Anjuaman Shari Shian (Shiite party) on Friday condemned the imposition of curbs and curfew, foiling of ‘Youm-e-Istaqlal’ (independence day) program, detention of its president and senior separatist leader Aga Syed Hasan Almosvi Alsafvi, other leaders including Syed Ali Geelani, Muhammad Yasin Malik and Mirwaiz Umar Farooq.
The party spokesman said that the ongoing freedom struggle particularly the protest marches from past four months is an opener and open message to India and its stooges that the resolve of the people can’t be broken.
According to the statement, the spokesman said that the security cordon around senior Kashmiri Shia cleric, Aga Syed Hasan, who is under house arrest from past four months has been tightened and he was not allowed to offer prayers at Central Imam Bara Budgam for the consecutive 18th Friday.
Aga Syed Hasan condemned the government move to seal Srinagar’s Grand Mosque from past four months where people are not allowed to offer daily prayers.
Expressing anguish over the arrest spree of religious clerics and leaders, Aga Syed Hasan said that barring people from offering prayers is direct interference in the religious affairs.
“India has been adopting suppressive and oppressive measures to strengthen its occupation in Jammu and Kashmir. The atrocious tactics of India can’t break the will of the people,” he said and added that the Kashmir issue is not only dangerous for whole sub-continent but this issue has also halted the economic progress of both India and Pakistan.
“The resolution of Kashmir issue is in the interest of poor people of India and Pakistan and its resolution will pave the peace between India and Pakistan,” Aga Syed Hasan said.
