All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC) led by Syed Ali Geelani on Friday termed the sacking of twelve J&K government employees as “unfortunate and undemocratic”.
Condemning and criticizing the “inhuman and revengeful” action, the Hurriyat Conference, “everyday puppet regime is coming out with such ridiculous and irresponsible verdicts, making themselves a laughing stock.”
“(J&K Government) employees are part and parcel of our society and how can they be aloof and silent to the happenings around them. Every Kashmiri is not a ‘sold commodity’, as the stooges are, so how can anybody expect them to shut their eyes and plug their ears on the scourge in their vicinity,” Geelani led Hurriyat Conference said. “Everybody has a moral right to raise their voice against the excesses and if employees have stood against the tyranny and the vandalism by the state machinery, they have not violated any law.”
The Hurriyat Conference asserted that employment is “not any favour by Delhi government or their local henchmen and as long as long India continues to forcibly occupy our land, we have no option than to serve in our respective fields”.
“But at the same time,” the Hurriyat Conference said, “we can’t mortgage our conscience for the jobs.”
“In our society,” it added, “traitors and bar-gainers of our emotions and aspirations are only that class of collaborators which, for the 70 years have exploited our innocence, weaknesses and helplessness, by thriving and flourishing on, not only our blood, but our honour as well and as a nation we will continue to fight the aggressor with brave hearts.”
Hurriyat Conference (g) further said, “our bureaucratic class slaps the draconian laws like PSA (Public Safety Act) from 14 to 86 years-old-people and issue termination orders at the behest of biased administration especially police without applying their own mind. These bureaucrats are known to be highly ‘educated’ class of the society, but after assuming higher official positions they lose their sanity and social sensitivity and are recognized only as the yes-men of their higher ups.”
“If education produces such a variety of mental and psychological parasites,” the Hurriyat Conference observed, “then this system of education may produce an affluent and wealthy class of people, but it can never be beneficial to the society at large, especially the one crushed, muzzled, crumbled and strangulated for no crime of their own and the implementing tools are none other than this howling bureaucratic prowess.”
The statement of Geelani led APHC added, “these repressive tools have always been tried and tested by occupiers and their horrific goons every now and then, but they have never been able to cool down the tempers of freedom.”
“It is surprising that police accuse these employees to have participated in protests and were aiming at harming and stoning the so-called security forces, but this is ironical that those who killed 94 people, blinded about 250 innocents and injuring more than 15 thousand are roaming freely. Can these high officials ever satisfy or question their own conscience that why those responsible for this widespread killing, maiming and harming the incapacitated masses are being patronized, encouraged and even rewarded. And our own guns, bullets, pellets, lathis, abuses, PSAs and terminations are for this ill-fated community. Let these people at the helm of affairs be conveyed in loud and clear terms that there is a court higher than the judiciary and that is the court of conscience and they all need to be accountable to it,” the statement maintained.
“We may not be in a position to question or put them to task, but there is a super power hereafter, where there is no security, no seniority, no political shield and no judicial impunity, where every soul has to be answerable,” the Hurriyat Conference asserted. “Police are forcing the youths to attend police stations for their past role in protests of 2008 and 2010 to harass them so that they will succumb to their pressure.”
