Welcoming the OIC General Secretary’s statement regarding the grim situation in Kashmir, Hurriyat (G) chairman Syed Ali Geelani said that OIC has rightly acknowledged the universally accepted fact about the disputed nature of Jammu and Kashmir and added that only resolutions and press briefings can’t sooth our wounds. Our daily bloodshed and merciless killings by Indian armed forces for the last 7 decades particularly, for the last 45 days, where whole population has been besieged and people tortured with all their might, demands concrete steps to pressurize India to stop these heinous crimes against us.
While affirming OIC’s observation that present movement in the Jammu and Kashmir is heading towards the plebiscite, Syed Ali Geelani said that our stand has always been that people of whole Jammu and Kashmir which existed in 1947 should be given the choice to decide about their future and the decision will be acceptable to all. Geelani further said that OIC should have been dipping deep into the problems and issues faced by Muslim Ummah and should have come to the rescue of suffering people, but unfortunately past experience with OIC has not been so encouraging.
