SRINAGAR The pro-Indian politicians have turned into political leaches and Jammu and Kashmirs young generation is determined to get out of the unholy yolk of slavery at any cost, chairman Hurriyat Conference (G) Syed Ali Geelani said on Wednesday.
When young blood is so enthusiastic to achieve their goal, no power on earth can force them to subjugation, said Geelani in a telephonic address to the mourners of the Dr. Shams-ul-Haq at Soghan Shopian.
Geelani also reiterated pledge to take the movement to its logical end and will never allow anybody to barter the precious blood of martyrs.
We need to be aware of this and we are duty bound to safe guard their sacrifices and should desist from such activities which prove detrimental for our movement, he said.

Pro-Indian politicians have turned into political leaches, sucking every drop of our blood to satisfy their masters in Delhi, Geelani said, adding, Election drama and the multi faced political stooges pose as our saviors to fetch them votes in the name of roads, electricity and water, but in reality they are the people who strengthen the unholy bond of slavery so nation as a whole should desist from any support to them.
According to a statement issued here, Geelani said that the ongoing movement has become so precious that no perk and privilege can compel us for any compromise.
Stressing upon people in general and youth in particular, the Hurriyat Gonference chairman said that there was need to strengthen faith and protect civil, social, religious and human liberties and avoid miss deeds.
There is need to nourish the Islamic culture in our homes and society without indulging in sectarian hatred and social evils, he added.
