Srinagar : Hundreds joined today protest march led by AIP President Er. Rasheed in Handwara against the Pulwama killings.
Protesters carrying placards, black flags and banners took their march through various markets of Handwara amid slogans against Pulwama killings.
In an statement to VMS while addressing the gathering Er. Rasheed said Nobody should underestimate the sacrifices of Kashmiris especially people of Kupwara who have sacrificed everything for the resolution of Kashmir dispute and are facing worst at the hands of security agencies every day.
“No one has a right to sell the sacrifices of Heroes of Kupwara and any such move will be resisted by tooth and nail. How is it possible that people of Kupwara will not feel the pain of their brothers in Pulwama as Kupwara has been the gateway of sufferings” Said Er rasheed.
He further said that New Delhi is seeing every Kashmiri as its enemy. Adding that “Nobody believes in fake condolences and fake investigations’.
Turming the special operation procedure as ‘mere eyewash’ he said “The so called SOP is nothing but just an eye wash to give an impression that security forces are following a procedure”. “As if blinding and jailing Kashmiris was not enough, men in uniform have crossed all moralities to butcher Kashmiris. Army is killing Kashmiris only for being Muslims and the claims of having a secular, tolerant and disciplined character are false”.
While taking a dig at J&K police, MLA Langate said that J&K Police is unfortunately reinforcing New Delhi’s terror and the saner voices in JKP have been forced to shut their mouth.
Molvi Shabir Rather also addressed the gathering and urged New Delhi not to underestimate the will of Kashmiris and said that resolution to Kashmir issue is unavoidable.
On the occasion protesters took a pledge to follow all those sensible voices who will represent sentiments, aspirations and sacrifices of Kashmiris.(VMS)
