‘OIC Secretary-General’s statement on Kashmir is factual depiction of ground reality’
Srinagar, May 30 (KNO) : Expressing grief and anguish over yet another killing of civilian Sajjad Ahmed Paray in Shopian by the government forces, Hurriyat Conference (M) said that the use of brute force on protestors is highly undemocratic, unjustified and uncalled for.
Paying tributes to slain Sajad, the amalgam as per a statement issued to KNO said that such killing of Kashmiri’s and the iron-fist policy adopted by the rulers pushes Kashmiri educated youth to the path of armed resistance, leading to disastrous consequences for them.
Hurriyat (M) said that “use of live
ammunition including lethal pellets and tear gas shells on protestors in
South Kashmir’s Shopian district left over 200 youth seriously and
grievously injured while the use of pellets has left scores of youth
with grave injuries to their eyes which is highly condemnable.”
It
said that GoI through lakhs of its forces present in South Kashmir has
turned it into a military barrack where the blood of people is flowing
on a daily basis. Hurriyat said that the new Govt in India should change
this policy.
The amalgam termed the statement made by the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) Secretary-General Dr. Youfus Bin-Ahmed Al-Uthaman on Kashmir situation as the factual depiction of the ground reality and welcomed it. Hurriyat said that at the session held at Mecca, the OIC Secretary General while addressing the OIC led contact group on Kashmir, rightly stated that the ongoing struggle in Kashmir should not be linked with terrorism but be viewed as a legitimate struggle.
Hurriyat (M) while welcoming the OIC
Secretary General’s speech wherein he also stated that Kashmir issue was
on top of the OIC’s agenda and the forum was keen to see the dispute
being resolved in the backdrop of its historical perspective.
It
hailed the suggestion put forth by the OIC Secretary General wherein he
suggested India and Pakistan to start a sustained dialogue for the
resolution of Kashmir issue, something that Hurriyat has always been
advocating.(KNO)
