While terming the eagerness regarding the holding of election drama in Kashmir as unkind thinking of the Indian policy makers and self-centered thinking of the Kashmiri pro-Indian politicians, Chairman Hurriyat Syed Ali Geelani said that at the time when the destructive floods have snatched everything from the Kashmiri people and when they are living a life in coma, even talking about the election ‘drama’ is sorrowful and it proves that the rulers of New Delhi and Srinagar have nothing to do with the miseries of the people and they are only concerned with their benefits.
In a statement issued to KNS, the Huriyat (G) chairman said, ”holding of election drama in presence of 7.5 lakh Indian army in Kashmir is although a military operation and a cruel joke but talking about the elections in this situation which arose after the recent floods is equal to adding to the pain and sufferings of the people and it is also an attempt to hide the reality of destruction in Jammu and Kashmir from the outer world and by announcing the holding of election drama, India want to give an impression to the international community that everything is ok in Jammu & Kashmir. In the Saturday’s press release, the hurriyat chairman said that the recent floods and the situation thereafter have entirely exposed the authorities in New Delhi and NC and PDP like pro-Indian political parties of Jammu & Kashmir that they are only interested in the power politics. He further said that the recent floods have shown us that how did they disappeared from the entire Jammu & Kashmir as if they were never existent anywhere. They neither did anything for saving the people and nor have they any role in reaching out to the affected people with relief and aid.”
Geelani said that now when the elections are nearing, they have started to come out from their hides and now they are showing fake love and affection for the people who were left to die in floods. Now they will begin to visit the every effected area and they will show fake sympathy with the people and they will give different reasons for the holding of election drama. The pro-freedom leader said that these people are having chameleon character who are faithless and have no religion. Geelani said that preparing for the elections in this situation reflects the unkind face of New Delhi towards the Kashmiries and it shows that instead of rehabilitating the people, GOI is more interested with providing the democratic cover to their ‘forced occupation’ and they want to mislead the world about the reality of Jammu & Kashmir. Geelani sahib said that we are closely monitoring the progress in this regard and when the announcement regarding the said election drama will be made, we will also come up with our policy and we will present our stand before the public.
He however said that the election drama held under the threat of gun can never be termed as a democratic process, it will be a military operation like the past and it can’t compensate our demand of referendum. Meanwhile on the direction of Geelani sahib, a delegation comprises of chairman Central Relief Committee Peer Saifullah, deputy-chairman CRC Altaf Ahmad Shah, Tehreek-e-Hurriyat district president Srinagar Raja Mehraj-ud-din, Mohammad Sayed, Syed Imtiyaz Hyder, Mohammad Ashraf Laya and Mudasir Nadvi distributed ration and other relief kits amoung the 450 affected families of Jawahar Nagar, Kulgam, Chachi Mohalla Dalgate, Aabinorpora, Kuli Mohalla Dalgate and Hamdania Colony.
