Srinagar, July 2: The chief patron of Jammu Kashmir Mahaz-e-Azadi (MeA) Muhammad Azam Inqilabi Monday alleged that New Delhi’s Kashmir policy was based on “repression”.
 Condemning the alleged use of force by police on the procession at Lal Chowk on June 29, Inqilabi, said, “It seems that New Delhi wants to carry its K-policy on guns and bayonets.”
 He alleged that Kashmir had been turned into a “police state”. “Recently Kashmiri drivers, who facilitate tourists, were injured when CRPF men beat them up at Pahalgam and damaged their vehicles. What is the rationale behind this?” he asked.
 Inqilabi urged Pakistani leadership to reconsider their K-policy and take “considerable steps” to resolve the Kashmir issue. He asked leadership and people of Pakistan administered Kashmir to support the struggle. “It is imperative for them to show solidarity with their oppressed brethren here,” he added.
 “Demilitarization, demolition of LoC, end to human rights abuses, release of political prisoners and installation of democratically elected parliament in united-Kashmir is must,” he said, adding that “This will pave way for the Kashmiris to decide whether to opt for independence or have some administrative links with either India or Pakistan.”
