Kashmiris forced to witness deprived life on the eve of 26th January :Jamat

Srinagar, January 25 (Scoop News) – Jamaat-e-Islami J&K today alleged that on the eve of the Republic Day the Kashmiris were forced to witness the life deprived of all human rights and as such 26th January proves a burden for them.

In a statement, Zahid Ali,Spokesperson,Jamaat-e-Islami J&K said that On the eve of 26th January which is celebrated with great enthusiasm throughout India, the valley of Kashmir is changed into such a tight security region that it becomes too difficult for a common Kashmiri to step out of his home and most of the people consider it safer to remain inside their homes.

He said that the normal activities of life come to a halt and become dormant. In the name of ‘maintaining  law and order’ hundreds of people are kept under custody in the police stations and are made to ponder that 26th January is a day of deprivation of all their basic human rights rather than providing any guarantee to these rights,Zahid said.

Zahid in a statement said that the people here have been taught the meaning of democracy since 1947 quite contrary to the fact that a full chapter in the Indian Constitution deals with the basic human rights and guarantee their safety for everybody residing in India but the local administration violates these rights on this very republic day thereby depicting their total disregard for the constitution of India.

In other parts of the globe, the administration on such occasions, gives concessions even to most heinous offenders and the punishments of criminals are either remitted or reduced.

Jamaat-e-Isl;ami J&K, expresses its great concern over this attitude  of the govt towards the common people and describes it as anti-democratic and anti-people and urges the govt to give up this policy and release all political detainees languishing in various jails of J&K.

Meanwhile Jammu Kashmir Peoples League, a constituent of the All Parties Hurriyat Conference, today held an extraordinary meeting at district office Anantnag  appealed the people to observe tomorrow as black day.

While addressing in a meeting, senior APHC leader and vice Chairman of JKPL, Mukhtar Ahmad Waza said that the Kashmiris had been fighting for the right to self-determination. He also castigated the puppet administration for subjecting people to harassment and intimidation in the name of so-called security measures. He said that the whole Jammu and Kashmir had been turned into military garrison and people are being denied free movement

He urged India to take steps to create conducive atmosphere for resolving the Kashmir dispute through tripartite talks so that permanent peace could be established in South Asia. “Withdrawal of troops, repeal of black laws, and release of pro-freedom leaders and activists besides an end to the state terrorism in Kashmir can be helpful towards resolving the lingering dispute,” he added.
