Joint resistance leadership Syed Ali Geelani, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and Mohammad Yasin Malik, while commenting on the governments repeated announcements of conducting exams and opening school, questioned their concern, has said that how can a government that presides over the murder of children, pretend to be their well wishers? How dare they lecture us on the virtues of education and its importance to our future? How wicked are these Indian stooges to feign sympathy for the future of our children? Their brutal conduct during the last three months has blown their cover of deception. Also whatever they peddle as concern is their confusion about education and literacy.Explaining the real essence and gist of education they said that literacy only makes us and our children familiar with sounds and signs but real education is what liberates our minds. Education enlightens the soul and enables a person to distinguish between good and bad, right and wrong, truth and falsehood. Going by the basic and traditional definition of education, those presiding over the worst oppression of Indian state and lecturing us on ethical and social graces can be anything but educated.
They said that had they been educated, they would have liberated themselves from the yoke of fake power and sided with truth standing beside their own people, as education would never make a monster out of people. It rather ennobles and awakens conscience of people. Joint resistance leaders said that the minister concerned, who wants to help the state, continues with the charade of normalcy by conducting the exams, and should first create an enabling environment. On the contrary he got the schools, colleges and universities occupied by the occupational forces; he cannot guarantee the safety and security of our beloved children who have been traumatized by the same forces across the state.Reminding the “worthy” and most vocal of the hatchery of collaborators, that in early 90’s this very minister used to extol virtues of freedom through his write-ups under various pseudonyms and today he not only supports but is on the forefront of providing a shameless cover to the Indian brutalities by parroting frivolous assertions about education, ethics and society. He and other turncoats like him are today’s Mirs’ Jafars’, but they won’t stand for long before the sweep of truth coupled with peoples’ political consent. (CNS)
