Srinagar, October 30 (KNO) : Joint Resistance Leadership (JRL) comprising Syed Ali Geelani, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and Muhammad Yasin Malik on Tuesday held a meeting at Hyderpora residence of Syed Ali Geelani where they had a thorough discussion over the prevailing situation in Kashmir, a statement issued by the leadership said. According to a statement issued to KNO, JRL strongly condemned what they termed as ‘wide-scale bloodshed’, arrest spree of youth, thrashing of residents during CASO and damaging property at large scale across the length and breadth of Kashmir by the forces present in the Valley. The trio said that “the forces have unleashed a naked aggression against the people of Kashmir where youth are being selectively killed and property damaged under a sinister design to consolidate the grip of occupation over Jammu & Kashmir by New Delhi.” “The suppression has reached a stage where it has become unbearable for the population which cannot silently tolerate it further,” they said. In order to defeat these ‘cruel designs’ of New-Delhi, the trio has decided to have wide-ranging consultations with all factions of the society including political organizations, religious organizations, traders, transporters, employees, academicians, civil society and others to frame a comprehensive joint strategy and present it before the people. The leaders termed the blowing up of houses with explosive material, thrashing of relatives including women of even slain armed youth, merciless beating of people during CASO’s and damaging property including the apple and other fruit orchards as ‘crimes against humanity committed by the forces’.They urged international community to take serious note of the events unfolding in the pain-stricken Kashmir. Strongly denouncing these ‘inhuman acts’, JRL said “people of Kashmir, especially people living in south Kashmir have completely been left at the mercy of the forces, who have made the life of common citizens hell by not even allowing them to go to their paddy fields and orchards to reap the crops.”The trio said that “it is so unfortunate that whosoever tries to raise a voice against the brutality of forces, is silenced either by ruthless torture or through other means of repression.”“Forces have turned Kashmir into a killing field where innocent people including women are killed with immunity anytime, anywhere,” they said, adding that “Army Chief Bipin Rawat’s recent statement has given further encouragement to the men in uniform to increase brutality and killing against Kashmiris besides indulging in widespread vandalism to prevent/choke the voice of protest against these brutalities.”“While forces are resorting to the worst human rights violations against the people of Kashmir unabatedly, the electronic media leaves no stone unturned to project the Kashmir situation in such a color that appears to justify the brutality of the forces against the Kashmiris,” they said. The JRL strongly condemned the crackdown on the resistance leadership, stating that most of the resistance leaders have been booked under PSA and lodged in jails outside the J&K State which reflects the dictatorial and authoritarian approach of New Delhi to muzzle the voice and rights of the people through a naked display of its military might.They said “those who complete their term under PSA, are even slapped with second and third PSA just to ensure their illegal and continues detention. The number of political prisoners of Kashmir is increasing with every passing day as they are not even produced before the respective courts for trial.” “Despite ultimate repression being unleashed across Kashmir, the resistance leadership and every single citizen of Kashmir is committed to their birth right, the right to self determination and for that the ongoing struggle will continue at all levels,” JRL said.’(KNO)
