Early Times Report
Jammu, Apr 1: After giving a two-day hartal call in Kashmir to protest the militant killings in south Kashmir, the so called Joint Resistance Leadership (JRL) has gone for rest to their respective homes.
After the killing of at least eight militants in Shopian this morning, Hurriyat G Chairman Syed Ali Geelani, his Hurriyat M counterpart Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front Chairman Muhammad Yasin Malik who constitute the JRL, gave the hartal call, asking people to protest the killings.
But even though the police have lifted curbs on their movement, the trio preferred to stay indoors.
Sources said some of the youth wanted Mirwaiz to come out of his mansion and lead protests if he was so interested in hartals. Sources said Mirwaiz supporters told him that he should come out.
But the Mirwaiz preferred to stay indoors. Similar complaints were received about Malik and Geelani. Given the attitude of the three leaders towards their own hartal call, many youth criticized the separatist leadership.
Many of them even took to social media to vent out their feelings against the Hurriyat. "These separatists are a bunch of opportunists who push the youth to fire but themselves enjoy air-conditioned lives," wrote a youth on Facebook. Many asked if in the garb of his hartal call, Geelani was planning to get some more family members of his absorbed in government jobs.
"He(Geelani) cashed 2016 agitation to get his grandson Anees Ul Islam adjusted for a high profile job in SKICC. What are these separatists eyeing this time?" asked a civil society activist inclined to mainstream politics.
"This auron ko nasihath, khud mian fasihath kind of politics of the Hurriyat leaders has drawn widespread resentment from the people of Kashmir. If we have to keep our business off why don't these Hurriyat leaders join us in losing livelihood and take to streets," said a shopkeeper.
Meanwhile officials said the hartal politics of Hurriyat was taking Kashmir towards another year of loss of business. "It's high time for the people to give a damn to Hurriyat politics and resume normal life from Monday," said a police official. |
