Srinagar, Aug 01, KONS: The chairman of the Hurriyat (G), Syed Ali Shah Geelani, today said that Kashmiri people had scored a moral victory over fanatic Hindus, and that the entire Kashmiri nation was at the back of Jammu Muslims.
Addressing a Tehreek-e-Hurriyat rally in Tral, Geelani said that the Hurriyat would not be oblivious to the explosive situation in Jammu and that a sharp eye was being kept on the developments.
âKashmiris cannot remain disconnected with the ongoing situation (in Jammu) for long. The Kashmiri agitation over the transfer of land has put communalists in despair, and they have realized that Indian brutality and oppression have been beaten by the spirit of Kashmiris,â he said.
âWe have to proceed with extreme caution and defeat the designs of communalists. The life, property and honour of non-Kashmiris living here must be protected at all costs,â he said.
Geelani described the economic blockade by communalists as a âcruel gambit,â saying that the communal elements were devoid of compassion.
âKashmiris have always given due respect to non state subjects, and Jammu Muslims will not left at the mercy of extremists like in 1947,â he said.
Commenting on the freedom struggle and the global situation Geelani said that the this was the appropriate time to put the movement on the path of self-reliance so that it does not have to depend on any other country.
âBailt-ul-Maal (public treasuries) must be set up in every locality, and an organized and integrated approach adopted for the rehabilitation of the victims of violence,â he said.
âIf the nations adopts the motto of self-reliance and displays unity of purpose, I can guarantee freedom,â he said.
Appealing for a total boycott of the forthcoming elections, Geelani said that that would send a message to India and pro-India forces that Kashmiris were not for sale, and would not trade off their pride and right to freedom.
