‘They are given chance to come and support truth’
The joint Hurriyat leadership led by Syed Ali Geelani, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and Yasin Malik today asked the local collaborators facilitating the “Indian oppression” of their own people, that their moment of reckoning and introspection, is over.
“Last week an appeal was made to whatever integrity is left in them, that since they could not stop loss of human life and mass killing of the people, they are given a chance to come back and for once support the truth,” the leaders said in a joint press statement.
They said the “brazenness and starkness of India’s aggressive colonial approach” towards the people of Kashmir becomes more and more evident by the day.
“But instead, they declared the death of their conscience, the bankruptcy of their values. The lust for chair is so overwhelming in them is in their predecessors, that not even the butchery of more than 50 young boys and girls, mostly teenagers and the blinding of over 150 people many among them little children is enough to shake them up. The pain and agony of thousands of those maimed and injured, falls on their deaf ears,” they said.
The joint leadership said that these collaborators have chosen to become deaf, dumb and blind to the suffering and torture of their people.
“In fact, watching the carnage as mute spectators they give their tacit support to it. They have simply stopped being human. And when they are out of “power’, they degrade further, exploiting the sacrifices of freedom seeking people for furthering their political ambition of assuming ‘power’,” they said.
Adding, as such, being the collaborators and loyalist abettors of India and its subversive agencies they are equal partners in the crime against people of Kashmir.
“Since 1947 these collaborators have provided a local face to India’s authoritarian rule which India exploits internationally to undermine our freedom struggle,” they said. (PTK)
