People’s league paid glowing tributes to Gaw Kadal martyrs “Where your constitution allows you for serial massacres” Waza asks India spokes man pl imtiyaz reshi,

Srinagar, Jan 21: Senior Hurriyet leader and Jammu Kashmir Peoples’
league chairman, Mukhtar Ahmad Waza while paying glowing tributes to
Gaw Kadal martyrs on their 23nd martyrdom said that Indian has no
right to celebrate the anniversary of their constitution in Kashmir as
they have still deprived kashmiris from basic right ‘right to self
determination’ after passing two decades.
Addressing a party meeting here in South Kashmir’s Islamabad district,
that was attended by a number of party activists from several areas of
Islamabad and Kulgam Districts, Waza Said that from 1947 to till date
Indian armed forces have done serial massacres in the valley and have
killed thousands of innocent people.
“ Indian security agencies have every time killed people in Kashmir,
gang raped our daughter like in Konan Poshpora, Shopian and yet no one
was punished involved in those worst kind of human rights violations.”
Waza said, adding these incidents has uncovered the cruel,
undemocratic face of Indian at international level
He said that more than 52 persons were martyred and 250 others injured
in the firing by forces in January 21, 1990, at Gaw Kadal here. “The
Gaw Kadal massacre was intentional and security forces deliberately
killed people by bullets and put afire the residential houses and
shops as they did in Sopore, Handwara and Kupwara,” said Waza, urging
the international human rights organizations to set up an
international independent tribunal to probe the serial massacres of
January 1990 including Gawkadal Massacre so that the conspirators be
unmasked and punished under the international humanitarian law.
He castigated Indian authorities for celebrating anniversary of
constitution here in Kashmir by saying that they are continuously
depriving kashmiris from their birth right ‘right to self
determination’ for which India’s first Prime Minister Pt. Jawahar Lal
Nehur made commitment with the people of Jammu and Kashmir in Lal
Chowk Srinagar. He said besides granting people their birth right,
government killed people and security forces got involved in worst
kind of rights violations in the valley.
Mukhtar Waza maintained that unfortunately, the people of Jammu and
Kashmir were still kept deprived of right to self-determination and
the promises made with them at international level were not fulfilled.
“The authorities cannot suppress the Kashmiris’ liberation struggle
through use of brute force,” he added. Waza said that the acts of
Indian state terrorism perpetrated against innocent Kashmiris were
aimed at silencing their just voice for right to self-determination,
but the people of Jammu and Kashmir will continue their struggle for
securing right to self-determination till its logical end.
