Chairman Tehreek-e-Hurriyat and Hurriyat (G), Syed Ali Geelani Wednesday expressed concern over the participation of Kashmiri girls in Army-sponsored tours.
According to a press release issued by Tehreek-e-Hurriyat, Geelani “expressed deep sorrow over the conscience of those parents who send their daughters on the Indian army sponsored tours”.“This army is involved in hundreds of gang rape cases in Kashmir and people who hand over their daughters in the hands of such cruel and rapist forces should die of shame,” Geelani said during a seerat conference organized by it at its Hyderpora head office.
The Hurriyat (G) chairman said Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and other such groups do not represent Islam.
“They are killing innocent people. It is against the teachings of Islam. These forces are the creation of imperialistic powers and the anti-Islam forces which are working to engage Muslims in the name of Shias and Sunnies,” Geelani said.
He said Islam allows war only with a condition that it is fought to liberate the oppressed. “The Prophet of Islam (SAW) formulated unique and eternal laws of war that the killing of an innocent person is the murder of whole humanity and saving the life of a single human is the worth protection of the whole humanity.”
“Prophet Muhammad (SAW) came with the message of peace, prosperity, justice, equality and brotherhood. He taught us to fight against those people who believe in oppression,” Geelani said.
Tehreek-e-Hurriyat General Secretary Mohammad Ashraf Sehrai, Hurriyat (G) spokesman Ayaz Akbar, Moulana Bashir Ahmad Farooqi and renowned scholar Altaf Hussain Nadvi spoke on the occasion. Personal secretary to chairman Peer Saifullah performed the duties of dice in-charge.
On the occasion the senior Hurriyat Conference leaders Agha Sayed Al-Safvi Al-Mousvi, Ghulam Ahmad Gulzar, Mohammad Rafiq Ganai, Raja Mehraj-ud-din, Mohammad Yousuf Mujahid, Nisar Hussain Rather, Mir Hafizullah, Ameer Hamzah Shah, Mohammad Yousuf Lone, Mohammad Shaban Dar, Tashauq Ahmad Banday, Shakeel Ahmad Yatoo, Ghulam Mohi-ud-din Andrabi, Ghulam Mohammad Khan Sopori and Abdul Rasheed lone were also present.
While terming the ban on the literature of Syed Qutub Shaheed and Moulana Syed Abu Alla Maudoodi as unfair and childish, Geelani said pen should be answered with pen. “And people who are dreaming of defeating the pen with the force and gun are living in fool’s paradise and they will never succeed in their nefarious designs”.
