Words contradict with deeds; Geelani to National leadership

Editor

Hardline Hurriyat chairman Syed Ali Shah Geelani today said there was a “visible contradiction in words and deeds” of the national leadership.
Commenting on Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s speech on Saturday, he said, “Eighteen armed jawans will not be forgotten. Terrorism is a curse for humanity and we all need to join hands to combat it.”
He said they agreed with Modi that “terrorism is really a curse and India should not forget its soldiers’ sacrifices”.
“This response is quite natural and expected, but what concerns us is the dubious standards of these rulers who have gross and visible contradiction in their words and deeds,” Geelani said.
“When they use or sponsor violence for their own interests, they call it strategy. But if the same goes against their views, they confront it and label it as terrorism,” he said in a statement.
Geelani asked India to go through pages of history and said in 1971, India by its armed forces, architecturally devastated and split the newborn state of Pakistan.
“Was this not terrorism? In Sri Lanka a dreaded armed conflict and their people were operating from the Indian state, was this not terrorism.” Geelani said.” Mr. Modi’s “concern” about Balochistan and its interventionist policy has send tremors across its small neighboring countries,” he said.
The Hurriyat chairman said India has given a bad name of “cross border infiltration” to our legitimate and “just struggle” for our “basic right, right to self determination.
“It has unleashed every arsenal in their armory to crush and curb it, through every undemocratic and un-ethical means and we as a nation are subjected to the worst kind of state terrorism by India itself,” he said, adding that that Indian agencies legalize and justify the innocent killings in the “attire of national security”.
