SYED ALI SHAH GEELANI
Paying glorious tributes Dr Manan Bashir and his associate, Hurriyat Conference (G) chairman Syed Ali Geelani, in a statement said, “Brutality of New Delhi has crossed all the limits, pushing youth to wall and then legalizing their killings.”
Geelani said, “For the past 71 years we have lived a life of uncertainty, chaos and harassment, have only shouldered the coffins of our dear ones, seen only death and destruction around. This gloomy situation has forced our high qualified scholars and intellectuals to take the extreme step. They prefer to be a rebel than to live a life of slavery.”
He said, “Pro-freedom people will always miss the sharp, focused and fertile brains like that of Manan and these shining diamonds are unparalleled assets of any nation particularly oppressed and suppressed like us. We are unfortunate that we lose them so early as their un-dented commitment and visionary intellect would help to smoothen our struggle for our rights.”
“Arresting, those who had came to condole his death is nothing but vengeance and can only be done by a biased and arrogant power, no matter how big it is,” Geelani said.
YASIN MALIK
Incarcerated chairman of Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) Yasin Malik , while paying rich tributes to the Dr Manan Bashir and Aashiq Hussain, said, “Dr Manan represents the soul and passion of our struggle for dignity though the loss of such a scholar is too painful for Kashmiri nation but a matter of pride too.”
“Manan Bashir Wani represents our passion for dignity and our cause. In his words: Kashmiris don’t feel dignity in death but feel dignity in fighting but when die whilst fighting the military control, feel dignity in that death too. How a nation, whose sons like Manan Bashir Wani are being snatched by tyrants, can vote in elections,” a JKLF spokesman quoted Malik as having said in his message from Sub Jail, Kothibagh, here.
Yasin Malik said, “Kashmiri youth have been pushed to wall as no space has been provided to them for peaceful dissent. They have been pushed towards the path of ultimate sacrifice. From Ishfaq Majid Wani to Burh Muzafar Wani and Manan Bashir Wani, story of passionate struggle and dignified death remains unchanged.”
“On daily basis we are hearing from representative’s of New Delhi that they want to kill militancy, not the militants but on daily basis we witness ruthless genocide of our youth by the forces,” he said.
“We appeal to the people to stay away from Municipality and Panchayat election and respect the sacrifices of our youth,” he said.
“Meanwhile, JKLF leaders and activists along with people in large numbers today managed to gather at Lal chowk and stage a protest against unrelenting killing spree, arrests and also against ongoing municipal election drama,” a JKLF spokesman said, adding that “JKLF leaders and activists also visited Chanapora, Natipora, Mehjoor Nagar, Ram Bagh and adjacent areas and addressed various gatherings and appealed people to boycott upcoming elections.”
