Srinagar, Mar 5: The All India Muslim Majlis-e Mushawarat (AIMMM), the umbrella body of Indian Muslim organisations, on Monday in a resolution castigated both Union and State Governments in handling situation in Jammu and Kashmir which it viewed as ‘apparent peace managed by oppression’.
 In a resolution passed at joint session in New Delhi on March 3, the copy of which was mailed to Greater Kashmir on Monday, AIMMM said: “Murder by security personnel is still treated as accidental firing. The commission of enquiry ordered by the court after the murder of as many as 118 innocent youth in 2010 is yet to submit its report. Political prisoners continue to be behind bars in and outside the state.”
 “Both the Union and State Governments lack sincerity as they never bothered to implement the recommendations of the five working groups appointed by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. Even the recent report of Interlocutors has not been made public so far.”
 The resolution said that AIMMM demanded urgent release of political prisoners, implementation of the recommendations of the aforesaid five working groups and restoration of Autonomy as recommended by Justice Saghir Ahmed.
 AIMMM also stressed the immediate withdrawal of AFSPA from whole J&K and Manipur.
 “In both the States, it (AFSPA) has been misused to the hilt and has created a climate of fear for ordinary people and impunity for the men in uniform who are free to violate rights and kill innocents at will. Thousands of unnamed graves in Kashmir are a living testimony to this national disgrace. There is no point for AFPSA to remain in force in J&K where hardly 200 militants remain according to official sources.”
 Regarding Christians in J&K, AIMMM said “Christian organisations in India have unleashed a false propaganda that Christians are being forced out of the Kashmir Valley which is not correct. “
 AIMMM urges the Church within and without J&K to desist from such false propaganda which does not serve anyone’s interest.
 Expressing concern over increasing Indo-Israeli ties, AIMMM said “Israel today is the only country occupying other people’s lands and follows racist policies against its Arab citizens in Israelis well as in the occupied territories.”
