Srinagar: Policemen deployed outside the residence of Hurriyat leader Syed Ali Geelani were left red faced when octogenarian leader, without following their directions, came out of his residence and reached Jamia Masjid Hyderpora to participate in Nazool-i-Quran conference.
A CNS report quoting highly places sources said that all the constables deployed there have been placed under suspension.
According to reports, Nazool-i-Quran conference was supposed to be held on Sunday at Hurriyat (G) headquarters located in Hyderpora Srinagar. Police as usual sealed all the roads leading to Hurriyat headquarters and did not allow anyone to proceed towards the residence of Syed Ali Geelani.
When all our efforts to persuade police failed, we decided to organize the conference at Jamia Masjid Hyderpora. People assembled there and the conference started one hour late. All the people present in the Masjid were surprised when Geelani Sahab made his entry into the Masjid, Hurriyat spokesperson Ayaz Akbar said.
Reports said that no top official was present at the time when Geelani came suddenly out from his residence. Geelani directed his driver to proceed and all the policemen present there could not stop them.
The policemen told Geelani sahib that they would contact high command but Geelani did not listen to them and left for the Masjid. No policeman dared to touch him, Akbar said.
Sources said that all those policemen deployed outside the residence of Geelani have been put under suspension. However, no police official confirmed this. (CNS)
