Ridiculing CM for her biased and partial statement, JRL said that for the lust for power and privileges, Mehbooba is unable to feel the sufferings and pain, people facing in Kashmir.
The leadership reminded Mehbooba Mufti and said that people in Kashmir safeguarded the highest values of mutual brotherhood, accord and tranquility while in communal riots people in entire subcontinent were being brutally massacred in the communal riots and even in Jammu five lakh Muslims were slaughtered by these Hindu fanatical groups.
We didn’t believe in retribution and even in such horrendous situations, we maintained mutual harmony and not a single soul was killed or harassed, said JRL and added that it is because of religious teachings, patience, social and human values that we follow and adhere to, that despite gloomy situations around, we maintained mutual harmony.
Joint resistance leadership while commenting over the prevailing situations in some parts of Jammu, said that minorities and particularly Muslims are harassed and intimidated by fanatical forces.
They are threatened of situations like that of 1947 riots when lakhs of muslims were massacred and these Hindu extremists are waving and brandishing their weapons and organizing rallies to terrorize minorities in Jammu and contrary to this the people in Kashmir are following their age-old tradition of mutual understanding and communal harmony.
Leadership blamed Mehbooba Mufti for issuing statements to gain favors from her coalition partners and added that contrary to this, these forces are hellbent to
do away with this century-old religious tolerance in Jammu and Kashmir.
