Hurriyat Conference (G) chairman Syed Ali Geelani has condoled the demise of Muhammad Sidiq Bhat maternal uncle of Dr G Muhammad Bhat, who is incarcerated at Tihar Jail for past nine years.
“Families of prisoners particularly those who are being kept thousands miles away from their homes have a very tough and painful life and if some dear one departs in between, the pain and agony gets multi-fold for such families,” Geelani said in a statement.
He said, “Despite being political prisoners they are denied every right guaranteed in the national or international jail manual. Revengeful attitude of the rulers in Delhi has crossed every limit of heartlessness and insensitivity by prolonging their stay in jails.”
“We share the grief with Dr Ghulam Muhammad Bhat and the bereaved family and pray for eternal peace of deceased and courage for the family to bear this painful loss,” he added.
Chairman of Tehreek-e-Hurriyat Muhammad Ahsraf Sehrai has also expressed grief over the demise of Bhat and expressed solidarity with the bereaved family.
Meanwhile, Hurriyat (G) spokesman paid rich tributes to late Advocate Ghulam Mohideen Regu on his 21th death anniversary. “The case file was shelved, enquiry closed and those involved in his murder are roaming free,” the spokesman said.
