We Hail Anti-AFSPA Yatra from Srinagar to Imphal-- Farooq Rehmani

Islamabd:19 October,2011: The Chairman Jammu and Kashmir People's Freedom League Muhammad Farooq Rehmani has praised the Anti-Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) Yatra from Srinagar to Imphal under the banner of  "Save Sharmilla Solidarity Group" as timely and democratic to rid people of,  the neo-colonial military horrors of forced Delhi rule, devoid of any popular support. He also termed the statement of noted Social Activist Sandeep Panda very significant and encouraging for advocating the right of self- determination for the Kashmiris, and other suppressed people saying that the time is ripe for a world-wide tide of political freedom and economic equality across the globe. All the colonialists and corporate exploiters of the world must know that the uprising of humanity is the last nail in its coffin. He said India's National Human Rights Commission  (NHRC)Chairperson Justice K J Balkrishnan should not just look into the fast changing situation but it must adapt to it and translate its own word of human rights and human dignity into action. Repression in Kashmir must be brought to an end.

Reacting   on   the statement of the General Officer Commanding (GOC) of 15 Corps of the Northern Command of India  Lieutenant General  Syed Ata Hasnain at the Islamic University of Science and Technology  Awantipora in South Kashmir on Monday,17 Oct. he said "it is a military statement which points to continuous war by India unleashed against an unarmed population for the right of self- determination only."  He said the General has only disappointed his own country's jurists by saying that the issue of AFSPA  "did not even surface in their unified Command meeting." He said the army's eyes were closed towards the ground realities and India's political manipulations had become totally exposed in Jammu and Kashmir. He asked as to how long military repression could give it oxygen. He said why the Indian generals were still obdurate  upon the Disturbed Areas Act and Armed Forces Special Powers Act, from Kashmir to Manipore, when the people were up against these inhuman laws and wanted a peaceful change and peaceful solution of all the disputes. He said that by opposing scrapping of such laws of horror and murder against innocent humanity they were perpetuating savagery of terrible nature and blocking  every road to peace,  economic   progress,  prosperity and peaceful solution of a political dispute of international dimensions.

Muhammad Farooq Rehmani urged on the military brass and rulers of India to shun their colonial ways of politics and scrap all draconian laws--the Disturbed Areas Act, Armed Forces Special Powers Act, as otherwise they were givingj a license to army and police and their rented agents   for rape, kidnappings, fake-encounters, corruption, and all types of killings and humiliations in and outside of the camps. "No state however strong, can survive long by remaining in ever animosity and at daggers drawn with people." He warned.
