BJP emissaries met me, rejected their offer<\/strong><\/p>\n

Srinagar:<\/strong> Reiterating his call poll boycott call against the forthcoming elections in valley, Huriyat Conference (G) Chairman Syed Ali Geelani\u00a0Friday\u00a0called for a complete shutdown on\u00a0April 21\u00a0against the police crackdown on the pro-freedom camp here at large.<\/p>\n

According to the KNS correspondent, Geelani after returning from New Delhi on April 16 addressed the press conference at his Hyderpora residence wherein he made some important revelations including the reasons behind some separatist groups praising BJP\u2019s Prime Ministerial Narendra Modi.<\/p>\n

\u201cThose who have said that Modi\u2019s policy after he becomes PM regarding Kashmir would be Kashmir friendly and those who are issuing statements in Modi favor have actually met Modi\u2019s men in Kashmir,\u201d Geelani said, adding\u00a0\u00a0Modi had sent his people to various pro freedom leaders including him who tried him to get \u2018commitment from Modi vis-\u00e0-vis \u00a0Kashmir resolution.<\/p>\n

Geelani stated that two pundits came to meet him on March 22 to get his commitment on Kashmir. The senior separatist stated that he rejected the proposal \u2013rebuking them that neither Modi nor his party has any policy on Kashmir settlement.<\/p>\n

Castigating Kashmir\u2019s mainstream, Geelani stated the parties are justifying India\u2019s \u2018illegal\u2019 occupation in Kashmir and that there representation can in no way be termed as legitimate.<\/p>\n

Reiterating his poll boycott call, Geelani stated that it is the right of Kashmir\u2019s separatist leadership to hold boycott rallies. He accused that polls in Kashmir are being held under the shadows of guns and that those who said that gun is no solution to Kashmir issue must know that India has occupied this land at the gun point.<\/p>\n

\u201cWrong notion is being given about the polls in Kashmir by India and that need of the hour is to aware people about the issue so that boycott call could become successful in Kashmir.<\/p>\n

While slamming the state authorities over cracking whip on Kashmir\u2019s pro-freedom camp, Geelani stated that the massive crackdown has been lunched against the activists and leaders of the separatist groups and that is being suppressed everyday through various forceful tactics.\u201d<\/p>\n

Appealing people to observe complete shutdown on\u00a0April 21\u00a0against the detention of separatist leaders in Kashmir stated that the tall claims of democracy are getting nullified by the acts in which the leaders are been either kept under house detention or lodged in various police stations across valley.<\/p>\n

With the poster behind glued on the wall-showing Geelani addressing boycott rallies, the octogenarian leader while issuing the poll boycott calendar said, \u201cOn\u00a024 April, civil curfew in South Kashmir will be observed. Central Kashmir on\u00a030th April\u00a0will observe civil curfew and also in North Kashmir on\u00a07th May.\u00a0Besides, we appeal people to hold protests a day before they go for polls from Magrib to Isha.\u201d Also people were asked to sit at home on poll days.\u00a0(KNS)<\/p>\n
