Lamenting authorities for denying the political space to leadership. Geelani said our youth and resistance leadership is being caged on frivolous charges.
He urged the nation to follow the teachings of Quran and Sunnah and while hailing the youth for their passion, commitment and enthusiasm towards freedom, Geelani said that people need to exhibit utmost steadfastness and stand united. “It is the secret of our victory against the forces, who are hell-bent on creating confusion by hatching conspiracies, and promoting waywardness,” he said.

Meanwhile, Sayed Ali Geelani condemned forces action in Jamia Masjid, saying the brutal authorities are hell-bent to carry on bloodshed. I strongly condemn the police excesses in Jamia Masjid and surrounding areas, Geelani added.
