| Ahead of Modi's visit, State Govt allows Malik-Mirwaiz to hold anti-India seminar | | Bahut Yarana Lagta Hai! | | Early Times Report
Jammu, May 17: Even as the so called Joint Resistance Leadership or JRL has called for a protest march against Prime Minister Narendra Modi's scheduled visit to Jammu and Kashmir on May 19, the state government continues to pamper such anti-India elements.
In the latest, barely two days ahead of Modi's high profile visit, the Peoples Democratic Party- Bharatiya Janta Party alliance allowed the separatists to hold major event at the Hurriyat Conference (M) headquarters in the summer capital of Srinagar.
The government allowed both Hurriyat (M) Chairman, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front Chairman, Muhammad Yasin Malik to spew anti-India venom while their supporters equally added fuel to the fire.
At the anti-India seminar titled "Responsibility of Leadership in Safeguarding the Sanctity of Martyrdom" organized by the Hurriyat(M) at its Rajbagh headquarters, Malik asked the people of Kashmir to be united against New Delhi.
Mirwaiz in his address ridiculed at the announcement of the ceasefire by the Home Minister Rajnath Singh asking if atrocities would resume after Eid. Both Malik and Mirwaiz made provocative statements against New Delhi and asked the people to be steadfast against "New Delhi's oppression."
Pertinently the same leaders have called for Lal Chowk Chalo march on May 19, when Modi is scheduled to visit the state.
A senior official said it was unfortunate that instead of gagging such anti-national voices who want to sabotage PM's visit to Kashmir, the state government was pampering the separatists.
"What was the need to allow the Hurriyat to hold a seminar in the summer capital when the situation is already tense and the Prime Minister is about the visit Kashmir," the official said.
Sources said there was "political interference" in the way the police should be allowed to work as otherwise such a seminar would not have been allowed.
The separatists, under the banner of JRL comprising Syed Ali Shah Geelani, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and Mohammad Yasin Malik, have appealed the people to march towards Lal Chowk on 19 May to register their peaceful protest against the Prime Minister's visit to the state. |
