Srinagar: Hurriyat Conference (G) on Thursday termed government’s claim about withdrawal of security to its chairman Syed Ali Geelani as “brazen lie” and said that it should be ashamed of making such a claim.
While commenting on government’s decision on withdrawal of security to Syed Ali Geelani said, a spokesman said in statement that this was a brazen lie and such a “ridiculous” report need only to be laughed at.
“Hurriyat said that Delhi rulers and their local stooges always try to hoodwink the world by this unrealistic and false propaganda and clarified that Geelani Sahab was neither provided any security nor has he requested for it,” a spokesman of the amalgam said.
“He (Geelani) continues to be confined in his house for the last nine years but forcibly occupying the gates and then claiming it to be the security is such a ridicules report government and its agencies should be ashamed of.”
Hurriyat Conference said that similar “false statement” was aired by “jingoistic” media channels in 2014 floods when they claimed that “staunch anti-India and pro-freedom leader Syed Ali Geelani was rescued by Indian army” but this brazen lie was exposed when everybody here knew that Geelani’s residence was safe and no water logging was in that area.”
