SRINAGAR, Apr 11: Hurriyat (M) Confrence chairman, Mirwaiz Omar Farooq today rejected the elections in Jammu and Kashmir and described these as useless exercise and tug of war of power politics.
“Kashmiris have never shown any interest in these elections because these dramas have been enacted right from 1947 and this futile exercise did not bring about any change here”, he said while addressing Friday worshipers at Jama Masjid.
Mirwaiz demanded withdrawal of troops from all the areas of Jammu & Kashmir including Tosa Maidan and appealed people to make tomorrow’s hartal call against extension of lease to Tosa Maidan a success.
He said that the issue of Tosa Maidan was not separate from Kashmir issue and further said that while we will resist the use of land in Tosa Maidan by Army but at the same time our demand for total withdrawal of troops from Jammu and Kashmir remains intact.
The separatist leader asked the people to express resistance against the increasing militarization in Kashmir and show complete solidarity towards the movement and its cherished goal.
Mirwaiz announced that a meeting of Ulemas, Imams of Mosques and prominent personalities is being convened onApril 13 at Androon Kathi Darwaza about creating awareness on eradication of social evils.
Mirwiaz lamented that our youth were getting involved in drugs and other social evils, obscenity of the internet and other un-Islamic activities, adding that our society was based on Islamic values but unfortunately is now drifting away from the high moral values of the religion.
