Hurriyat Conference (G) chairman Syed Ali Shah Geelani on Friday demanded the authorities to return the mortal remains of both Mohammad Maqbool Bhat and Mohamad Afzal Guru.
The spokesman quoted the Geelani saying “although it is purely a human issue, India is very reluctant to this demand thereby violating all the principles of ethics and human values.”

Seeking the mortal remains of Mohammad Maqbool Bhat and Mohammad Afzal Guru, Hurriyat Conference said that nation today pays homage to the valiant son of soil & while referring to the last letter written by Shaheed Mohammad Afzal Guru, Hurriyat Chairman said that it clearly illustrates that he was an ideological person and his emotions were having the backing of faith, intellect and conscience. Hailing Mohammad Afzal Guru for his valour and commitment, Hurriyat said that he emerged as an ideal, symbol of dedication and commitment.
Hurriyat Conference said that they sacrificed their precious lives for the better future of the nation. He is an ideal and his determination and dedication set precedence for our young generation.
