All Parties Hurriyat Conference during its executive body meeting held at Hurriyat headquarters in Srinagar has taken serious notice of Indian belligerence and its highhanded approach towards dealing the situation in held Kashmir. The meeting held under the chairmanship of Syed Ali Gilani deplored that instead of implementing a realistic and political approach to resolve the Kashmir dispute, India is following its obsessive dogma to prolong the illegal occupation. Gilani on the occasion castigated Indian authorities for its cohesive measures intended to suppress the voice of dissent in Kashmir. Voicing his concern over the continuous detention of Hurriyat leaders at Tihar jail the APHC chairman said that detainees were subjected to extreme vengeance. Condemning Indian authorities’ brutal tactics against youth, Gilani said, “Our youth and resistance leaderships are being caged on frivolous charges.
Mr. Gilani denounced the Indian occupation forces for promoting alcoholism in Kashmir saying “Forces are scandalously supplying drugs like brown sugar and liquor in every nook and corner of Kashmir”.
So far as the issue of promoting Alcoholism is concerned, the occupied valley has been in the eye of the storm since last several years. On one hand people are suffering from Indian oppression and suppression on daily basis while on the other fast spreading army bases/camps established in high and low of the valley have become yet another problem for the common Kashmiris. There are reports that these army camps, which have been deliberately setup near residential areas, are playing a role of facilitator in spreading Alcoholism in the society thereby providing youngsters free access to alcohol.
A study, conducted by an international NGO, Action Aid International on drug abuse in South Kashmir’s Islamabad district has revealed that Indian troops were involved in promoting alcoholism in the southern district. The study, which was conducted several years ago, said “about 45 percent of the district’s youth in the age group of 15-30 years are involved in drug abuse. Since then this illicit trade had unfortunately spread throughout the valley under the patronage of uniformed drug peddlers. This insidious campaign has turned into a devastating monster that is taking its heavy toll on Kashmiri society. It is quite alarming that occupation army has been patronizing this devastating campaign and the sinister design behind this systematic campaign is to destroy the youth of Kashmir that have been playing the role of a vanguard in the ongoing struggle for right to self-determination. A deliberate attempt to promote alcoholism, immorality amongst the youth of Kashmir speaks volumes about India’s ill-will against Kashmiris.
The growing drug abuse in the valley is in fact an inherent part of militarization, violence and massive military concentration in the troubled region. But Indian bid to destroy the social and human ethos of the Kashmiri society by resorting to such mean tactics reveals the reality as how low Indians can stoop to conquer Kashmiris.
