Chairman Hurriyat (G) Syed Ali Geelani was today barred by the police from attending the Friday congregational prayers. Hurriyat (G) Chairman was arrested by the large contingent of the police force present outside his residence at the airport road at the time when he was heading towards Dargah Hazratbal where he was scheduled to offer Friday prayers with other pro-freedom leaders but the government used its state power and imposed strict curfew in the entire state to stop the people from marching towards Dargah Hazratbal. Addressing the media persons before his arrest, Syed Ali Geelani while reacting over the statement of the Indian home minister Rajnath Singh in the SAARC summit in Islamabad Pakistan in which he had said that “the terror sponsor countries should be isolated” said that “India is the largest terrorist country in the world and if anyone is needed to be isolated that is this very country”. In a statement issued to KNS, Syed Ali Geelani said that by issuing such statements, India actually want to hide its terrorist activities in the region.
The worst form of terrorism of all times has been the state terrorism and India is largest sponsor of state terrorism all over the country particularly in occupied Jammu & Kashmir. Syed Ali Geelani said that not only the people of Jammu Kashmir but the very citizens of India like Muslims, Christens, Sikhs, Dalits, Aadivasies (tribal people) are feeling the heat of the state terrorism of India. Syed Ali Geelani said that nobody has forgotten the government sponsored Gujarat carnage in 2002 where more than three thousand innocent and unarmed Muslims including children, women and an Indian parliament member were mercilessly burnt alive.Syed Ali Geelani said that India has broken all the records of oppression and repression and it is the leading nation in the world with human rights violations and this country has transformed the secularism into terrorism. Syed Ali Geelani said that if anybody has to witness the inhuman face of India, he should come and visit Jammu & Kashmir where the cruel armed forces of this country are mercilessly killing and eliminating the people of the state and where entire population is branded as terrorists.
The Hurriyat (G) Chairman said that today the pro-freedom leadership has called for a peaceful gathering at Dargah Hazratbal where we were scheduled to offer Friday congregational prayers and to pay homage to our martyrs. But the New Delhi used its military might to gag the peaceful and genuine voices of the Kashmiri people and turned the entire state into a military garrison.While taking dig at the state police, Geelani sahab cautioned that the anti-people and anti-movement police men should prepare themselves for the judgment day because they have crossed all limitations of oppression against their own people.The Hurriyat (G) Chairman also paid rich tributes to the courage and valor of the people of Doda, Banihal, Rajouri, Kishtiwar, Ramban and Pounch who are showing their affiliation with the ongoing freedom struggle.
