SrinagarSyed Ali Geelani on Friday denounced sealing of Jamia Masjid, laying restrictions and placing resistance leadership under house arrest.
It is unacceptable and unjustified, said Geelani and added that local administration is practically nonexistent while as those sitting in Nagpur rule the roost.
Geelani who continues to be under house arrest since past several years, blamed authorities for waging war against people.
Strongly criticizing unjustified house arrest of Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, Mohamad Ashraf Sehrai, Shabir Ahmad Shah, Ayaz Akbar, Mohamad Ashraf Laya, Geelani said that they are continuously being put under house arrest by authorities and barred from offering their religious obligations.
Criticising state administration for their double dealing and fascist mindset, Geelani said that on one hand huge expenses are being incurred and special provisions are being made to facilitate (Amarnath) Yatra and on the other, restrictions and curfew like restrictions are imposed and people bared from offering prayers even on Jummat-ul-Vida.
Syed Ali Geelani demanded immediate release of all detainees before Eid festival, & said that hundreds of leaders and activists have been lodged in far-flung areas of Jammu.
Terming the approach of authorities as sheer extremism, Geelani added that infamous PSA is being repeatedly slapped on political activists.
