Srinagar, May 11, 2018: Repeated statements by Army and police has at least confirmed our stand that state of Jammu and Kashmir is s police state, governed and managed by men in uniform and they often make announcements beyond their professional domain, Hurriyat G chairman, Syed Ali Geelani said in a statement issued today.
Commenting on the recent statement of Army chief, Geelani said that it is arrogant, egoistic and expression of the brute mindset based on military might.
“It should be more than clear to these rulers that our movement is not a campaign for any emoluments, perks or privileges, nor is it to make a way to the power corridors. It is a mass movement representing the uprising against the unrealistic, undemocratic and unjustified occupation,” said Geelani.
Hurriyat chairman said as a nation we can’t even think of surrender or submission. We would prefer to vanish but never accept and legitimize the forceful occupation.
Meanwhile, Hurriyat G spokesman in a separate statement lashed out at the state administration and police for again barring its chairman Syed Ali Geelani from offering congregational Friday prayers today, terming it as “interference in the religious affairs.”
The spokesman also repeated arbitrary curbs and restrictions in Srinagar and lockdown of central Jamia Masjid and other mosques of the city.
