Geelani seeks total troop withdrawal
Tribune News Service & PTI
Srinagar, January 16
The chairman of the hardline faction of the Hurriyat Conference, Syed Ali Geelani, has sought a complete withdrawal of troops from Jammu and Kashmir, saying the proposed 25 per cent reduction will be a meaningless exercise to resolve the Kashmir issue which is a "political and human problem".
Reacting to the recent statement of Union Home Secretary G.K Pillai about the plan to reduce troops, Geelani claimed that such remarks were misleading and there was no surety of the implementation of such decisions. He lamented that the Centre was maintaining silence over the basic issue of Kashmir and was trying to mislead the global community. He asked the government to accept Kashmir as a dispute that was yet to be settled.
The party has called for a shutdown on January 26 and observing Republic Day as a "black day".
Meanwhile, the state unit of the CPM said today that the troops in Jammu and Kashmir should be cut in proportion to the waning militancy in the state.
Comments:
Six decades are more than enough to come to a decision. Atrocities committed by the Indian forces upon the Kashmiris cannot be forgotten, e. g., more than 192,685 killings, 215,877 arrests, 110,000 disappearances, 115,665 home demolitions, by Indian Security Forces, leaving 122,675 widows and 207,218 orphans. Indian forces have been committing crimes such as rapes, torture and gross human rights violations of the Kashmiri people. The Indian Government should understand that if it could not suppress the voice of freedom of the Kashmiries for past 63 years, it will never be able to do so. Keeping in view of the aforementioned brutality, we strongly demand that every single Indian incumbent whether they belong to armed forces or civil must leave Kashmir.
Regards,
Habib Yousafzai.
