 So this is not our Eid, it is not Eid in Kashmir, it is not Eid in Jammu, it is not Eid it cannot be because it is against the Bhoberi Akhushri. This as I would want to retire it again and again, this is not a celebration, our narrative is not to celebrate, our narrative was to observe because they can be no Eid in Kashmir, they can be no Eid for anybody who belongs to that state and understands what that state has been through. The only thing that we could celebrate was the strength, the hope and perseverance that people of Jammu-Kashmir inherently have and to let the people know out and about that even in times of distress people of Jammu-Kashmir do stand together and we are in solidarity with people who are, we call our own back home and people who are here, who might feel alone at the time to observe the entire thing together, Eid is one of the biggest festivals for the dominant population of Muslims there and is being celebrated by not only the Muslim population but everybody residing there with out and out fervour. So I am sure there are no markets, there are no hugs there, there is no one to celebrate with so we are also not celebrating here but we do in a way moan, moan for not being able to talk to a family, moan for the entire undemocratic and inhumane attitude that the government of India has shown towards the state that they most dearly love, claim to love rather. Basically we have all gathered here to let it out that we are not celebrating, we are just observing, we are just making it known in common memory, in common history that there was a Eid that was celebrated without any news from loved ones, any news at all. Things are very bleak, what we are hearing from the national media are mainly false reports, there are some reports coming out of alternate media which are definitely scary and today after I think 8-9 days in the morning I was able to talk to a colleague who lives in a remote area, I won't mention the area and we were able to speak because the tower from Chandigarh catch is there and he told me that even in those areas where which have never seen militancy things are not good, army is everywhere not letting people go out for very long and what he also told me that most of the videos which are coming out are being made by the army and they are asking people who work for the army because there are people who are employed with the army, they are asking them to say that we are happy and everything is fine here so that is one version, there must be many other versions also. As we know that some helpline number has been given to the government by which they are able to speak to the people who are studying outside, but in that too there are so many difficult turns, so many long lines and when someone's turn comes then the army officer stands on the side and hears that there is a problem, if there is any information about the actual situation he is told that you just say that everything is fine here and more than that he has no permission to say anything. People have not been able to get back to their loved ones, people don't have no news from their loved ones and for Eid to be celebrated that way is specially desolate, it's specially desolate it's specially sorrowful, it's specially you know it wrenches your heart. We are quite perturbed by what's happening and it's a shame, it's an attack on the very federal structure of our country and diversity. Even if the majority was for the decision then it would have been very evident. You have literally locked down an entire valley with a population of more than what, 6-7 million and you have took all means of communications from them, you are not letting media travel around we are not just talking about Srinagar, like Kashmir valley has what 15 districts and nobody knows what is happening on the other parts in other districts. While it concerns the people of Kashmir today but I think nobody should be under any misconception that it's going to be restricted to Kashmir, in fact it hasn't been. The last few years we have seen how there have been continuous mob lynchings across the country how there have been continuous mob lynchings of ballads of Muslims and people from various marginalized communities have suffered for various reasons because of the policies of this government. So let's also be clear that today it's the people of Kashmir and the constitutional promise that was made to the people of Kashmir during the accession of Kashmir has been violated so grossly and so blatantly and if they can violate the constitution so blatantly today for Kashmir they can do it for anybody else, they will do it for anybody else. So let's be prepared and I think this is why it's important that people from different movements people from different marginalized communities, people working in different movements need to come together today, these are not individual struggles any longer. This is about these are struggles for the dignified lives of the people of India. My dear son, the whole day of motion will be a piece, we love you. He said while he dropped life, he will slow it down and dumps you and it will be torn. Everything is not so quiet. But if you remember right now, if you remember right now that I promise peace in your way, I will celebrate you forever.
