Hurriyat Conference Chairman Quaid -e-Inqlab Janab Syed Ali
Shah Geelani Sahib on Thursday called for a general strike on June 25 when Prime
Minister Manmohan Singh arrived in Maqbooza Jammu and Kashmir to press for the
“right to self- determination “for the people of the state. “I appeal to the
people of the state to observe a complete general strike on the day the Prime
Minister arrives here”, he told reporters at his residence here. He said the
strike will be observed to remind Government of India and the world that
Kashmir is a dispute pending a resolution. "Besides, we also want to press
for our demand for return of mortal remains of Shaheed Mohammad Afzal Guru and Shaheed
Mohammad Maqbool Bhat to their legal
heirs for burial according to Islamic rites," he said. The Prime Minister
is scheduled to visit the state on June 25 to inaugurate the Qazigund-Banihal link
of the Kashmir rail project. On reports of threat to Amarnath Yatra, Janab Geelani
Sahib said the government's claim of threat to the Yatra was apolitical stunt aimed
at maligning the freedom struggle of Kashmiris.
