SRINAGAR: Recalling the sacrifices rendered by Muslims of Jammu in 1947, the Jammu and Kashmir Peoples League chairman Mukhtar Ahmad Waza said, “massacre of over three lakh Muslims at Jammu on 6th November, 1947 is the blackest day of human history.”
”November 6, 1947 represents a blackest day of human history when Lakhs of Jammu Muslims, driven out of their homes, were butchered by communal fascist forces patronized by rulers of that time.
Jammu massacre in 1947 reminds us the brutal and criminal face of fascism and the criminal silence of international community on these kinds of massacres exposes the duplicity and double standards of it,” he said.
“The people who were massacred at Jammu in 1947 stood for the freedom of Jammu Kashmir and by killing more than three hundred thousand of them brutally, fascist forces changed the demography of Jammu region completely. When all this was happening in Jammu, Kashmiri Muslims stood for communal harmony as taught by their religion Islam, and despite provocations safeguarded their non Muslim brethren living in Kashmir,” he said.
Terming the sacrifices of Jammu Muslims for freedom of Jammu Kashmir as a glorious page of “resistance against oppression”, the JKPL chairman Mukhtar Waza said, “No one can forget these sacrifices.
