GK NEWS NETWORK
Srinagar, July 21: Asking people to
observe Youme-e-Taqadus-e-Quran on Monday, Hurriyat (G) chairman Syed Ali
Geelani has said that there would, however, be no strike tomorrow. He appealed
religious scholars and Imams of Masjids to offer congregational Fateah prayers
for those killed in BSF firing in Gool, Ramban on Thursday. He also urged
people to stage peaceful protests after Zuhar prayers. “There would
be no strike tomorrow, however, I urge people to stage peaceful protests after
Zuhar prayers on Monday,” Geelani told Greater Kashmir over phone.
Meanwhile, according to a statement
issued here, Geelani said religious scholars and Imams should explain and
highlight the tragic event of “desecration of holy Quran” and make people aware
that everybody is duty bound to fight the elements who have risen against
Islam. “All religious scholars and Imams of Masjids should observe Monday as
Youm-e-Taqadus-e-Quran (Sanctity Day for holy Quran) and lead congregational
Fateah prayers for those who lost their lives in Gool carnage,” Geelani said.
Geelani appealed people to stage
peaceful protests after Zuhar prayers on Monday against the Gool killings.
Geelani said that Chief
Minister Omar Abdullah has unleashed terror by arresting hundreds of youth who
were protesting against the Gool incident. “Scores of protesters were seriously
injured by bullets and pellets. The arrested youth were being subjected to
severe torture in police stations,” he said. Geelani
said the ongoing resistance movement started in 1931 when Muslims of Jammu
protested and raised their voice against the desecration of holy Quran.
Geelani said the Gool incident is
not the first of its kind but forces from the day one have committed such
sacrilegious acts in Jammu and Kashmir. “But so far, not a single official has
been punished or questioned,” he said. “In such situations, it is obligatory for Muslims to resist and do their best to demand
demilitarization,” he said.
“The people of Jammu,
especially of Gool area should in no way support pro-India politicians who for
the lust of power legitimize their occupation and are hand-in glove with those
who desecrated holy Quran,” he said.
