India adopting Israeli policy in Kashmir: Geelani | Syed Ali Shah Geelani, the Chairman of the
hardline faction of the All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC), on Monday alleged
that India is following policies of Israel and trying to change the demography
of the Himalayan region. Addressing reporters here, Geelani accused India of occupying
agricultural land for setting up army camps there. " India is following footsteps
of Israel and trying to convert majority community into minority. Locals have
been deprived of their lands. Deforestation is taking place. India is trying to
change the demography of the region," said Geelani. He also pointed out that tens
of thousands acres of lands have been occupied by Indian forces for their camps
and headquarters. Geelani added that Hurriyat would hold strike and shutdown to
protest against illegal occupation of Indian army. "We will observe a shutdown
and protest in every district, including the northern and southern region of the
valley," he said. Geelani also informed Shopian town would observe the first shutdown
on October 23. Asiya (17) and her sister-in-law Neelofar (22) were raped and killed
in Shopian during the intervening night of May 29-30. After the news conference,
Hurriyat supporters tried to hold a demonstration before the police prevented
them. Police also arrested several people for breaking law and order. |
