Peoples’ Conference Chairman
Sajad Lone has expressed, dissatisfaction, pain and dismay on the
Sheikh Imran and
Sheikh Farhad to life in prison.
Sajad Lone said that because of such precise attitude towards Kashmiris, there is a well-founded perception in
Kashmir that Kashmiris have become canon fodder and that the only sin that Kashmiris need to commit to languish in jails is to be Kashmiris. It seems like Kashmiris are being progressively seen as opportunities to demonstrate the politically saleable aspects of ruthlessness and iron-handedness at the national center-stage.
Stating that the most tragic reality is that successive governments in J&K have allowed the unabated persecution of Kashmiris, Sajad Lone said that PDP rather than taking out protest demonstrations should introspect and answer how it extended legal help and sought justice from the West Bengal government for these two youth when they were in power. NC is sticking true to its role of culling and oppressing Kashmiris, a trait that has been the hallmark of NC’s politics since so many decades, he said.
Sajad Lone said that, rather than grabbing such tragic instances as political opportunities, Kashmiri leaders should treat these issues on a moral, humanitarian, non-political basis and ensure that injustice is not meted out to Kashmiris. There are a lot of under-trial Kashmiris languishing in jails without proper legal-aid and representation. It is the duty of Kashmiri leaders, regardless of their political intentions or affiliations, to ensure that these Kashmiri youth are legally well represented and are safeguarded from a growing blood-thirst to persecute them.
“Unfortunately however our successive government as well as the political parties in the State have been more interested in extracting political nectar out of these cases,” he said, adding that this attitude of persecution was contrary to the pre-requisites of reconciliation and would have far-reaching consequences in Kashmir, further alienating and isolating a common Kashmiri, filling him with a fear of harassment and discrimination.
“There is an omnipresent fear and sense of hounding in Kashmir and such unfortunate cases will further propagate this fear,” he said.
