I will like to clear them that it is not so. We have not our separate agenda regarding the freedom struggle of Kashmir. Ours is a pure socio religious organisation and politics is not our motto. This Job has been assigned to resistance leadership and whatever decision comes from there we will follow it. Tomorrow if the leadership will change the decision, we will still obey it,” he said.He said that organization has never supported elections in Jammu and Kashmir, before insurgency or after this period and will continue to do so till the Kashmir issue is not solved permanently once for all.“We have made already made our position clear on Jammu and Kashmir being a disputed territory. Elections cannot resolve the Kashmir dispute and hence election is a futile exercise,” he added.He said that New Delhi has been committing atrocities on innocent civilians in Kashmir from 1947 and JeA will not remain silent on the human right violations and will continue to raise voice against it.“Be it Machil fake encounter or 2010 killings of youth, New Delhi has been trying to strengthen its rule in Kashmir in many ways. We condemn every atrocity which has been committed on people living here,” he said.Pertinently separatists have asked people to boycott upcoming assembly election.
