‘Govt. keeps us in dark, land identified for Sainik, Pandit colonies’
Says it is a ‘Do or die like’ situation for Kashmiris
Srinagar | May 31 : Calling for peaceful protests on Friday and hoisting of black flags across Valley against the “deceitful tactics” of the government Chairman Hurriyat Conference (M) Syed Ali Geelani today said that the authorities in an insensible way has identified the lands in Budgam, Baramulla and Bandipora districts for the purpose of establishing the proposed Sainik and Pandit colonies.
In a statement issued here, he said the government is trying to keep the public in dark about the issue and are spreading lies in this regard.
Regarding the creation of separate colonies for retired Indian army personals and the Kashmiri Pandits, Geelani cautioned that if Mehbooba Mufti government will not stop to follow the RSS agendas in Jammu & Kashmir and doesn’t shun its proposal of Sainik and Pandit colonies, the pro-freedom leadership will jointly start a protest campaign against this and will resist the aggressive policies of the Sangh Parivar at any cost.
While strongly condemning the continuous imprisonment of Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, Yasin Malik, Shabir Ahmad Shah, Nayeem Ahmad Khan, Altaf Ahmad Shah, Ayaz Akbar and Yasmin Raja since last seven days, Geelani said that Mehbooba Mufti and her RSS colleagues are trapped in a misunderstanding that by caging the pro-freedom leadership, they will succeed in implementing the Nagpur agendas in Kashmir and they will face no resistance.
He said that every Kashmiri understands that the Sangh Parivar with the help of PDP have started a dangerous war against their existence, individuality and their Muslim identity.
“Any carelessness on the part of Kashmiris at this crucial time will have serious consequences and they will become strangers in their own land. While lashing out at the PDP ministers and MLAs,” Geelani said, adding, they are becoming the facilitators of the RSS and the Sangh Parivar and are earning a tag of traitors for themselves and for their families for the few days of power.
“If any of them would have their conscience alive, he would have definitely asked his woman president that where is she taking them and what secret deal has she signed with Ram Madhav? He said that a few ‘Ikhwani’ type ministers of PDP are fully aware of the secret pacts with the Sangh Parivar and others are just following the orders and are playing a role of ‘silent spectators’,” Geelani said that the RSS and the Sangh Parivar can’t become friends of anybody particularly with Muslims and that too a Kashmiri.
Geelani said that it is the “Do or Die” like situation for the Kashmiri nation and they can’t effort to ignore it in any way. (PTK)
