Mirwaiz condemns occupation authorities’ actions
Srinagar, October 05 (KMS): In occupied Kashmir, strict indefinite curfew was clamped on all the ten districts of Kashmir Valley and Muslim areas of Jammu region today by the occupation authorities, ahead of Lal Chowk March, tomorrow. Call of the march has been given by the Jammu and Kashmir Coordination Committee, jointly headed by the Chairman of All Parties Hurriyet Conference, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and Senior Kashmiri Hurriyet leader, Syed Ali Gilani.
Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and other Hurriyet leaders’ Professor Abdul Ghani Butt, Maulana Abbas Ansari, Bilal Ghani Lone and Agha Syed Hassan Al-Moosvi were placed under house arrest. Hundreds of innocent civilians including the Chairman of Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front, Mohammad Yasin Malik, Convenor of the Coordination Committee in three districts of Jammu region, Mohammad Shafi Rangrez and Zaffar Akbar butt were arrested and taken to unknown destinations.
The officials were heard warning people, through loudspeakers fitted onto police vehicles not to come out of their houses and those defying curfew restrictions would be sternly dealt with. The authorities have sealed all roads and lanes leading to the city of Srinagar, deploying huge contingents of Indian troops in all cities and towns of the occupied territory.
Local television channels have been broadcasting only films and music programmes as they were ordered to refrain from airing any news. No media person was allowed to cover the situation. The transporters said that they were threatened of dire consequences by the authorities if they facilitated people in converging on Lal Chowk tomorrow.
The Chairman of All Parties Hurriyet Conference, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq talking to Kashmir Media Service strongly denounced the imposition of curfew and large-scale arrest by the puppet administration to prevent Lal Chowk March. He appealed to the international community to take cognisance of the fact that India was not allowing peaceful activities in the occupied territory, which was quite contrary to democratic norms and international covenants. On the other hand, scores of youth defied curfew today in old town of Baramulla staging anti-India and pro-liberation demonstration.
Senior Kashmiri Hurriyet leader, Syed Ali Gilani, who complained of severe chest pain, last evening, was shifted to Soura Medical Institute for treatment.
