Hurriyat(M) said that the trigger-happy and blood-thirsty government forces on Friday evening by use of killer pellets martyred the 12-year-old student, Junaid Ahmad Aakhoon of Saidpora, Eidgah snatching away the only son of his parents and the only brother of three sisters.On the funeral procession of Junaid to Eidgah, the cantankerous government forces rained tear smoke shells and pellets and bullets at them, leaving dozens of civilians injured. This brought back painful memories of May 21, 1990 when Kashmir’s beloved leader Mirwaiz Moulvi Muhammad Farooq’s funeral procession was fired at in a similar way, resulting in the killings of 70 mourners and injuries to hundreds of others. For the subjugated people of Kashmir history of oppression and suffering keeps repeating itself each day.In a statement issued to KNS, Hurriyat (M) said though the All Party delegation of Indian parliamentarians who visited Kashmir had strongly recommended to Government of India, In clear terms that the use of lethal pellet guns, which has left thousands of Kashmirisinjured, blinded, maimed and handicapped, should be bannedforthwith yet the government ofthe day at war with the people finds that while it is not fit to be used on animals it is fit to be used on defiant Kashmiri's.The statement condemned the PDP-BJP coalition government for prohibiting mourners from carrying out Muharam-ul-Haramprocessions. The spokesman said it is deplorable they while on one hand Muharram ul haram processions are prohibited on the other hand, right wing RSS activists are facilitated to take out " path Sanchalans "(march pasts)and "Shastra Pujans" in the entire Jammu division during dussehra celebrations.The amalgam expressed strongresentment and concern over the arrest spree across the state in which an unprecedented number of morethan 7000 people have been arrested so far. The spokesmansaid that in the last week alone more than 450 people have been arrested and shifted to jails outside Kashmir.Hurriyat Conference made it clear that by imposing curfew, restrictions and curbs and continuing the arrest spree, the government would not be able to break the will and resolve of either the resistance leadership or the people of Kashmir, who had decided not to rest until they get their just right to self determination.
