Srinagar, Aug 15: Maintaining that the ongoing agitation has reached a decisive phase due to the sacrifices rendered by the Kashmiris, Chairman of Hurriyat Conference (G), Syed Ali Shah Geelani, on Sunday vowed to take the movement to its logical conclusion.
 Geelani whose conglomerate is spearheading the ongoing “Quit Jammu and Kashmir
 Movement” today released a 10-day protest program. It comprises strikes, sit-ins and relaxation for full days on Tuesdays and for a half day on Friday.
 “The movement has reached a decisive phase. Kashmiris have taken over the mantle of achieving the right to self-determination.
From 9-year old boy to 65 year old man, over 60 people have sacrificed their lives for the just cause. No power or military might can stop the public revolution. I salute the courage and resilience of Kashmiris,” Geelani who is undergoing treatment in SKIMS Soura told Greater Kashmir. 
 Geelani accused New Delhi of trying to crush the ongoing movement. “The troopers and policemen have become so brutal that even after firing bullets on the youth, they ruthlessly thrash them to ensure their death. This is sheer barbarism,” he said.
 The veteran leader expressed gratitude to people of Muslims areas in Jammu region and Uri for extending support to the ongoing agitation. 
 Geelani urged people to observe strike and stage a sit-in from Fajar to Asar prayers on Monday August 16. He asked Imams to recite Qunat-e-Nazila after the prayers. After the Taraweh prayers, people have been asked to register protest through loud-speakers of local Masjids. On the same day, the employees have been urged to donate Rs 100 towards Bait-ul-Malls in their respective localities. 
 The veteran leader said there would be no strike on Tuesday August 17. However, he urged transporters and people to hoist black flags on their vehicles, scooters and motorcycles.
 “After purchasing essential items, people should visit the hospitals to express sympathies with the injured persons,” he said.
 On Wednesday, August 18, people of Srinagar have been urged to march towards HMT to pay tributes of those killed in the locality. Similarly, the people of Varmul, Bandipore Kupwara, Islamabad to respective district headquarters and houses of those killed in troopers and police firing.  People have been urged to display ‘Go India Go’ slogans on placards and on internet social networking sites.
