Let everybody celebrate New-year, Kashmiris are waiting to celebrate

The inhabitants living in the state of Jammu and Kashmir need more peace, Justice and rights than any other individual living in other part of the world. In the beginning of every year people of Kashmir pray for eternal peace, tranquility, brotherhood and wellbeing of everybody.  It is a place where Muslims are celebrating Diwali and Hindus Eid. What happened that nobody is listening us and our voice is been muzzled and dumped?  Had not Kashmir been called as the Paradise on earth?  Why land of Rishis and Sufis (Peerveri) in contemporary times called as flush point between India and Pakistan.

Some even called my motherland as the big prison and some even called it Vulnerable and disturbed state. Due to the tag of Disturbed State, India has implemented draconian law rather anti human Armed Forces Special Power Act (AFSPA) in our state with an intention to fight against terrorism.  At the end of the day, common people (Aam Aadmi) hit the worst from both sides whether we talk of India and Pakistan. We have never supported war and terrorism to promote in our state. History is a testimony of the fact when tribal invasion took place, we have helped
from India to bring peace in our country and deport them back to Pakistan.

The New Year is a celebration for the whole world but we have witnessed hundreds of deaths, bands and destruction and what not. Our politicians within coming days will come up with press statements on the eve of New Year in such a way that nothing has happened in Kashmir.  To whom are they betray people or themselves. The established shops have been opened in Kashmir to tarnish the image of Kashmiris at the global level and get the income generated out of this all without people’s mandate. No strategy is working in Kashmir for the cause and betterment of Kashmiris. All tactics are been running to kill, destroy and loot the Nation with such a strategy that Allah has send all those people as the Vicegerents  to direct and guide the inhabitants travelling in a ship amid cyclones from decades.

This is an old saying that “Justice delayed is justice denied”. People want to know from the Indian leadership whom always talk Kashmir as an integral part of India: to what happened Aasia and Nelofar of Shopian case? What about Kunan Poshkar Massacre? Why Civil Killings are not been controlled in Kashmir? Why pellet guns are not stopping amid court directions? Why Intellectual class is joining the higher ranks in militancy? It is obvious that when state system has failed to deliver the justice in Kashmir, other heinous crimes and uncertainty will be its outcome. The India must admit Kashmir as a political issue and facilitate all the stakeholders to come up with a policy, strategy and solution of the Kashmir issue without unnecessary delay. The solution of the issue is the ultimate remedy of the problem. We know that medicine is available in the market but wrong diagnosis of the problem cannot cure the patient.

Let everybody celebrate New Year, we congratulate and pray for all the people living in the globe and expect to remember us also in your prayers.  We also wish to celebrate all the auspicious days but unrest and atmosphere have annihilated our desires to celebrate.
