Srinagar, Sep 18 (KNS): Hurriyat Conference (G) convened an extraordinary meeting of Majlis-e-Shoora, presided over by its chairman, Syed Ali Geelani, at his Hyderpora residence.
The meeting as per the statement issued to KNS took stock of the latest political situation with reference to the ongoing movement for right to self-determination.
The meeting resolved that Kashmir dispute is inherited to the division of India in 1947 when except Jammu and Kashmir, rest of the states of United India decided their fate, by joining either to India or Pakistan.
The meeting termed Kashmir issue as a political and humanitarian issue to be settled by exercising free and fare plebiscite.
In his presidential address, Geelani referring to the annals of Kashmir history, regretted the role of Britishers to “facilitate the Indian military occupation by resorting to delaying tactics in implementing the right to self-determination as the only democratic and peaceful formula for the permanent resolution of this issue.”
Geelani also regretted the “dubious role played by some crooked leaders of Kashmir to help India in its occupation of Kashmir.”
Addressing the meeting, Geelani advised the members of the Majlis Shoora ro preach Islamic teachings in letter and spirit for eradicating the social evils, consumption of drugs and other immoral activities spreading in our society in the grab of modernism.
“Our noble character as a good Muslim is a surety for divine help,” said Geelani while stressing on the need of the time to follow the guidelines of Holy Quran.
Highlighting the election boycott to the upcoming Municipal and Panchayat polls, he urged the freedom loving people to stay away from the elections at any cost as “it has been used as a tool of subjugation, changing demography and tinkering of state subject law in addition to plunder of economic assets of the state.”
Blaming pro-India political parties for the ongoing ‘holocaust, vandalizing of property and widespread chaos and intimidation faced by the people of Kashmir’, Geelani expressed hope that the people of Kashmir shall never permit such gullible elements to deceive them anymore.
Paying tributes to those who laid their precious lives for the sacred mission during the ongoing movement, Geelani pledged to carry this sacred mission to its logical conclusion.
He also saluted the resolve and patience of all incarcerated leaders and activists languishing in hell turned jails in and outside the state. The meeting was attended by Gh. Nabi Sumji, Shahid Salim, Syed Mohammad Shafi, Mohammad Yasin Ataie, Bilal Ahmad Sidiqui, Molvi Bashir Ahmad, Gulzar Ahmad, Nisar Hussain Rather, Yasmeen Raja, Zamrooda Habib, Amir-e-Hamza Shah, Khawaja Firdous Wani, Imtiyaz Ahmad Shah and Ghulam Ahmad Gulzar.
