It is the worst kind of state terrorism which the Kashmiri nation is facing since last 68 years.
Jammu and Kashmir has been converted into a major jail and the people of this state feel suffocated in this situation. Geelani said that the policy of the Indian government with respect to Kashmir is increasing the political uncertainty and instability in the state.
Meanwhile, Geelani expressed his deep grief and sorrow over the death of Khursheed Ahmad nephew of Tehreek-e-Hurriyat acting chairman and general secretary Mohammad Ashraf Sehrai.
Khursheed Ahmad was ill since last a year. Sehrai was although under house detention since Monday evening but he was released after his nephew died and he himself led the funeral prayers of Khursheed Ahmad at Tikkipora Lolab.
While praying for the deceaseds peace, Geelani in his condolence message from New Delhi said that they equally share the grief of the affected family and pray to Almighty Allah to grant them patience to bear this great loss. (KNS)
