Geelani calls for peacefull protests

Srinagar, Aug 4(KMW): Chairman of the Hurriyat Conference (G) Syed Ali Shah Geelani today made an appeal to people in Kashmir not to indulge in arson but demonstrate peacefully.

Addressing a press conference at his residence soon after he was released from custody, the 80-year-old leader said those indulging in stone pelting, burning offices, railway stations and vehicles "did not belong to the Kashmir movement" and were only causing harm to the issue.

Geelani, who was recently released from the custody by state government, asked people to undertake peaceful demonstrations and stage sit-in wherever they are stopped.

He said the widespread arson against public property was a reaction of youth against the Centre but this was going against the ethos of the cause.
