Stone-pelting un-Islamic: Soz

ASKS GEELANI TO CHANGE HIS STAND

Srinagar, July 21: Asking separatists to shun violence and join talks, State Congress president Saifuddin Soz on Wednesday said that stone-pelters had taken entire Kashmir as hostage.
 “Youth should refer to Islamic literature. Once they go through it they will come to know that stone pelting is un-Islamic,” a vernacular news agency KNS quoted Soz as having said.   
  “They (stone pelters)  have taken entire Kashmir as hostage and have made lives of people hellish by instigating violence. People are not happy with hartals, but it has become a compulsion for them,” he added.
 Questioning the sincerity of separatist, Soz said, “They go to Delhi to meet Prime Minister and refrain from meeting him in Srinagar and give strike call on his visit.”
 He urged Hurriyat Conference (G) Chairman Syed Ali Shah Geelani to change his stand. “I want ailing leader to spend rest of his life with his family and not in jail,” he said.
 Defending the imposition of curfew in valley, he said that precious lives are being saved by this step and troops and forces have to work under the civil administration.
