Chairman Hurriyat Conference (G) Syed Ali Geelani today said that issue of Jammu and Kashmir is an internationally recognized dispute and can’t be changed by these false statements.
In a statement issued here, he advised Indian politicians to shun their ego and stubbornness, accept the ground realities and come forward to address this basic issue according to the wishes and aspirations of people of Jammu and Kashmir.
Terming the Indian Finance Minister Arun Jaitley’s statement at Jammu far from reality and delivered from the mighty pedestal of arrogance, he said that it seems as if some uniformed person is terrorizing the common masses.
He further said that they have been striving for their basic right, right to self-determination, for the last 70 years and it is the armed forces, which disturb peace by unabated killings, maiming thousands and besieging whole population.
The Hurriyat chairman while accusing the politicians and the biased media of India to deliberately and dishonestly depriving their own people from the realistic and ground situation here in Kashmir.
“They prevent their population from knowing the words like territorial dispute, militarization and occupation. But they parrot them with their own chosen words as peace, ordinarily people, tourism and separatism. Referring to the repeated Pakistan bashing,” Geelani said.
He added it is not something new that India puts the blame of their failures on Pakistan as it has been always doing so.
“Indian politicians are suffering from Pakistan-phobia and they hold Pakistan responsible even for floods and plagues in their country. Hurriyat chairman further said that puppet government of Jammu and Kashmir claiming to be the representative of the people, whom they deceived by talking about Sadak, Bijli and Pani and made them to vote for them, are not existing anywhere on ground accept state run TV screens, delivering sermons of peace and morality.” (PTK)
