Dukhtaran-e-Millat on Tuesday said that police raided the house of its party general secretary, Nahida Nasreen in the middle of the night and took her in custody.
In a statement, a DeM spokesperson said that a large contingent of police raided the residence of the party general secretary at around 12:00 AM during the intervening night of Monday-Tuesday. “After a brief questioning, the police party took away Nahida Nasreen Sahiba with them and lodged her in the Rambagh Women’s Police Station,” she said.
“This is shameless and cowardly act of police that they barged into a private property and then arrested a woman in the din of night,” she said.
She said that by caging the leadership, India cannot break the resolve of the cadres of DeM. “Dukhtaran-e-Millat is a caravan and a movement. By using force and by caging its leadership, this movement has not been and will never be crushed,” she added.
The spokesperson further said that India sustains its control over Jammu and Kashmir only by using its military might and by force. “What kind of a ‘government’ is this which has to cage the people of Kashmir and use extreme security measures to celebrate its Independence Day and to unfurl its flag here? India and it puppets rule Kashmir through the barrel of gun and nothing else,” she said.
On the other hand, she said, people of Kashmir, time-and-again, prove their love and aspiration for the resistance movement and the people associated with it. “The participation of lakhs of people in the funeral procession and later on, Nimaz-e-Jinazah of Shaheed Mohammad Yaseen Yatoo proves the fact the people of Kashmir have only one aspiration and only one aim i.e. freedom from illegal Indian occupation,” she added.
The spokesperson further said that the proposed rally by BJP and the slogans by a RSS-affiliated woman in Lal Chowk exposes how government was supporting, financing and facilitating anti-Kashmir protests by right-wing Hindu groups in Kashmir. “ When a Kashmiri holds a protests in demand of his genuine rights, Indian government, their puppets and the Indian Media lose no opportunity in dubbing them as ‘paid protestors’. The reality is that this Indian government and the puppets here pay such groups and bring them here under Z-security cover and then ask them to hold such protests here,” she added.
She said that Kashmiris will not allow or tolerate such sponsored pro-India protests in Kashmir. “ If these puppets and their masters are so sure that there are people in Kashmir who support India, then should have lifted restrictions only around Maisuma and then the whole world would have witnessed the fate of these pro india protests here".she added
