Hurriyat (G) chairman Syed Ali Geelani Saturday held an Advisory Council meeting (Majlis-e-Shura) today at Hyderpora residence and appealed youth to make the proposed ‘million march’ a success by promoting it through wall paintings, posters, Internet and social networking websites.The party spokesman in a statement issued to GNS said that Geelani while chairing the advisory meeting directed all the Hurriyat constituents to suspend their respective party engagements and work for the success of the march."While terming the Million March a historic event, Geelani in his presidential address said that the BJP-PDP coalition government wants to change the discourse of the Kashmir issue and they want to mislead the whole world that the situation in Kashmir has changed now," the statement said.
In a run to become more loyal than the king, Mufti Mohammad Sayeed is extending his every possible help to the communal and fascist forces of India, it said.The proposed Million March, Geelani said, will be a strong and befitting reply to “evil and wicked designs” of Mufti Sayeed and the Sangh Parivar.“It will also be a message to the world that Kashmiri people have not given up their age old demand for plebiscite which NC tried to bury in 1975,” he said.
"The scheduled Million March will make history and will also refresh the memories of the mass gatherings of 2008.”Geelani appealed all the Kashmiris who are living in foreign countries to organize small gatherings at their respective places in support of the said march on that day to express their solidarity with freedom movement.He also appealed the Muslims of the Chenab Valley and Pir Panjal region to send their representatives to Srinagar to participate in the proposed Million March.Geelani asked members to aware the general public about the importance and significance of the march by running door-to-door campaigns“Explain to them that it is the day of referendum,” the statement Geelani as saying.The Ulema and Islamic scholars should also play their role in making the march a success, the statement said.
