Srinagar, July 1: Moderate Hurriyat Conference chairman, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq today said war mongers are openly advocating for war and confrontation in the region and such aggressive attitude will only take the whole region to the brink of disaster.
Addressing a large gathering of devotees at historic Jamia Masjid here, Mirwaiz said how ironical is the fact that who call themselves champions of democracy are talking of war as the resolution of the Kashmir issue.
“And we, who advocate dialogue and deliberations among all stakeholders for its resolution in order to usher peace, prosperity and stability in the region are labeled as traitors and terrorists,” he said.
He appealed saner elements in India to understand the ground realities of Kashmir in its political and historical context without filters and play their role in the resolution of this political and human issue.
Mirwaiz said “to get a complete hold on the State, the implementation of the agenda of demographic change both through the new industrial policy and allotment of land to non-State subjects especially in Jammu area is going on where through lease or power of attorney land is given to non State subjects”.
He alleged that in Qasim Nagar area of Jammu land has been given to non locals through power of attorney with a view to settle these people.
Mirwaiz cautioned the Government and asked it to come clear on these issues or face agitation and said that separatist leadership is closely watching the moves of Government in the State.
