Time for our Non-cooperation movement
In early twenties of the twentieth century when erstwhile hindustan was fighting for its independence from the British occupation two leaders were arrested in Punjab. People assembled at Jalianwalla Bagh to protest against their arrest on which Generel Dyer ordered his men in uniform to fire resulting in few hundred deaths. I am reminded of Hunter Committee which was constituted to probe into the issue, result, Hunter Committee cleared General Dyer and his men, reason, India was colony of British. Two young girls were raped and killed in Shopian. Two post mortems were conducted by the Government doctors in Srinagar who confirmed rape. All the family members of these two girls confirmed the same. Not only witnesses but even doctors came in open to vouch it.
Now Central Bereau of Investigation a premier investigating agency of independent India which was assigned a job to probe shopian rape and murder case reports that neither rape nor murder has taken place. Women are said to have died of drowning (in a waterless nallah), what a big joke. Isn’t it enough to prove that we are treated as a colony worst than what British treated Indians. As it was not enough the colonial bureau of investigation implicated not only lawyers and doctors but even to the meanest of all the family members of the victims, the thing which even british did not dare to do with indians. This shows how discriminatory and callous the attitude of Government of India is towards the people of Kashmir.
Why Police hesitated to lodge FIR if it was simple drowning case? Why DNA was fudged? Why the men from police tried to implicate some relatives of the victims in their murder? What benefit will a brother or a father or a husband get by publishing rape and murder of their beloved ones? Wherefrom the imaginary flood like situation arised in the nallah wherein both the girls are being told to have supposedly drowned when there was no such flood like situation? What about the doubts raised by Dr. Sudhir K. Gupta casting doubt about the integrity of AIIMS team and its report (Daily Hindustan Times, 16/12/2009).
It seems India is not worth talking for we people. Our leaders should quit this sham quite diplomacy. What is Government of India’s approach towards these talks? 8000 unnamed graves have come to surface in only three districts when quit diplomacy is under way. In place of vacating 1200 kanals of land at Tato Ground Batamaloo 2000 kanals are to be given back to security people while we are talking of quite diplomacy. Now we people who are the rape and murder victims have been implicated in the mid of quite talks. These quite talks should go as they carry no meaning to we people rather than giving legitimacy to the indian despotism here. There is no alternative left with us but to agitate in a peaceful manner. Leaders and people should get together to fight this colonial injustice and despotism. We cannot hope for any justice anymore from the colonial power. We have a history of sixty years, commissions made, inquiries done but never in the history anyone has been prosecuted. There are one lakh killings, thousands of custodial disappearances and killings besides rape, all along the perpatrators have been saved wilfully.
Now the time has come for our Non-cooperation movement to be given shape instantly demanding within a stipulated time frame for:
01. complete withdrawl of security forces from the disputed State of Jammu and Kashmir.
02. impartial investigation by independent international agencies in Shopian case or by High Court Bar Association Kashmir and Doctors Association of Kashmir.
03. Plebscite under UN auspices as provided under Security Council resolutions.
Leaders including both the Hurriyat’s and Majlis e Mashawarat have a role to lead the masses in this direction at this crucial juncture. Our media both print and audio visual too must show their sense of patriotism and counter the colonial media in exposing the truth. May Allah help us.
