Suppressing elected voices insult to Gandhian legacy: Inam Un Nabi

Srinagar, Oct 2: Awami Itihaad Party (AIP) Chief Spokesperson Inam Un Nabi said that the true tribute to Mahatma Gandhi on his birth anniversary and the real spirit of Dusshera lies in standing for truth, defeating injustice and upholding the dignity of every human being. Inam was reacting to the hunger strike of incarcerated MP from Baramulla, Engineer Rashid, who is on his second day of protest inside Tihar Jail, said a press release.

Inam Un Nabi said, “While the nation celebrates Gandhi Jayanti with ceremonies and Dusshera with symbolic triumph of good over evil, Er Rashid has chosen the path of Gandhian protest hunger strike to remind the rulers of the pain, humiliation and denial of justice faced by the people of Jammu and Kashmir.

Yesterday Er Rashid wrote to Bapu, recalling how Gandhi Ji once saw Kashmir as a beacon of hope when the subcontinent was burning in communal flames. Today, that very Kashmir is branded anti-national, communal and silenced. Er Rashid’s letter to Bapu is not just a message from jail; it is the cry of an entire people.”
