The Hurriyat Conference (M) chairman and valley’s chief priest Mirwaiz Umar Farooq on Friday said Kashmir people would donate money if United Nations can’t afford has no money to run its New Delhi office.Addressing people at central Jamia Masjid in Old City here, Mirwaiz said India was making ‘pretexts to change the disputed status’ of Jammu and Kashmir on international level by sometimes terming the UN resolutions on Kashmir as ‘ineffective or by questioning’ the very presence of UN office.
Mirwaiz stated that by asking UNMOGIP office at New Delhi to shift its office, India was ‘contradicting the ground and historical realities’. At the same time, Mirwaiz said: “He stated that if UN has issues with funds to run its office in Delhi, Kashmiris were benevolent enough to donate the money so as to compensate that problem.”On the occasion, Mirwaiz paid rich tributes to July 13 martyrs of year 1931. “Those valor souls raised against the sufferings of Kashmiris at the hands of despotic and monarchial rule, adding, they fought for the rights of people and laid their lives for the cause started by ‘Mahajr-e-Millat’ Moulana Yousuf Shah,” he said.He reiterated his call for March towards Martyrs’ graveyard Naqashband Sahab on July 13.
