Geelani expresses solidarity with Sikh community

Srinagar: The Hurriyat Conference (G) chairman Syed Ali Shah Geelani Monday expressed solidarity with the Sikh community on the 27th anniversary of the massacre of Sikhs in the wake of murder of former prime minister Indra Gandhi in 1984.
 Geelani, in a statement today, alleged that the minorities in India were not safe. He alleged that top leaders of Congress party had led the Hindu rioters against Sikhs in whole India in 1984. “Thousands of Sikhs including women and children were massacred brutally in the anti-Sikh riots,” he said, adding that the massacre of Sikh community is a blot on the ‘so-called’ secular face of India.
 Geelani said the minorities needed to build a close rapport with one another to ensure their protection and start serious deliberations to consolidate their mutual relations.
