Holding Shiekh Muhammad Abdullah and other pro-India leaders responsible for the killing of “five lakh” Muslims in Jammu on November 6, 1947, Chairman All Parties Hurriyat Conference (G) Syed Ali Shah Geelani said Maharaja Hari Singh was not the only person responsible for the anti-Muslim riots but the leadership including Shiekh Abdullah who acted as “an agent of India” was to blame for the pogrom.
Geelani was speaking at a seminar organised by Muslim League to remember Jammu martyrs of November 6, 1947.
Geelani said, “It is very important for the people of State to remember the past as it gives us real picture who is the real enemy of the Kashmiris. Our biggest fault was that we tried our so-called leaders more than once and the result is our blood stained history which is full of martyrs and innocent freedom lovers who were slaughtered by the enemy fully supported by these traitors. It became evident in 1938 when Shiekh converted Muslim Conference into National Conference for his lust for power and for so-called secularism.”
He said that the people of Jammu Kashmir are equally responsible for the slavery, miseries and hardships. “Ignorance, our own deeds and continuing family rule are some of the traits of the unfortunate nation.”
“Congress, National Conference, PDP and other Indian agents have been befooling masses for long and roads, buildings and rail links cannot be taken as an alternative to freedom. Even British during their rule in India built Infrastructure for the Indians and the largest railway link, parliament house and other monuments were built by them but it does not mean Indians were accepting their occupation. The leaders of these parties act as traitors and agents. Any nation does not sell themselves for mere roads, opening of bus service between two parts of Kashmir and exchanging pleasantries,” said Geelani.
Taking a dig at Gen Pervez Musharraf, Geelani said, “Stooges like present leaders of Pakistan will not succeed in their activities. Musharraf only for the Supreme Court ruling, which he suspected will end his rule, put Pakistan under emergency. He is working on the behest of his western and American godfathers. Unfortunately, some elements in Kashmir are congratulating Musharraf for his misdeeds.” He ridiculed the statement of Farooq Abdullah about Pakistan and said, “His crocodile tears will not affect the people of the State anymore. Whole of Jammu Kashmir is with Pakistan and traitors do not have to poke their noses (into Pak affairs).’’
Dukhtran-e-Millat supremo, Asiya Andrabi also addressed the gathering. She held National Conference and its leader Shiekh Muhammad Adullah responsible for the massacres particularly Jammu massacre.
“Shiekh Abdullah sold Kashmir to India and Congress, BJP and PDP are doing the same,” She said and warned people not to attend any government functions, parties and other activities. It will be treason with the holy blood of the martyrs.
