Geelani expresses satisfaction over pro-freedom, religious parties’ stand on elections

Srinagar: While expressing satisfaction and happiness over the stand adopted by many pro-freedom and religious organizations with respect to the election drama, chairman Hurriyat Conference (G) Syed Ali Geelani said that the election drama doesn’t hold any importance and credibility, which is going to be held in Jammu and Kashmir in the presence of more than 7.5 lakh Indian forces.
According to a statement issued to KNS, he said that these elections are merely a military operation rather than a democratic process which have a direct involvement of Indian Home Ministry and secret agencies.
While appealing the people to completely boycott the upcoming election drama, Geelani said that the votes asked for water and electricity are used by India as a tool against our sacred movement by presenting it in the International forums as a referendum in its favour.
Geelani has said that Kashmiris are not against the democracy or democratic setup, but Kashmir is a conflict zone which has been forcibly occupied by India. “Kashmir is not an issue of good or bad governance which can be solved by replacing the rulers or faces but it is actually the matter of future of 1.5 crore people who have been promised at National as well as International forums that they will be given a chance to decide their future which have not been fulfilled so for.”
 He said that the people who term the election drama as non issue, actually get deceived by the cunning policy of India. Geelani although expressed his satisfaction over the stand of many pro-freedom and religious organizations with respect to the election drama but he expressed his surprise over the silence of some other organizations who are still undecided whether to support or oppose this election drama.
“It is very sad that the organizations are working day and night to propagate their sects and schools of thought, but they maintain silence over the collective national and religious issues.”
The pro-freedom leader expressed his surprise over the reports that some heads of these organizations have secretly got affiliated with the pro-Indian parties and they are in good relation and moving with some important bureaucrats of the government.
Hurriyat chairman have clearly said that there are only two options with the political or religious organizations of Kashmir i.e. either pro-Indian or Pro-freedom. The people who are on the fence and don’t maintain a clear-cut policy on Kashmir or committing a crime against their nation and religion and the silence of these people hardens this impression that they are the secret agents of Indian government and are working secretly from a very long time to harm the Kashmir cause and for this they get benefits and favours. (KNS)
