Will bring back ‘lost dignity’ of people
Excelsior Correspondent
SRINAGAR, Apr 24: Peoples Conference (PC) chairman Sajad Gani Lone today said that the National Conference (NC) leaders will be held accountable for every single “atrocity” against Kashmiris since 1987.
Addressing a workers’ convention of Kralpora Zone in Trehgam constituency, held in Dard Harie, Lone said the NC leaders will be held accountable for their “involvement in innocent killings, torture, incarceration, proliferation of graveyards in every village since 1987, and the unjust imposition of PSA on the Kashmiri populace.”
He highlighted the strong ideological alignment between the NC and BJP, citing historical instances when Omar Abdullah, as an NDA minister, “shamelessly” defended the killings of Muslims.
Lone said that Omar was the Foreign Minister “when the BJP was in power; he used to tell the world everything was fine in Kashmir; it is a bit difficult for him to be taken seriously.”
“Even when Vajpayee’s government rejected NC’s proposal for greater autonomy in the 90s, NC leaders unethically chose to succumb to a mere ministerial role. They have long been allies of BJP. Yet now, they callously invoke Islam in Kashmir as a veil to obscure their unforgivable crimes against Kashmiris.”
He said that persistent massive gatherings mark a crucial juncture in the history of J&K, as the resilient majority rises, steadfast in their demand for the restoration of dignity and rights.
“We will bring back the lost dignity of the people of Kashmir; the youth are caught in the web of the police verification system. If we can save them from that, it would be a significant achievement for us.”
Lone added: “The resounding message is crystal clear: Peoples Conference is not only here to endure but to triumph, amplifying the voice of the common man in the halls of Parliament.”
Lone asserted that North Kashmir has resolved not to allow “tourists” to determine their destiny or that of their children any longer.
“Those who failed to advocate for our rights for over 28 years in Parliament are undeserving of even being contesting candidates from Baramulla Parliamentary constituency. NC has consistently prioritized self-interest over the pressing issues of livelihood, sustenance, and development that have left the people suffering for decades,” he said.
The party leaders who were present on the occasion include Advocate Bashir Ahmad Dar, Abdul Ahad Kashmiri, Irfan Pandithpuri, Haji Farooq Mir, DDC Masrat, DDC Habibullah Beigh, Shiekh Aslam, Rydham Singh, Tasaduq Yaseen, Mansoor Banday, Rahil Dar, Rafie Lone, among others.
