Jamaat e Islami (JI) Senator Sirajul Haq has said that the killing of Hizbul Mujahideen’s Commander Burhan Muzaffar Wani at the hands of the Indian forces in occupied Kashmir during Eid days mirrored the brutalities of the occupation army on the Kashmiris.
He expressed these views while talking to media after leading funeral in absentia for the Kashmiri commander and Abdus Sattar Edhi, at Mansoora on Saturday.
The JI central leaders including Hafiz Muhammad Idrees, Maulana Abdul Malik and Mian Maqsud Ahmed were also present on the occasion.
Sirajul Haq said that the Modi government had given a license to the occupation forces in occupied Kashmir to kill Kashmiri youth for the use of social media in support of their right to self determination. He said that Commander Burhan Muzaffar Wani had been martyred in a fake encounter after which the occupation forces had opened fire at his funeral procession killing eight others.
The JI chief said that the continuation of the Kashmiris’ freedom movement despite the presence of several Indian troops in Kashmir was an indication that the freedom movement could not be crushed through genocide.
The JI chief said that India was also tightening the noose against world fame preacher Dr Zakir Naik in Kashmir as well as India by linking him with the terrorists. He said that ban on Dr Zakir Naik and his channel would be considered an attack on millions of Indian Muslims like the attack at the Babri mosque.
Sirajul Haq deplored that while Indian army was carrying out the genocide of the Kashmiris, the rulers in Islamabad were crazy for friendship and trade with India. He said it was primarily due to the pro- India policies of Islamabad that the Kashmiris were still far from their destination. However, he said the Pakistani nation stood by the Kashmiris and it had never tolerated anyone who betrayed the Kashmiri cause. The Kashmiris are struggling for the completion of Pakistan as Kashmir was the life line of Pakistan, he said.
The JI chief paid rich tributes to late Abdul Sattar Edhi for his services for humanity. He said the best way to pay homage to the deceased was that the government strived to provide shelter to the shelter-less and free medical cover and education to the poor.
He also demanded that a university be named after the deceased and also strive for the grant of Nobel prize for the deceased in memory of his prolonged services to human beings.
