Geelani appeals for peace in Rajouri
Calls Togadia ‘Psychiatric Patient’
Srinagar, Mar 16: Calling Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) leader Parveen Togadia a ‘psychiatric patient’, Chairman Hurriyat Conference (G) Syed Ali Shah Geelani has urged the religious communities in Rajouri to maintain peace and calm and not fall prey to what he said the “nefarious designs” of New Delhi in disturbing the communal harmony in the state.
In a statement to KNS, Geelani urged people to maintain communal harmony. “You must maintain the ages old communal harmony and disapprove the designs of the policy makers in New Delhi who work day and night to dupe the ongoing movement as a Hindu-Muslim clash,” Geelani said.
Blaming state government for allowing Togadia to enter Rajouri and deliver a “hate speech”, Geelani said, “The real culprit is the state administration who allowed a psychiatric patient like Togadia to enter Rajouri.”
However, he was quick to add, “Even though it seems the handiwork of Togadia but he is not all alone in creating the trouble. There are plenty of people and policy makers in New Delhi who are working round the clock to malign the movement.”
Geelani vowed that Kashmiris have been the ambassadors of communal harmony and brotherhood since ages.
The Hurriyat (G) chairman appealed people of both the communities to understand what he said the conspiracies of the fundamentalist powers and make very possible effort to live happily and with mutual coordination.
