Three Kashmiri separatists join Geelani group

Srinagar, Sept 9 (IBNS): In a major development in pro-freedom camp on Wednesday, three senior pro-freedom Kashmiri leaders have joined the Hurriyat group led by Syed Ali Geelani.

The chairman of pro-freedom Democratic Freedom Party Shabir Shah, National Front chairman Nayeem Ahmad Khan and prominent Shia cleric Aga Syed Hassan, who is also president of Anjuman-e-Sharie Shian -- announced that they have joined the Geelani-led Hurriyat group.

The decision was announced at Geelani`s uptown Hyderpora residence in Srinagar city at a press conference.

National Front chairman and senior resistance leader announced the participation of three leaders in the Hurriyat (G) and said that the unity is based on ideology. He said that the Islamic culture and identity of Kashmir is under attack.

“No one except Geelani can represent and lead us in this situation,” he said.

He said that Kashmir is not a law and order problem but an internationally accepted dispute and should be resolved in its historical perspective.

Shah and Khan had launched Hurriyat JK last year after differences with Hurriyat (M) chairman MIrwaiz Umar Farooq.

Agha Hassan was expelled from Hurriyat (M) for ‘maligning’ the image of the amalgam days after he expressed his ‘dissatisfaction’ over its functioning in June earlier this year.
