Srinagar, July 5: Calling for students’ protests on Tuesday, the Hurriyat Conference (G) has appealed people to make ‘Quit Kashmir Movement’ successful by adhering to its resistance calendar.
In a statement today, a spokesman of the Hurriyat urged people to hold protests on July 6, Tuesday, against imposition of curfew and other restrictions on people’s movement in the Valley. “The students- boys and girls- of all educational institutions should come on streets in uniforms along with their books on Tuesday and protest separately against Indian control in Jammu & Kashmir, while other people should organize protest dharnas and special prayers including Qanoot-e-Nazila,” the spokesman said.
He said people should come on streets and hold protests from morning to evening prayers on July 7 and 8. “On July 9, Friday, people will organize and take out large processions from all central places and Hurriyat leaders will address public meetings at different places,” he said.
Hurriyat has appealed people to establish Bait-ul-Maal (charities) in all localities and deposit Rs 50 cash and 2 Kg rice with Imams of local Masjids ‘to continue the ongoing freedom movement without any difficulty.’
The spokesman has strongly condemned the arrest and detention of ‘over 1000 youth’ by the police and other armed forces across the Valley for the past some days. “These youth have been lodged in different police stations, interrogation centres, jails and army camps,” he said. He warned of serious consequences if they were not released soon.
The spokesman also condemned firing on a public protest at Watargam in Varmul district of north Kashmir. “Dozens of civilians were injured in the firing,” he said, praying for speedy recovery of the injured.
The spokesman claimed that people took out protest processions at various places despite curfew and others restrictions.
Meanwhile, Tehreek-e-Hurriyat and Muslim League have strongly condemned the imposition of curfew and other restrictions by the state administration to prevent people from participating in Islamabad Chalo programme, terming it government’s frustration.
The Tehreek acting General Secretary Muhammad Yousuf Falahi has termed as ‘eyewash and fraud’ the Chief Minister Omar Abdullah’s appeal to civil society for support and cooperation to administration in restoring peace and taking up the issues of Kashmir resolution and revocation of AFSPA with the Central government.
