Srinagar, Nov 30: The Joint Resistance Leaders (JRL) comprising Syed Ali Geelani, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and Mohammad Yasin Malik has expressed grave concern over the recent statement of Army chief about using drone attacks in Kashmir and said that such an “irresponsible, unfortunate and provocative” statement from the highest military leadership has threatened a small population of peace-loving citizens to the maximum.
“This is not only ridiculous but childish as well, that to counter and contain a few freedom fighter youths with no conventional weaponry, ten lakh army with sophisticated and latest equipment, augmented with a vast and deep informative network has miserably failed for the last 30 years,” JRL said in a statement issued to GNS.
Army chief’s statement is more than accepting their “humiliating defeat” at every front, which has unnerved them to the extent of frustration, JRL said.
“Your lust for blood of more than lakh humans seems to have not diluted, death and destruction, rape and molestation, forced disappearances and countless killing fields have not shaken your conscience,” the leadership said, adding, “Human history might have hardly witnessed such instances when a baby of just 18 months is showered with pellets, to prove the pseudo bravery of men in uniform.”
JRL said India only talks the language of hatred, destruction, violence, and force and has ruined every fabric of our existence, be it political, social, moral, religious, educational, financial or cultural. “They target our collective faith, capture our resources and make us beggars in our own land. They take control of our natural recourses and assets in the name of transparency, plant their trusted pawns at every level from municipality to the legislator so that their grip is strengthened with each passing day,” it said.
“Fresh entrants of puppets and collaborators with western qualifications, masters in the art of deceit and cunningness, have been assigned the job of tarnishing and targeting every bit of our remaining identity,” the leaders said.
JRL has once again appealed to the international community especially United Nations to take a serious note of the “threatening” statement of “war mongers”.
“They need to be curtailed and cut to their size otherwise criminal silence by world bodies will encourage these insane generals to put their words to action, which will have catastrophic ramifications not only in this subcontinent but globally as well,” it said.
“Resistance leadership cautioned Pakistan, as a principal party to the dispute, to remain vigilant in the light of these statements as the war clouds are looming around, which may compromise their existence as well, as their friendship tunes and concept of mutual cooperation and understanding is reciprocated by nothing but hatred, arrogance and war threatening,” the JRL statement said.
Meanwhile, JRL reiterated its appeal for a complete boycott of ongoing panchayat elections in Arin, Sopore, Khaipora, Chandilwanigam, Newa, Dadsara, Devsar, Pahloo, Shaahabad, Hiller, Verinag and appealed people of these areas to observe a complete shutdown on December 1. (GNS)
