Chairman of Hurriyat Conference (G) Syed Ali Shah Geelani presided over Majlish Shoora (Executive Council) meeting of the conglomerate at Hyderpora.
In his presidential address, Geelani according to partystatement said “chaotic and confusing situation has panicked everyindividual. Increasing the forces deployment, rumors of tampering specialprovisions of state, suspension of Yatra, evacuating tourists, students andyatries has created a war-like situation.”
“Mainstream politicians are the real culprits ofhollowing these provisions just to grab luxurious for themselves and theirprogeny. Land grants bill was passed by them and their leaders even openly saidthat Article 370 is not a divine saying which cannot be altered. State land wasallotted to Shrine board and separate colonies to create state within the statewas proposed by these politicians, now they shed crocodile tears to protectthem,” Geelani said.
‘Those threatening Delhi from here bow their heads just withan embezzlement enquiry. Despite their decade old appeasement and obeying theirorders without applying their own minds, but even after surrendering every bitof their conscience and even faith, they are not trusted rather humiliated andthrown away,” he said.
“Although these provisions were existing on papersonly—still they have a historical relevance and are globally accepted . Rulerswant to do with these on paper hurdles to enforce demographic changes as theydid in 1947 in Jammu . We caution Delhi that they must not forget that this isnot 1947,” he said.
The meeting also condemned the confinement of HurriyatGeneral Secretary Gh. Nabi Sumji and Manzoor Ahmad Gazi.
