Srinagar. February 20 (KNO) : The Hurriyat Conference chairman Syed Ali Geelani on Tuesday strongly condemned the killing of elderly Syed Habib Ullah in Astanpora Soibugh. It is a cold-blooded murder, said Geelani, saying forces, laced with unbridled powers and impunity under the cover of black laws, are trigger-happy and kill Kashmiris whenever and wherever they wish to, as has been witnessed in the last even decades. Strongly condemning the killing of a civilian, Syed Ali Geelani stressed for stringent action against killers and demanded probe into the killing by “impartial” agencies. While extending his heartfelt condolences and sympathies with the family members of slain Syed Habib-u-Ullah, Geelani said that we stand with them and prayed for eternal peace to departed soul.
Rejecting the police version about the killing, Syed Ali Geelani said these statements are issued to befool people and added that instead of taking any action against killers, confusing statements are issued to save these murderers. “Since there is no accountability, thousands of Kashmiris have been killed in cold-blood and merciless manner and not even a single soldier or policeman involved has ever been brought to book or tried by law,” Geelani said. Blaming authorities and forces for their hooliganism, Geelani said that killing a Kashmiri has become an “ordinary thing for these trigger -happy killers because they have no accountability or the fear of facing justice.
They are enjoying immunity and carrying massacre of innocents under well thought out plan, added Geelani. “Indian rulers, along with their Kashmiri stooges in the form of so-called rulers are providing a legal cover to these killers and are hence equally responsible for these massacres,” he said, and appealed the peace-loving people of the world to wake up from their slumber and put pressure on India for stopping innocent killings. Srinagar, February 20: Hurriyat Conference Executive Body (Majlis Shora) Tuesday held a meeting in Srinagar under the chair of its secretary general Haji Gh Nabi Sumji and participants reviewed and discussed the prevailing grim situation in state including increasing human rightist abuses and denial of political space for resistance leadership by puppet authorities.
Executive council while paying tearful tributes to its slain executive member Mohammad Yusuf Nadeem, prayed for his eternal peace. Questioning the “criminal” silence adopted by state authorities over the killing of innocent Asifa and claiming state administration for shielding criminals accused in rape and murder of minor girl, executive council said that they “prefer to remain mum, which is extremely unfortunate and inhuman.
The executive council members blamed both administration and judiciary for their bias approach against Muslim community, saying their approach is undoubtedly discriminatory and unfair. While comparing Asifa and Damni cases, members blamed state chief minister for her insincere and callous approach, saying no civilised society on earth can tolerate and this brutal act could have shacked the conscience of those at the helm of affaires in any civilised society. It was observed that authorities instead of implementing a realistic and rightful approach, they are hatching conspiracies, saying that Asifa’s killing is a deliberate act and a well thought out conspiracy against Muslim community of Jammu, said members and added such inhuman acts are quite intolerable and unacceptable for people of state.
