Social activist, Swami Agnivesh, while talking to newsmen on the occasion said, “I regret that Indian politicians are reacting to the Kashmir dispute from their offices in New Delhi. At a time when human rights violations in valley are on rise and 65 innocent people have lost their lives, the Indian government is not reaching out to the victimised Kashmiri society.”
Criticising the conduct of Indian forces, he said, “We have seen police and CRPF deployment all across the valley and one can understand who the killer is. It is absolute violation of human rights, which in no way is justifiable.”

“We condemn such acts and feel the pain of every Kashmiri. People have every right to protest but it is unfortunate that they are being killed by the forces and the authorities seem to have lost their control over their police and CRPF,” he added.
“We will carry a message from here and make every Indian to listen to it. The Prime Minister and Home Minister of India should have addressed the grievances after the killing spree. I appeal the mass leaders to join hands against the atrocities inflicted on innocent Kashmiris,” Agnivesh said.

Rubbishing the autonomy and self-rule proposals, the APHC Chairman also stressed the need for fixing short and long-term goals for the current movement. “People of Kashmir have amply evidenced that they don’t mind sacrificing even their blood in fighting for their rights,” Mirwaiz said.
He said that the ongoing uprising had, besides India, also brought down a lot of pressure on the international community for resolution of the Kashmir dispute. “Those people who had wrongly concluded that everything was fine in Kashmir after the elections must have seen that even those people who participated in elections too are now agitating on the roads,” Mirwaiz added.
The APHC Chairman said that participation of people in elections or their seeking of jobs had something to do with their day-to-day problems of survival but linking it with the larger questions pertaining to their political future was wrong and India media and intelligentsia must bear it in mind.
Talking about the “Quit Kashmir Movement" by the APHC (G) Chairman, Syed Ali Gilani, against massive human rights violations in the occupied territory, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq said that they supported the agitation.
