Announcement about troop cut meaningless: Geelani
‘PILLAI’S STATEMENT POLITICAL’
GK NEWS NETWORK
Srinagar, Jan 15: Reacting to the statement of Home Secretary GK Pillai about demilitarization, Chairman of Hurriyat Conference (G) Syed Ali Shah Geelani on Saturday demanded complete withdrawal of forces from the state.
In a statement here Geelani termed the claims of proposed demilitarization as traditional political approach.
He said that announcements of troop cut are meaningless, until India accepts "our demand" to withdraw its forces completely.
“These types of announcements are superficial and there is nobody to monitor whether these decision are implemented or not .Whether forces are on borders or civilian areas it doesn’t have meaning for Kashmir,” he said ,adding that that struggle would continue until last soldier is on the soil of Kashmir.
“Our demand is that India should accept that Kashmir as a dispute,” he said.
Terming shifting of responsibility on revoking AFPSA to State government as joke, he said this was an attempt to delay the matter.
“The state Government is confined to civil secretariat and has nothing to do with these issues .Omar Abdullah has himself said that New Delhi can take decision on the matter,” he added.
