Geelani assails Azad's statement KT News Service SRINAGAR, July 10: Paying tributes to the martyrs of July 13, chairman of Hurriyat (G) Syed Ali Shah Geelani said that the day is a historical tragedy, which teaches Kashmiris lesson about martyrdom.
He appealed people to observe complete shutdown on Friday, the July 13.
Describing chief minister Ghulam Nabi Azad's yesterday's statement as a result of "his mental bankruptcy", Geelani in a sarcastic way has said that those who live in glass houses must not throw stones on other's houses, and this may not be the attitude of a realistic person.
Geelani in a statement said that, what is happening in Pakistan may not be delightful situation for any visionary people; but to make the Pakistan's internal condition as an "excuse to advocate the military occupation of Kashmir" is not justifiable.
He added that this way CM is killing the right of people's right to self determination and is making fun of the ground realities, history and the democracy.
Taking dig at Azad, Geelani said that the present chief minister is ruling Kashmiris with the might of security forces and police not through the public support.
"Terming Kashmiris freedom struggle as a way leading to ignorance is to befool the people and Azad sahib is doing that unsuccessfully," Geelani said.
