SRINAGAR: of All Parties Hurriyet Conference (APHC) Chairman, Syed Ali Gilani, strongly reacting to the imposition of a ban on internet services in the territory for a period of one month has said that the puppet authorities are pushing the people to stone age.
Syed Ali Gilani in a statement said that a ban on internet was one more act of state terrorism and another ploy to cover up the atrocities of Indian forces in IoK.“There is no justification to deny access to social media and it tantamount to denial of fundamental rights,” he said.
The APHC Chairman ridiculed the puppet authorities for their lame excuse wherein they attributed the prevailing volatile situation with social media and said that instead of addressing the basic cause of political uncertainty in the occupied territory they were entangled with issues of no importance and off-shoots arising out of that, KMS reported.
Syed Ali Gilani said that deteriorating situations were there since Indian forces occupied Jammu and Kashmir and for last 70 years, Kashmiri people were yearning for their right to freedom.
It is a lame excuse to attribute present situation with social media, he said. “How come ban on internet will bring peace to Kashmir? It won’t help you and the only option left is to ascertain the people’s aspiration and these patchworks, cosmetic approach and restricting access to social media will prove counterproductive,” he added.
