Urges Jammu Muslims to protest on Eid
Srinagar: Hurriyat Conference (G) chairman Syed Ali Geelani Tuesday expressed his deep concern over the incidents of stone pelting during the Shab-e-Qadr (Holy Night Of Qadr) in some parts of Srinagar and intimidation of the local Muslim population in Chenab Valley.
Miscreants involved in such incidents are known and there are no doubts that members of Village Defence Committees are involved in these incidents, he said in a statement here today.
Demanding dissolution of VDCs Geelani appealed people in Jammu province to demonstrate and protest after Eid ul Fitr prayers against the highhandedness of members of these committees. He blamed VDC members for their mischievous behaviour and alleged that they were terrorizing the local Muslims and have created turmoil like situation in Chenab valley.
Since these committees are directly under the influence of Sangh forces their main aim remains to compel local Muslims to vacate these areas in order to make them free of Muslim community, he said.
Geelani claimed that several officers appointed to key positions are affiliated to communal ideology and do not listen to Muslims or redress their grievances. Instead of providing relief to effected Muslim community they feel satisfaction and joy and extend every possible support to these communal elements for that they think that they are doing the good job, he said.
There is nothing denying the fact that some sections are hell-bent to isolate the Chenab Valley, Poonch and Rajori from their brethren in Kashmir Valley. However, now no more distances exist between Chenab and Kashmir valleys, Geelani said. People in (Kashmir) Valley share their pain, understand their agonies and stand with them.
The Hurriyat (G) chairman reaffirmed his faith and announced that they wont allow repeating the history and episode of 1947. While blaming RSS and Sangh Parivar, Geelani said that are trying to create differences between the two communities.
