The ones who have exhausted in the struggle for freedom should stay at home: Mirwaiz

Srinagar, Jan 05: On the completion of 66 years since the UN adopted the resolutions of Kashmir on January 5, 1949, granting the Kashmiris right to self determine their political future, hurriyat conference today organized a seminar titled “Right to self determination and United Nation Resolutions”.

APHC Mirwaiz, the chairman of Hurriyat (M)  addressing a seminar over the UN resolutions on Kashmir wherein most of the Hurriyat leaders said that the ones who have exhausted in the struggle for freedom should stay at home and bid farewell to their respective positions they have in the Huriyat camp.

Mirwaiz said the delay in the resolution of Kashmir is not the failure of the people or the leadership of Kashmir. He said the onus lies with the United Nations which despite passing the resolutions has so far failed to implement them on ground.

The Huriyat (M) chairman maintained that the UN resolutions provide legal basis to the Kashmir issue and same has provided a legal platform for the dissent of the masses of this Himalayan region.

Stating that routine Hartals and Stone pelting are not needed to show the Kashmir issue is alive, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq said, “People must not get disappointed at present as resolution of Kashmir issue has become inevitable for the lasting peace in South Asia.”

Among other senior leaders including Professor Abdul Gani Bhat, Agha Syed Hassan Al Moosvi Al Safvi, Mukhtar Ahmad Waza, Javaid Ahmad Mir, Engineer Hilal Ahmad War, Hakim Abdul Rashid, Syed Saleem Geelani and Yasmeen Raja also spoke on the occasion.

“I want to ask government of India that if you term the present polls as referendum to Kashmir issue, what was the presence of 10 lakh people in Eidgah in 2008 and what was the two percent poll participation in the elections of 1996,” asked Mirwaiz.
He said an atmosphere is being created that the new government can resolve the Kashmir issue but such claims are the ‘deceitful tactics’.

Engineer Hilal Ahmad War threw light on the legal aspect of the UN resolutions and UN charter,He said the Kashmir was standing at a crucial point where it becomes incumbent on Kashmiris to go for self-introspection and self -accountability and there was a need to take the freedom struggle forward by utilizing our collective efforts and evolving a comprehensive strategy.
