In a statement Geelani said that “insensitivity of the authorities is the sole reason for this unabated bloodshed. These youths are spilling their hot blood for the great and sacred cause of Kashmir and the entire nation of Kashmir is indebted to these martyrs for their ultimate sacrifice. It is the collective responsibility of the people of Kashmir and the leadership to take the ongoing movement to its ultimate realization.”
Hurriyat (G) chairman said that instead of taking measures to resolve long pending issue in its historical perspective, New Delhi wants to thrust it’s choice through barrel of gun.

This arrogance, haughtiness and persistent denial can’t hold water for long and Delhi has to come to terms with the writing on the wall, lest this unresolved and unaddressed issue can erupt and burst anytime, engulfing millions of people in this region.”
Meanwhile Geelani expressed his serious concern and anguish over the killing of 15 year old boy Suhail Ahmad Wani in DrugmullahKupwara and 28 students, who were wounded at a school in KakaporaPulwama in mysterious blasts.
