Police foil presser of Geelani, Hurriyat (G) says ‘will take legal action against NIA, media’

Srinagar,July 30 2017,CNS:Police on Sunday foiled an “emergency press conference” called by Hurriyat (G) chairman Syed Ali Geelani at his Hyderpora residence where he continues to remain under detention. 

A spokesman said the press conference was called against the “false and baseless allegation of Indian Investigative agency (NIA) and Indian biased media against Syed Ali Geelani, his family and his party men.” 

He said the press conference was called to aware the nation and the world about the reality of these allegations and to expose the “wicked agenda of RSS mindset behind this propaganda, but the police and the state administration prevented the press conference and didn’t allow the media to enter the residence of Geelani Sahab.” 

“The police and the state-administration in a bid to appease their masters in New-Delhi sealed off the entire residence-cum-office of Syed Ali Geelani and didn’t allow anybody to enter or to leave the office premises,” said the spokesman. 

He said the police and the state administration too are interested to keep the people in dark and prevent the truth to reach the public and to provide a one-sided chance to the “Indian biased media for character assassination of the pro-freedom leadership of Kashmir.” 

The pro-freedom leadership, he said, should also get a chance to counter the “baseless and venomous allegations of the Indian media against them”. 

“The state police and administration while giving first preference to their employment and salaries didn’t let the media to enter the residence of Geelani sahab.”

 He said Indian authorities resorted to character assassination of pro-freedom leadership and added that the services of agencies like NIA are being employed to defame and to delegitimize the real representative character of resistance camp.

“The reports and details of properties prepared by NIA, are quite fraud and added that biased media is propagating and promoting cooked and fabricated stories and contrary to this reality is quite different,” said the spokesman.

Denying the reports of NIA about properties allegedly amassed by Syed Ali Geelani and pro-freedom leadership, Huriyat said that “we are considering the details and will come with the actual figures to aware people and world community about the misinformation campaign and malicious propaganda of Indian authorities.”

Hurriyat Conference, he said, has decided to take legal action against the NIA and Indian media about the character assassination of its leaders and family members.

"…for which the Hurriyat Conference has started consultations with the legal experts regarding the issue."
