Syed Ali Shah Geelani


Syed Ali Shah Geelani, Chairman of its own faction of All Parties Hurriyat Conference said the Kashmir freedom movement is heading towards logical end and India can not stop it by force now. Talking to APP on telephone from Srinagar, the veteran Kashmiri leader said the entire Kashmir is up against occupational forces and India has to resolve the Kashmir issue according to wishes of Kashmiris.

To a question, he said the movement of Kashmiris is not sponsored by foreign powers or elements and it is purely indigenous and peaceful.. Million of Kashmiris are on the march on the streets chanting slogans for freedom.

He said India can not ignore the demand to hold plebiscite in

Kashmir as it has promised several times in sixty two years history with

International community and Kashmiris. Holding of plebiscite is the only way to

know the wishes of Kashmiris, he said

To another question as what would be the future of present uprising, he said it is a not a new movement as Kashmiris have been struggling for the last sixty two years to seek right of self-determination. During this long history, he said thousands of Kashmiris either lost their lives or they are untraceable. The recent discovery of hundreds of unknown graves in occupied Kashmir is testimony to the fact that they were tortured to death.

Syed Ali Shah Geelani, who himself has spent a long period in jail, said Kashmir is a disputed territory and its future is yet to be decided. It is not an integral part of India, as New Delhi is claiming. The delaying tactics on the part of India to address this issue will fail, he added.

When asked about the campaign by Hindu extremists in Jammu region with regards to revocation of Amarnath land transfer order, he said it was unfortunate that Kashmiri Muslims are being targeted there. Condemning economic blockade of the valley by those elements, he said it is an eye opener for the world to see the difference in occupied Kashmir.

He said Kashmiri Muslims are determined to provide protection to all non- Muslims in Kashmir. They want to make Kashmir a land of peace, he said.

He said campaign of Kashmiris is peaceful and militancy has no role in it, he said.

He appealed to the world bodies to put pressure on India to address the Kashmir issue as per wishes of Kashmiris.

Gilani Sahab you are right in a way but the Ghandian way is not good path while dealing with an opposite enemy_ a system(Indian majority) which have assassinated Mohandas Karam Chand Ghandi even. I would suggest three points which even majority govt. will not be able to stant by that will put a Freedom Kashmir on its goal.
1. STOP HINDUES to visit Amarnath untill Kashmir got countryhood, we promise after freedom you could visit by your country visa safe and sound.
2. We will perform peaceful rallies, Kashmirs(civil servants of Kashmir) which are in police service shall remain on continuous leave of demand
3. Vote of International demand i.e; voting of people for freedom to international agencies.

and a last International message:
KASHMIR is a land of Kashmir's and our Tibet brother's need CHINA they are deprived of rights.
India need to concentrate on poverty,
leave us we want to live with freedom

Lone sahib please condemn on stone throwing. Our freedom struggle require
more peaceful direction with purpose and good results to end with Freedom.
