Srinagar: Strongly condemning the killing of an innocent civilian Ghulam Hassan Bhat at Panzgam Kupwara by the government forces, All Parties Hurriyat Conference chairman Syed Ali Geelani demanded fair probe by impartial agencies.
Meanwhile Syed Ali Geelani has announced to hold a condolence meeting in the memory of slain civilian here in Panzgam Kupwara on April 30, Sunday. He has appealed people of the surrounding areas to participate in the event to pay tributes to slain Gh Hassan.
“This condolence meeting will be a tribute to the elderly civilian and in his appeal to people, Geelani asked to participate in the meeting in large number to protest against the brutal incident.
Rejecting the statement of DC Kupwara for initiating inquiry in the case, Geelani said that state level inquiry commissions are unacceptable as till now not a single culprit was prosecuted or brought to book.
While blaming forces, Geelani said that they are directly targeting civilians and unbridled state power is being enforced against innocents. He blamed state administration for unleashing violent measures against unarmed civilians. Syed Ali Geelani in his statement expressed his solidarity and sympathy with the family of slain Gh Hassan & said that government forces have virtually waged war against civilians and are carrying massacre under well thought plan.
While referring to recent statement of Indian army chief wherein Geelani said that those protesting during encounter would be treated as upper ground workers, Geelani said that egoistic and colonial approach of Indian politicians is the root cause of continuous bloodshed in state. Syed Ali Geelani blaming Indian authorities for mayhem in state, said that their inhuman policies are proving detrimental for civilians in state.
Geelani asked Indian authorities to show wisdom & accept the disputed status as it will pave way for lasting solution to the vexed dispute.
