How about the children & grand children of geelani, under which circumstances they do not join the terrorists & why don’t they shun government jobs. For how many decades they can deceive and befool the Kashmiri public. A day will come when they will run to Indian Government for safety but it will be too late. After all we cannot ignore that God is watching them
