Game About To Be Over For Syed Ali Geelani And his Ilk In Kashmir
Jammu and Kashmir-based separatist Syed Ali Geelani is now realizing that the game they have been playing with the people of India is now coming to an end. So now as a last gasp he is once again trying to frighten New Delhi regarding change in special status of Jammu and Kashmir.
The separatist Hurriyat Conference’s executive council held a meeting on Sunday which was presided over by its chairman Syed Ali Geelani at Hyderpora Srinagar.
In his presidential address, Geelani talked about the tense situation in Kashmir.
“Increasing the forces’ deployment, rumours of tampering with special provisions of state, suspension of (Amarnath) Yatra, evacuating tourists, students and yatris has created a war-like situation,” he said.
Appealing to people, particularly the youth, the separatist leader is again trying to incite the youth of Kashmir by asking them to be “ready for a long and tough struggle”.
There is tension among the separatists and the terrorist groups in Jammu and Kashmir over the government’s decision to curtail the Amarnath yatra and to deploy a large number of troops in the valley. Political parties in Kashmir are suspicious that the central government could be preparing the ground to scrap Articles 35A and 370, which give special status to Jammu and Kashmir.
Geelani, who heads a faction of the vile separatist Hurriyat, said that although these provisions existed on papers only—still they have a historical relevance and are “globally accepted. By globa he means only Pakistan.l
The separatist leader also slammed mainstream politicians saying they are the “real culprits” of hollowing state’s special provisions.
Joining in, separatist leader Mirwaiz Umar Farooq wrote on twitter: “Kashmiri people have always faced any kind of situation bravely. And this time also, with the help of Almighty, we will fight. Stop worrying, keep your spirits high and show unity.”
