Ex­press­ing deep con­cern at the in­ci­dents of vi­o­lence against Kash­miri stu­dents, traders and pro­fes­sion­als in var­i­ous parts of In­dia, Tamil na­tion­al­ist leader See­man and his pro-Tamil party Naam Tami­lar Katchi strongly con­demns the hate at­tacks and urges Tamil brethren to rise to the oc­ca­sion and sup­port Kash­miris who are in need of any as­sis­tance.

Wel­com­ing the Supreme Court in­ter­ven­tion to pro­tect Kash­miris across In­dia, the Tamil na­tion­al­ist party Naam Tami­lar Katchi, in a state­ment to the me­dia has strongly con­demned the ha­tred and vi­o­lence be­ing spread un­der the pa­tron­age of the Bharatiya Janta Party. The pro-Tamil leader See­man has ap­pealed to all Tamil peo­ple to sup­port and en­sure safety of all Kash­miris.

The Naam Tami­lar Katchi has also the re­cent ar­rests of Kash­miri lead­ers and other Mus­lim lead­ers in Kash­mir.

“The Naam Tami­lar Katchi stands firm with our Kash­miri broth­ers and sis­ters. The party re­it­er­ates its po­si­tion that the con­flict in Kash­mir is a po­lit­i­cal con­flict and it should be re­solved po­lit­i­cally tak­ing into ac­count the as­pi­ra­tions of the peo­ple of Kash­mir.”

Speak­ing ex­clu­sively to The World Sikh News, the See­man  said, “I have ap­pealed to my party cadre to en­sure that no harm comes to any Kash­miri in Tamil Nadu and neigh­bour­ing states. In this re­gion, Kash­miri stu­dents and res­i­dents in dis­tress should con­tact Naam Tamil Katchi mem­bers and we will en­sure their safety.”

Re­spond­ing to the sup­port ren­dered by Sikh or­gan­i­sa­tions to Kash­miris, See­man said, “My Sikh brethren have shown ex­em­plary speed and hu­man­i­tar­ian spirit. Tamils should fol­low their Sikh brethren and sup­port Kash­miris.”

Wel­com­ing the in­ter­ven­tion of the Supreme Court of In­dia to en­sure safety and se­cu­rity of Kash­miris, NTK leader See­man said, “We have seen vi­o­lence and con­flicts in the past but such reprisal at­tacks are a new trend and must be busted at the ear­li­est. No con­sti­tu­tion al­lows act­ing out pa­tri­o­tism against in­no­cent peo­ple.”

“I ap­peal to all cadres of Naam Tami­lar Katchi to en­sure that no harm comes to any Kash­miri in Tamil Nadu and neigh­bour­ing states. Kash­miri stu­dents and res­i­dents in dis­tress should con­tact Naam Tamil Katchi mem­bers and we will en­sure their safety. Tamils must fol­low the hu­man­i­tar­ian spirit shown by our Sikh brethren.”

In an im­por­tant re­mark, he added, “the role of ed­u­ca­tional in­sti­tu­tions mon­i­tor­ing the so­cial me­dia ac­counts of Kash­miris or any­one dis­sent­ing against ma­jor­ity opin­ion is also a dan­ger­ous trend and such an at­tack on an in­di­vid­u­al’s lib­erty to have a dif­fer­ent opin­ion must be re­spected and al­lowed and not cur­tailed un­der any cir­cum­stances.  Such hy­per-sen­si­tiv­ity will de­mol­ish the de­mo­c­ra­tic cre­den­tials of this coun­try.”

Chastis­ing the Modi gov­ern­ment, the state­ment is­sued by NTK to the me­dia reads, “The world com­mu­nity is won­der­ing how Modi pro­poses to fight for Kash­mir but al­low his goons to at­tack the Kash­miris. The be­lated state­ment of PM Naren­dra Modi may ap­ply some balm on the wounds of the Kash­miris but the gov­ern­ment must act post-haste and halt the vi­cious and un­just acts by the BJP, RSS and other Sangh or­gan­i­sa­tions.”

Speak­ing to WSN, he said, “Every Kash­miri has a right to live free from fear and to re­side in any part of In­dia. I strongly urge the Cen­tral and all State Gov­ern­ments to act and en­sure the safety of Kash­miri stu­dents and traders across the coun­try im­me­di­ately with­out any de­lay.”
