A Hurriyat Conference (M) delegation Tuesday visited the residence of the slain youth of Kangan in Ganderbal district and expressed their solidarity with the bereaved family while as the chairman of the amalgam Mirwaiz Umar Farooq spoke to the parents of youth over phone.
In a statement issued here, a delegation comprising Ghulam Nabi Zaki, Abdur Rashid Untoo, Ghulam Nabi Najar, Jaffar Kashmiri and Sahil Ahmed War visited the residence of slain Amir Hamid Lone of Chattergul Kangan in Ganderbal district who was injured during the funeral of another slain youth and later succumbed at SKIMS.
“The delegation condoled the demise of young Amir and expressed solidarity with the parents of slain youth while as Hurriyat chairman Mirwaiz, who continues to remain under house arrest, spoke to slain Amir’s father Abdul Hameed Lone over phone and expressed his condolence and sympathy with the family,” the statement said adding that Mirwaiz while speaking to Amir’s father stated that the sacrifices offered by the people of Kashmir would not go in vain and that the leadership and people of entire Kashmir are committed to safeguard these sacrifices and take the mission of martyrs to its logical conclusion.
The delegation paid rich tributes to slain Amir. The delegation said that under a well-planned conspiracy forces are given unbridled powers and are selectively killing young boys to push the people and resistance leadership into a submission.
“The delegation stated that the iron-fist policy of New Delhi and the ultimate repression has failed on ground to break the resolve of people of Kashmir, who have always been committed towards the ongoing movement.” The delegation said that the hot blood spilled by the young martyrs of Kashmir will never go in vain.
Meanwhile, Hurriyat spokesman strongly condemned the use of force against the school going students at Lolab and Sopore terming it the highhandedness of police and other forces. He said that using brute forces including tear gas on the young students including females reflects the frustration on the part of the rulers, who have already pushed the young generation of Kashmir to the wall by blocking all means of peaceful protests. The spokesman said that using force to disallow the student and peoples’ protest has become a routine in Kashmir which is an irony.
