Syed Ali Geelani on Tuesday while expressing his deep concern over killings in south Kashmir said that though people in state peacefully voiced for their political rights, how­ever they are being silenced with the power of forces.

The spokesman said while paying his heartfelt tributes to Sufail Ahmad Bhat, injured in Shopian Shootout, Syed Ali Geelani said that our youth lay their lives to end the violence in their nation and putting a huge responsibility on our shoulders to honour these sacrifices and take the movement to its logical end.

Reminding authorities their commitment with people in the state, Geelani said that despite carrying bloodshed and arbitrary measures and turning besieged state into a battle field, they failed to break our resolve, saying since past seven decades hundreds and thousands of people were killed by government forces. They have no right to call India as a big democracy as they have forcibly engaged the state, surpassing all ethics and trampled all basic rights of people, Geelani added.

Authorities have made a commitment to resolve the Kashmir issue through internationally acknowledged right to self-determination of people of J&K,” Geelani said but instead of fulfilling their commitment their forces have let loose a reign of “terror”.

Strongly decrying the authorities for their power of arrogance, Syed Ali Geelani said that they have turned the state into a big military garrison, saying people are killed, caged, maimed, tortured and molested.

Voicing serious concern over the spree of killings at the hands of Indian troops, Geelani reiterated that their policy can’t deter people from pursuing the sacred movement.

Expressing the grief and sorrow on the death of a tourist  Thurumani of Chennai as a result of stone pelting, Hurriyat chairman Syed Ali Geelani said that we have been shouldering the coffins of our loved ones on daily basis but never can be silent on this indiscipline and hooliganism, by some unruly youth.

Sympathizing with the grieved family he said that words fall short to console and condole the family for such a tragic loss and we as a nation feel not only sorry but ashamed as well.
