Srinagar: Strongly condemning the restrictions over the funeral prayers in absentia for the late pro-freedom leader Amanullah Khan, imposing curfew in Lalchowk and adjoining areas and detention of many pro-freedom leaders and activists by the police, Chairman All Parties Hurriyat Conference Syed Ali Geelani said that the government action is not only a worst kind of state terrorism but it also amounts to direct interference into our religious affairs and it will not be tolerated in any ways.
He said that every deceased person is respected in a civilized society and his last rites arent bothered by anyone whatsoever differences are with him. Geelani said that the government of Jammu & Kashmir has no respect for the laws or the moral values and this state is practically ruled by the martial law. The people of this region are barred to follow their faith and even the funeral prayers are banned here. While expressing his dismay over the attitude of the PDP-BJP coalition government, Geelani said that by not allowing the funeral prayers of Amanullah Khan Sahab the government had committed a great sin which will not be forgiven by the Almighty Allah. He also strongly condemned the attitude of the state police for trying to act as more loyal than the king and said that they had established a Gunda Raj (hooliganism) in the state. (CNS)
