Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) National Youth Wing president, Sanjay Saraf Wednesday said that it was the Rajiv-Farooq accord that instigated armed violence in Kashmir.“I believe that it is because of Rajiv-Farooq accord that made Muhammad Yousuf as Syed Salahudin and in turn triggered armed uprising in the Valley,” Saraf said while addressing a presser here at local hotel.He said he failed to understand as to why Kashmiris, who are on the roads demanding freedom, are carrying the flag of any country in their hands. “We (Kashmiris) are demanding freedom carrying the flags of other country in our hands. Nobody knows where we are going.”The national spokesman of LJP said despite passing 150 days of shutdown in the Valley, nobody knows where they are going and what they are doing.“I believe it is a peoples’ movement but there are some elements playing politics over the issue. Whenever a Kashmiri is being ‘martyred’, some elements come forward and start their politics on it. The people who are torching school buildings want to leave Kashmiris illiterate,” he said.He also said that the new generation of Kashmir is being pushed towards walls.

Taking a dig at NC president Farooq Abdullah, Saraf said that those who earlier claimed that ‘Kashmiriyo ko goli maro’ are now-a-days asking people that they are with them“He (Farooq) had also said that throw Hurriyat leaders into Jehlum and now has extended his support to Hurriyat in pursuing the struggle. If Farooq Abdullah is willing to extend their support to Hurriyat then he must join hands with Hurriyat,” Saraf, according to KNS correspondent, said.Later, he appealed Hurriyat leadership to look into the sufferings of common people. “Everybody especially transporters and students have suffered lossed in the current uprising. I appeal Hurriyat leaders to look into the sufferings of people who have suffered loss due to the shutdown in Kashmir,” he said. (KNS)
