Yakub Memon hanged for being Muslim, says pro-freedom Kashmiri group

Srinagar: In a written statement on July 30, the All Party Hurriyat Conference expressed deep sorrow and grief over the hanging of Yakub Memon. The pro-freedom Kashmiri groups said that the intelligence officers interrogating Yakub Mamon had although recommended that he should not be given capital punishment but by rejecting his mercy petition, the “communal and fascist” government of India has once again proved that there is no place for any mercy or sympathy with the Muslims in this country and hurting or harming them in any way is treated as service to the “national cause”.

Hurriyat said that if Indian Judiciary is providing justice on the bases of equality, then the criminals involved in the bloodshed of Samjhauta Express, Mecca Masjid and Malegaon blasts and Gujarat like incidents should also be hanged and the secular tag of this country should be protected by punishing the culprits involved in the coldblooded murder of thousands of innocent people in these terrorist activities.

Hurriyat said that the hanging of the Yakub Mamon has reopened the wounds of the Kashmiri nation and today the memories of the Shaheed Mohammad Maqbool Bhat and Mohammad Afzal Gooru are badly striking our hearts and minds who were hanged for no crime and whose dead bodies too were denied to their families.

In a Thursday’s press release, Hurriyat spokesman Ayaz Akbar said that by hanging the Yakub Mamon, the Indian government has once again confirmed their anti-Muslim attitude.

He said that Yakub Mamon had himself returned to India from Dubai and surrendered before the government and had cooperated in the investigation of the Mumbai blasts in an assurance that he will be forgiven for anything. If anything like morality or ethics would have been present in the policy makers of New Delhi, then they would not have rejected the mercy petition of the Yakub Mamon in any way.

Hurriyat spokesman further said that the people directly involved in the Samjhauta Express, Mecca Masjid and Malegaon blasts and who have butchered thousands of innocent and unarmed Muslims during the Gujarat riots are being granted bails by the Indian courts saying that no concrete evidences are available against them.

Hurriyat spokesman said that the secular and democratic claims of India are getting badly exposed day by day and this country is on its way to become a Hindu Rashtra. It is a serious crime to be a Muslim in this country and the person having strong anti-Muslim sentiments is elevated to the higher posts of the country, he added.
