The Chairman of Ummat e Islami and the Mirwaiz of South Kashmir, Qazi Ahmed Yasir who has been under detention for the past 51 days in P.s Sadr, Islamabad has strongly reacted to the barbaric approach of the Indian State. He said that the Indian State is closing the doors to dialogue by dubbing every other person as Pakistan backed element.
In a press statement issued to PTK, Qazi Yasir said that moreover the state government is adding fuel to the fire by making irresponsive and instigative statements. He asked the Indian state to initiate a credible dialogue process with the Pakistan state taking on board the main stakeholders of the dispute, Kashmiris. He said but Indian state is murdering innocent Kashmiris, torturing them and dialogue cannot be held in such conditions. Track 2 dialogues, seminars, back channel dialogues or anything of that sort is not the requirement of the time. “We well know what happened to the report of interlocutors in 2010” he said. Mirwaiz Yasir said, it is time for India to end the deadlock and stop committing crimes against Humanity in Kashmir, only then we can initiate a dialogue process.
The chairman of Ummat e Islami, Mirwaiz Qazi Yasir said that the members of Ummat e Islami have been harassed by the law enforcers. The member of Youth UeI has been detained for the second time under PSA. Rouf Ahmed who is the sole bread earner for his family has a son less than 2 years old, perhaps Rouf being booked under PSA, puts a Question mark on the claim “understanding the pain of a mother” . He added that the house of the organizer of Ummat e Islami was raided in the middle of the night, the window panes of the house were broken, and inmates threatened which deserves to be condemned. Meanwhile the members of religious wing Moulana Irshad Ahmed Attari, Moulana Nisar Ahmed Nayeemi have been detained frequently by the Police for addressing people in pro Freedom rallies throughout Southern Kashmir.
He responded sharply to the propaganda in the name of 5% and 95%. Mirwaiz Qazi Yasir said that the state government is using the sympathy card to earn the lost trust of people which is next to impossible. Mirwaiz Yasir said The Once claimed fortress of PDP is now the epicenter of the ongoing uprising that “their representative” wants to be dubbed as instigation by a few decisive elements. Mirwaiz Yasir said one thing is evident though, be it the 5% or the 95% everyone is treated inhumanely with brutality. He said that the Indian Government has never allowed space for “peaceful” dissent which is evident when they disallow resistance leadership to move out and cage them. Mirwaiz Yasir said that the young generation has psychologically been affected and learnt that every protest is dealt in the same manner which will just add to the “5%”. He condemned the thwarting of peaceful rally by police at Rampura, Islamabad and said that forces had used brute force against people of the village and imposed an undeclared curfew in the area. Mirwaiz Yasir said that from the past few days we have all seen how peaceful rallies have been dealt with by the State. He said the incompetent PDP government has just added to the woes of people by conducting more raids especially during the nights. Quoting one example of Ishfaq Ahmed of Ashjipora Islamabad, he said, the house was raided many a times and then his brother was arrested in his stead. “He has been in the illegal custody for the past 6 days which is a sheer provocation and is not the only incident of this kind” Mirwaiz Yasir said.
He condemned the arrests of Advocate Babar of Doda, other pro resistance activists, Pro Freedom youth and asked people to stand against the arrest of the youth. He at last, paid tributes to all those martyrs whose killing was justified by the state Government in the name of “Milk and Biscuit” He also expressed sympathy with the families of the killed.
