Resistance leaders, Activists take out protest march from Jamia

Slam issuing domicile certificates to WPRs, implementation of SARFEASI Act in JK
Warn of massive agitation if ‘anti-Muslim, anti-Kashmir’ decisions were not revoked

On the call of united separatist leadership, large number of separatist leaders and activists of different political groups staged a peaceful protest march from historic Jamia Masjid Srinagar towards Nowhatta Chowk on Monday afternoon.
The march was taken out to express solidarity with thousands of people arrested after outbreak of unrest in the Valley and lodged at Kot Bhalwal, Kathua, Hira Nagar, Udhampur and other jails.
Carrying placards and banners and chanting pro-freedom and anti-India slogans, the protestors said the jails have been converted into infamous jails like Abu Gharib and Guantanamo Bay, where political prisoners were facing both mental and physical torture and were being devoid of facilities necessary to be provided under the jail manual.
Those, who participated in the protest march and sit-in, included Muhammad Shafi Khan, Peer Saifullah, Sheikh Abdul Rashid, Sofi Mushtaq Ahmad, Raja Mehraj Kalwal, Abdul Majeed Wani, Muhammad Yaseen Bhat, Farooq Ahmad Saudagar, Imtiyaz Haider, Zahoor Ahmad Bhat, Abdul Rashid Untoo, Muhammad Sidiq Shah and Jaffar Kashmiri.
Denouncing the decision of the PDP-BJP coalition government of providing domicile certificates to West Pakistan Refugees and decision of Supreme Court about the implementation of SARFEASI Act in the State, the protesting leaders and activists said this was a “ploy against abrogation of the special status of Jammu Kashmir and changing the demography of the state” and demanded its withdrawal at the earliest.
They said the PDP-led coalition government was only taking anti-people decisions and “implementing the nefarious designs of the right wing extremist organisations of converting the Muslim-majority state into a Muslim-minority state and changing the demography of the region on the pattern of Israel”.
“PDP had become a collaborator of these extremist groups and was busy putting the lives of Kashmiri Muslims at auction while executing their anti-people decisions, which would not be accepted at any cost,” they said and warned that if these anti-Muslim and anti-Kashmir decisions were not stopped forthwith, a massive agitation would be launched whose results would be the responsibility of the ruling class in the state and their partners at New Delhi.
