Huriyat Conference (G) Chairman Syed Ali Geelani while welcoming the return of the Kashmiri Pandits to valley, Wednesday cautioned that the issuance of the separate lands to the community is fraught with the dangerous consequences and the same shall be opposed at large.Geelani while addressing people at Airport road of the summer capital here stated that deliberate attempts are being made to disintegrate Kashmir’s ongoing resistance movement by launching the hidden attacks on Kashmir’s tradition, culture and history. He stated that Pandits are the part of Kashmir’s society and that they will always be welcomed in their homeland. “But here I want to clarify that once they are being offered separate homes at separate places, the same will be unacceptable and shall be opposed at large by the resistance leadership.”
He also launched a scathing attack against GOI over the reports that the PaK refugees in Jammu shall be permanently settled in Jammu. The Huriyat (G) chairman stated that such moves will be countered by the Huriyat leadership and that his amalgam will come up with the detailed stand before the masses in the near future. He also termed the decision of the state government over the enhancement in retirement age as an ‘election gimmick’, stating that the damage control exercise is now a futile thing for the present dispensation. “Also I want to clear that PDP is another face of the Congress and their slogan of change I nothing sans a deception.”
