KUPWARA, May 4: Strongly condemning the latest massacre of minorities in Assam through organized violence, PDP patron Mufti Mohammad Sayeed today warned that such senseless and targeted carnage could have dangerous consequences for the country.
“It’s extremely painful to see such barbaric acts of targeted violence being operationalized in the 21st century democratic India. Continuation of such atrocities against minorities, lack of accountability and stereotyping of Muslims is not only fueling a sense of insecurity among the community but is also breeding perilous alienation,” he said while addressing an election rally in Lolab Assembly segment of Baramulla Parliamentary constituency.
Sayeed said once elected to the Parliament, PDP representatives would work with the community leaders across the country to address the issues of minority insecurity and their developmental rights.
He said the continued denial of justice and full democratic rights have led to a sense of mistrust in Kashmir as well and there seems to be no reason for the country’s political leadership to dither on this most serious problem that has been a source of discord, disruption and destruction for more than six decades.
“Peace and resolution is an idea that has arrived for Kashmir and if the people want to change their destiny through democratic means they shall have to join the movement for change through ballot,” he said and added that through its untiring efforts and the Self-Rule agenda PDP has been able to create a middle ground for all forces of peace progress and reconciliation to operate.
Reiterating the PDP resolve to stand by the people of the State and work for the agenda of peace, progress and prosperity set by it, Sayeed said the miseries of people of Jammu & Kashmir have been undergoing for the past six decades are the outcome of the deceitful tactics resorted to by the NC leaders in their lust for power.
The rally was also addressed by senior PDP leader Tariq Hameed Karra, Abdul Haq Khan, Ghulam Mohd, Salaam-ud-Din, Nizam-ud-Din, Peer Ab Ganie and others.
