APHC Chairman appealed people to show complete resolve towards freedom struggle. He said Kashmir was standing at a crucial juncture of history and it has become incumbent on people to show their complete commitment with the cause for the sake of freedom struggle.
Terming the so called polls as a military exercise since they were conducted under heavy army presence, Mirwaiz said like always the people of Kashmir have rejected the farcical process of elections. He said that youth in particular punctured the poll balloon by showing complete commitment towards the cause, adding, frustrated over the rejection of polls, government rounded up of hundreds of youth and resistance leaders and lodged them in jails.
Mirwaiz demanded immediate real ease of all resistance leaders and youth who continue to be in police custody
APHC Chairman stated that so called polls was a futile exercise till Kashmiris were not first given their inalienable right of self determination to choose their political future. He stated that Kashmiris are rendering sacrifices to determine their political future since 1931 and the sham exercise of polls can never be a substitute to right to self -determination.
Terming old city as the bastion of resistance, Mirwaiz stated that the inhabitants have always shown complete resolve towards freedom struggle by sacrificing their lives, property and possessions for the cause. He said whenever any bloody incident takes places in Kashmir, it is the old city of Srinagar where curfew is imposed first and restrictions are laid at Jamia Masjid. He flayed the authorities for pursing this policy and approach. Continuing with the social reform campaign, Mirwaiz has called for a meeting of imams and Majid committees of Iddgah area at Madrass Mufat-ul-Uloom on May 11 at 3:30 pm.
