Paying glowing tributes to Kashmir’s prominent socio-political personality of South Kashmir Shaheed Dr Qazi Nisar Ahmad on his martyrdom anniversary, Hurriyat (M) Chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq said such tragic assassinations had left an indelible mark on the psyche of the people, adding, the bloodshed of scholars, reformers and religious figures in the Valley was a collective loss of entire Kashmiri nation.The Mirwaiz said Dr Qazi Nisar had been striving for the unity among groups of various schools of thought and worked for the resistance movement which cannot be forgotten. Since 1990, under a well-planned conspiracy, top religious and political leadership of Kashmir was martyred from time-to-time with the design to eliminate the Kashmiri resistance leadership and make it leaderless,” the Mirwaiz said.“However, these killings did not dampen the resolve of the leadership which continued to carry forward the resistance movement,” he said.
Condemning the action of government forces during which nocturnal raids were carried out to arrest large number of youth in Old City of Srinagar, the Mirwaiz said that government forces were orchestrating state sponsored terrorism by carrying out such arrests which has turned the lives of locals miserable. He said the oppression of government forces have crossed all limits which has terrorized the population.Mirwaiz termed these actions as fascist and cruel. He said brutal suppressive measures were being used against the Hurriyat leadership, activists and youth of Kashmir. Mirwaiz further said that these tactics, however, were not going to deter the people or leadership of Kashmir.Meanwhile an Hurriyat (M) spokesman has strongly condemned the continuous arrest of Senior amalgam leader Mukhtar Ahmad Waza at Police Station Sherbagh Islamabad.
