‘Questions the continuous detention of the Handwara girl’
SRINAGAR, Apr 28: Syed Ali Shah Geelani, chairman Hurriyat Conference (G), today called for protests after Friday prayers.
In a statement, he said the protests would be held against the continuous detention of Handwara girl, not arresting the security personnel involved in the murder of five youth in Handwara, unjust suspension of five government employees and not allowing the funeral prayers of Amanullah Khan.
Geelani said it the worst form of “state terrorism.” He said new chapter of the PDP-BJP government has “unleashed a reign of terror and hardships in the state and the army and police has been given a free hand.”
Hurriyat (G) chairman said the government forces killed five civilians in Handwara and it remains unattended till date.
The government announced an enquiry commission in an old traditional way but no serious efforts were made in this regard.
“Immediately after the murder of five persons, the authorities removed the forces bunker from the Handwara Chowk on which the pro-Indian politicians held celebrations and also tried to take its credit,” he said.
Geelani said it is the devious politics and these types of politicians have nothing to do with the life and death of the common masses. He also expressed his sorrow over the intellect of those people who vote or support these politicians.
Hurriyat (G) chairman said that until our nation will learn from its mistakes and remove its weaknesses and they will learn to differentiate between right and wrong, “reaching our goal will get delayed.”
Syed Ali Geelani also raised question over the continuous detention of the Handwara girl and said the unnecessary custody of the affected girl puts a big question mark over the authenticity of the video clip which was recorded in the police station and which was aimed at diverting the attention of the people from the innocent killings. “Now the truth is slowly coming to fore that the police under a well thought out plan had tried to mislead the people and are still covering the truth,” he said.
