From day first and with the inception of coalition administration in state we are reeling under worst type of state terrorism and situation in state has turned from bad to worse and killing graph has suddenly gone up, said Syed Ali Geelani. The state authorities are denying any political space and people are not allowed to raise their genuine voices, said Geelani in his statement.Commenting over incomparable force and the continuous use of pellet gun against peaceful protestors, Syed Ali Geelani said dozens of protestors were showered pellets. Though pellet gun has been declared a lethal weapon and dozens of people have lost their eyesight, however administration exhibiting its arrogance and highhandedness has not stopped the use of this lethal weapon, said Syed Ali Geelani.Neither we have urged nor unnecessarily we ask people to resent or follow strike calls, instead circumstances force us to opt for these peaceful measures, said Syed Ali Geelani.They are creating deliberately disturbances in state and they are hell-bent to cripple our economy, Syed Geelani said, while referring to the sinister designs adopted by RSS led regime & in his appeal to people asked to understand their follies.
