Parents hold protest, urge Geelani to call off shutdown

Srinagar: A group of parents today protested outside the Governor’s house in Srinagar against separatist Syed Ali Geelani for giving continuous shutdown calls. They said the education of their children was at stake as they had not attended classes for the last 112 days of unrest.“When the children of separatist leaders appear in exams and make their career safe, why is the future of our children being jeopardised?” asked one of the protesting parents.“We want our children to go to school and appeal to Geelani to call off the strike,” they said. — TNS
