Expressing concern over the day-to-day crackdowns in nook and corner of Kashmir, the Jammu Kashmir National Front today said, “New Delhi is using iron fist to crush the people’s aspirations.”
“It is jailing people, restricting them to their houses, conducting crackdowns on the pattern of nineties and claims that peace is prevailing in the disputed region. Fact of the matter is that India has managed the silence of graveyard in the disputed region by arresting genuine political leadership including National Front chairman, Nayeem Ahmad Khan in concocted cases and filling jails with youths. The irony is that the imprisonment of leaders like Nayeem Khan is being prolonged. This situation is absolutely undemocratic and unethical as Kashmiri people are not demanding anything in the skies. They are just demanding for the fulfillment of the promises made with them at local and international levels,” a spokesman, of NF, in a statement today, said.
