More you repress us, more we will resist, Mirwaiz tells India

Author: Online

SRINAGAR: All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC) Chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq has expressed shock at the firing by Indian armed forces on 85-year-old Abdul Qayoom and his wife in Tral, terming it a blatant barbaric act.

He expressed deep concern and anguish over blocking of intra-district movement of vehicles carrying essentials such as medicines, vegetables and milk to Srinagar and imposition of round-the-clock curfew as a revenge against people by the anti-human regime.

“If the regime thinks it will weaken the people’s resolve and we will be brought down on our knees and will give up, they are living in a fool’s paradise. In fact the more they repress us the more we will resist,” he said.

“In this crisis situation created by the vengeful state, each one of us has to redouble our efforts and help and support each other in every possible way. Adversity is a great teacher in a nation’s moral and character building,” he added.
