Srinagar, Oct 27, KDC: People’s Democratic Party senior leader, Rouf Bhat has expressed disappointment over Kashmiri students being booked under UAPA and stated that the situation is a political issue and it cannot be solved through guns and illegal detentions.
In a statement to Srinagar based news agency Kashmir Dot Com, Bhat said “the sole reason behind celebrations which were held at SKIMS Soura and GMC Karan Nagar is the central government and its increasing atrocities on the people of J&K.”
He said “BJP government has denied all the basic human rights to the people of J&K since the abrogation of Article 370. Central government has detained the youth of the valley without any charges. This reaction has come up against the Central government and its barbarous policies on the people of J&K. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. What does the central government expect from the people of the valley post abrogation of article 370 and 35-a.”
Bhat said that post abrogation of special status; there were celebrations in the country over the scrapping of special status of Jammu and Kashmir. “It is obvious that the people would give a strong reaction against all those atrocities which were committed by the central government. For one year people were caged in their homes and these atrocities have further alienated the people of the valley with the New Delhi government,” he said.
He further said that it is a matter of grave concern that doctors who belong to the most sophisticated profession of a society have expressed their resentment against India by celebrating the victory of a neighbouring country.
About the statement of home Minister Amit shah, he said that where will he talk to the youth of the valley when they are confined to jails since his visit.
Expressing concern over the issue, he said it is a political issue and it cannot be solved through guns. “No force and detentions could solve this issue. The only way forward is the dialogue. All the stakeholders should be taken on board and the dialogue should be initiated between India-Pakistan. Peace will prevail only through dialogue. This bloodshed can only be stopped through talks.” (KDC)
