He appealed people observe strike on July 19 and 20. He said that soon after the Friday prayers, funeral prayers in-absentia would be offered for the martyrs of Gool, Ramban in Jamia Masjid Srinagar followed by a protest march.

Mirwaiz has also appealed the committees overlooking the affairs of Masjids in Jammu and Kashmir to offer in-absentia prayers for the Gool martyrs and stage peaceful demonstration against the cold blooded murders by Indian forces following the Friday prayers.

He said the desecration of holy Quran was unacceptable to Muslims come what may, adding, the blame for the ‘anti-Islamic activities’ by the Indian forces falls on the state authorities.

He said that till Kashmir is not demilitarized, black laws are not revoked such incidents would continue to happen.

The Hurriyat (M) Chairman said that the India is involved in genocide of innocent Kashmiris. He said that the revelations of three youth who were taken to Doda region by the army agents should serve as an eye opener in that regard.

Geelani: Gool Incident Will Infuse New Life In Movement

Expressing his deep anger and resentment over the unfortunate incident at Gool Ghulab Gadh Ramban, Hurriyat Conference (G) Chairman Syed Ali Shah Geelani has called for a complete shutdown and valley wide protests on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

In a statement  Geelani while demanding strict punishment for BSF personnel involved in desecration of Holy Qur’an and responsible for killing said, “Though our basic target is the complete withdrawal of armed forces from the State but to prevent incidents like Gool Ghulab Gadh, we demand immediate removal of all BSF and army camps from civilian populated areas and their withdrawal to barracks”.

Terming the incident as worst example of state terrorism Geelani said that India is not only murdering Muslims in Jammu and Kashmir but also is at open war with their religion. “It is totally unbearable and to protest against such incident is obligatory for Muslims as prayers and fasting. Muslims can tolerate everything but to desecrate Qur’an or hurt their religious sentiments is never acceptable at any cost,” Geelani said.

Paying glorious tributes to those martyred during protests, the Hurriyat Chairman said that “history repeats itself”. “In 1931, Muslims of Jammu, by protesting against the desecration of Holy Qur’an, laid foundation for the freedom movement in Jammu and Kashmir. Today, after 82 years, these honorable and dignified Muslims again laid their lives by protesting against the shameful incident,” he said.

Syed Ali Shah Geelani said that Ramban incident should invoke a new spirit of freedom movement among us and we should send a clear message to News Delhi that it cannot prolong its illegal occupation in Jammu and Kashmir.

He said on one hand Kashmiris are engaged in providing hospitality to Hindu pilgrims “as it is our religious duty but on the other hand Indian forces are killing our people at will and have killed more than half a dozen innocents who were offering Taraweeh prayers besides injuring dozens by indiscriminate firing.”

The JKLF chairman said that every member of ruling coalition in Jammu Kashmir and each assembly member is directly responsible for these murders “as it is these cowards and honorless people who are appointed just to safeguard these killer forces.” While condemning the killings in Gool Malik he called for a complete shutdown and Lal Chowk Chalo on Friday..

Calling for complete shutdown on Friday, Shah made it clear that “more India will inflict its brutalities on Kashmiris the more passionate about freedom they (Kashmiris) will become.” “The basic reason of hurting of religious sentiments and endangering of their life and dignity is their slavery because there is no reverence of the life, dignity and emotions of slave nations,” Shah said.
