SRINAGAR: Lambasting chief minister for terming Syed Ali Geelani as a threat to peace, MLA Langate, Engineer Rasheed Monday said that he was ready to give assurance to Omar Abdullah to set Geelani free.
Geelani is the voice of people and represents the aspirations of people. It is Omar Abdullah and his masters in New Delhi which are disturbing peace in Valley, Rasheed was quoted as saying by the CNS news agency.
Rasheed said that Geelani never instigated people for stone pelting.
He said, it was absurd on part of Omar Abdullah to seek assurance from people the he will set him free if no stone-pelting incidents occur. I want to ask Omar Abdullh that give me a single instance when Geelani told people to resort to stone pelting. It is the ultimate reality the Geelani is representing the voice of people in Kashmir and Omar is scared of him, he said.
Engineer Rasheed said that Geelani was a tall leader and he should be given space to preach his political ideologies. Why government is not allowing him to move freely and talk to people freely. These are the lame excuses on part of Omar Abdullah that instigates people for stone-pelting. The fact is that New Delhi and state government are scared of Geelani, he said. (CNS)
