram Aditya Singh in recently concluded Parliamentary Elections. He added that Vikram Aditya Singh’s statement insulting martyrs had “exposed not only dual face of Congress but that of NC and PDP as well”.
Rasheed also condemned the denial of permission by cops to a top government official to take home the dead body of his father along the national highway.
He asked Divisional Commissioner Kashmir to “explain his position over the issue”.
Divisional Commissioner Kashmir, Baseer Ahmad Khan had recently stated that there was no blanket ban on the movement of civilian traffic on the highway.
Rasheed asked the Divisional Commissioner Kashmir to apologize “for becoming a false mouth piece of the administration to hide the colonial and anti-people measures of the Government”.
