Disallowing foreign aid to Kashmir unjust: Geelani

SRINAGAR: Hurriyat Conference (G) Chairman Sayed Ali Geelani has claimed that on his appeal many Muslim countries, international Islamic organizations and individuals offered the large scale relief for the flood affected people of Jammu & Kashmir but India was placing unjustifiable restrictions in its way and it doesnt want this relief to reach the people.

According to a statement, Geelani said that if this relief would have reached the people, the rehabilitation of the flood affected people could have been completed in few months adding India wants to make Kashmiriis as dependents on its own aid so that their self-esteem and self-respect is bruised and their freedom sentiment neutralized.

Geelani expressed his satisfaction and happiness that many Muslim countries and international organizations including Pakistan, Iran, and Turkey have taken serious notice of the devastation caused by the flood fury in Kashmir and they have offered help but expressed sorrow that India was politicizing this human issue and doesnt want that the sufficient aid should reach Jammu & Kashmir people. It is the set plan of the policy makers of India that Kashmir should remain economically instable for years together and people should remain totally dependent even for the

granule on the Indian government.

Geelani alleged that the stopping or restricting of the international aid is equal to enforcing the economic blockade against the oppressed Kashmiris which doesnt have any moral and constructional justification and it is the worst kind of human rights violation.
