“Tragedy of Hurriyat”
How long will be the justice for unjustified blood?
How long ulcer of corruption will continue to bite? How long will our talent
continue to moan in the hands of nepotism? How long would widows of martyrs and
orphans crave due to adding salt to the injuries by so-called leaders? How long
exploitation of innocent people in the name of religion, annexed with Pakistan
and justice will take place? How long intellectuals, scholar, teachers and
journalists will remain silent? People who fear death, will they never die?
Think over it that what we are giving our next generation except lie, deceive
and bribe? After this introduction, the real subject is “Tragedy of Hurriyat”.
When Hurriyat came into being, besides political
parties, business groups and religious parties associated society joined as a
unit of Hurriyat. In this way Hurriyat got established by some political
parties with strong platform of basic principles but instead of a strong
platform it became a hollow square. Every party tried to run Hurriyat as per
their wishes. In this way Hurriyat could not flourish as united and strong
organisation, besides tug of war inside Hurriyat among different groups
continued. In this way Hurriyat got split in many groups. Sometime there were
two groups sometimes three. Guns were also used against Mirwaiz group and uncle
of Martyr Mirwaiz Moulvi Mohd Farooq was killed in a mosque. Islamia School was
burnt. In spite of this if Hurriyat continues to exist then there are three
basic reasons.
1. Blackmailing,
pressure and terrifying.
2. Advocating merger with Pakistan (without any base)
3. Funding from Pakistan.
If today Pakistan stops funding money to Hurriyat
then their existence will come to an end within a few days because people are
not giving any money to Hurriyat. However, some parties take money from some
businessman using pressure and blackmailing tactics. Then such type of help
cannot be called charity or aid but is a bribe in hooligan’s words. Many people say that only 2 to 3 districts
observe strike on Hurriyat call. We are ready to agree it but it has two
reasons one is that shopkeepers at Lal Chowk shutdown their shops by fearing of
damage by stone pelters. But there is no strike in other parts of Srinagar like
Rajbagh, Batamaloo, Karannagar, and Delegates Sonawar. If there is complete
shutdown in any area then there is also a reason that there will be a big
incident.
The second reason is that the Indian Security Forces and State Forces
are oppressing Kashmir’s for the past 27 years and people do not want to show that
they do not supporting Hurriyat call and are not against government. And
Hurriyat exploits this weakness of people and their leaders are assured that
people will abide the strike on their appeal. So this way Hurriyat is alive
like a patient in ICU. The compulsion of people, oppression of India, support
of Pakistan and funding kept Hurriyat alive. In such a way India continues to
help the people by the support of mainstream parties legally or illegally and
in the same way the establishment and agencies of Pakistan are supporting
Hurriyat leaders legally or illegally e.g you can guess this by that the 23
parties or groups present in the Hurriyat of Gillani, the same 23 parties or
groups are also present in Mirwaiz’s Hurriyat, but unity is exists only among
three persons (Gillani, Mirwaiz, Yasin). But the people of Kashmir (whom the
politicians think as sheep and goats) never hold the collars of Hurriyat and
not the sponsor of ISI and Pakistani establishment tried to unite them. Perhaps
they fear that if one group of Hurriyat agree with Delhi then one more group
will replace that.
However this is not a secret thing that some groups of
Hurriyat including Yasin Malik and some small parties received money in lakhs
from Pakistan directly or indirectly for their expenditure. However money also
comes for the martyrs or injured person during the ongoing movement. Gillani
and Mirwaiz provide funds for the smaller groups for their expenditure. This is
not a secret that how many martyrs, orphans, widows are being helped? How many
children of martyrs have been given seats of doctors or engineers? This is not
a secret that Hashim Qureshi needs to expose. State people know that instead of
orphan’s seats of doctor or engineer were being given to the sons of Government
(establishment) officers and police officers in the name of orphans.
Few days
ago one leader of Hurriyat exposed Hurriyat leaders in a sting operation by
‘India Today’ in which everything such as dignity of people, intellectuals and
politicians , families of martyrs, dream
of orphans and proud of widows vanished. He exposed that the money is used for
the purpose of stone pelting, burning of schools, by this not only people but
humanity felt ashamed. I wrote an article about burning of school which was
published in daily Chattan, Uqab, and Ghadhiyal in which I wrote that Prophet
(PBUH) says that everyone should study and also said that if they have to take
journey to China for education then they must go. The so-called leadership
shows the dream of freedom but they want merger with Pakistan. This is first
deception. The claimers of leadership, who publish everything in newspaper, one
leader of this leadership announced that the money we received from Pakistan is
being used in stone pelting and burning of schools. It means they oppose the
saying of Prophet (PBUH) and order of Allah. They burn those schools in which
children of poor and low earned people are studying.
Is this the plan of
Hurriyat that the generation of Kashmir’s will get exploited by burning of
schools and keeping them illiterate? Gun and stones would be given in their
hands so that they and our children will exploit the children of poor and
common people. While as their children are studying in universities or colleges
of Delhi, Islamabad, London and America. They also setup business for their
children from the money they receive on martyr’s body and for orphans and
widows? Now People of Kashmir have to search for answers of some questions. The
first question is that the leaders who were in sting operation said that they
were implicated and Gillani issues statement that the Indian Media is maligning
our movement. Well said, we are ready to accept both but the question is that
from whose mouth this revelations come out and what is he saying and why his
membership was terminated from Hurriyat? But the truth is on its place and we cannot
change the truth. And Gillani also expelled their Hurriyat leader. Question is
that people of this state should ask and think that can such Hurriyat drive the
freedom or merger with Pakistan as its goal?
It is to
remember that there are few armed groups which are not more that 200 who are
victims of ideological confusion, can they give freedom to Kashmiri people from
the oppression of India by 200 guns? When 94000 guns cannot achieve this goal,
then how can 200 guns achieve it? In reality these groups were established by
Pakistan, its administration and also Hurriyat leaders to create fear psychosis
among the people. Here no one is allowed to speak the truth or to discuss
anything. So what is the difference between Indian oppression and yours? The one who speak the truth are declared as
agents or even killed. The people of the world cannot help us due to recent
disclosures. India reached International court for Kulbhushan Jadav, our lakhs
of people have been killed but have we asked Pakistan about it? Why you have
not approached International court for the oppression, killings and
imprisonment or why you have not raised our concerns with the support of 4
countries at UN? Is Hurriyat having an answer for this? My question is to those
people who are betraying our generation. Should we take revenge in the name of
freedom from the businessmen? Those who burn schools cannot achieve freedom and
do not have right of leadership. Freedom means light. Freedom means to: develop
the country, spread intelligence and spread education. By establishing school
and universities we can spread the light and not by burning it.
