Srinagar: Condemning the incident of firing by security forces on civilians at two separate locations in Pulwama district, both the factions of the Hurriyat Conference have called for a complete shut down on Monday, Dec 31.
Huriyat (M) has called for a complete strike on Monday 31st of December against this incident and asked people to protest peacefully demanding withdrawal of armed forces from towns and cities and repealing of the black laws.
In a statement issued here, the Hurriyat (M) Chairman, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq expressed serious concern over the recent incident at Pulwama in which several civilians were injured in alleged firing by the security forces.
He said the incident has “aptly exposed the hollow and fabricated statements of the government of India that things were peaceful in Kashmirâ€.
“It contradicts the stand of GOI on Kashmir that things were peaceful,†Mirwaiz said.
Strongly condemning the use of force and suppressive tactics on innocent and peaceful people at Pulwama, Mirwaiz said that the GOI should take cue from the incident that emotions and aspirations of Kashmiri people can’t be suppressed on gunpoint.
Meanwhile, while terming the fring incidents at Pulwama as state terrorism, Hurriyat Conference (G) has called for complete shutdown on December 31 against what it called indiscriminate firing by Indian forces.
Strongly criticizing the incident, Chairman Hurriyat Conference Syed Ali Geelani has extended his wholehearted sympathy with injured persons in the said incident.
“The forces are trigger happy to the extent that blood of the people of Kashmir has turned very cheap for themâ€, he said in a statement issued here.
Terming the announcement of majestrail inquiry as joke ,Syed Ali Geelani said , ‘ It is nothing but a ploy to deceive and pacify the rage of massesâ€, adding “It is understood that the state administration is not in a position to inquire about the incident and it is not denying the fact that no armed person can be examined in court because of AFSPAâ€.
