Uproar by MLAs over civilian killings just drama: Hurriyat

The All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC) has advised the J&K legislators, who have been voicing their concern over the civilian killings and human rights violations in the ongoing session of the Assembly, to “register their protest and concern through proactive means rather than empty words”.
In a statement, the Hurriyat said the meeting of the APHC executive council, headed by chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, was held today at his Nigeen residence and discussed in detail the “current political situation” in Kashmir.
The progress on transition to the long-term strategy for people’s right to self-determination was also discussed, it said. “It was observed in the meeting that people are keenly watching the drama that is going on in the so-called state Assembly where much hue and cry is being raised about the mass murder of innocent Kashmiris in the past five months,” the Hurriyat said.
“Passionate and emotional speeches are being made (in the Assembly) to show solidarity and concern for Kashmiris. But Kashmiris are not so naive and they fully know that these are just empty words and the noise is being made for public consumption with an eye on votes and the ultimate aim to get to the chair,” the amaglam said.
It said the people of Kashmir knew that “it is these very people, be they in the chair or in opposition who are responsible for their plight”, adding that it is their “active collaboration with New Delhi” that has landed Kashmiris in the current situation of misery and suffering.
