Transfer of land to Indian army dangerous: Hurriyat (G)

Srinagar: Hurriyat Conference led by jailed Syed Ali Shah Geelani Monday said that it would come up with a detailed report about the “dangerous” transfer of land to Indian army on permanent basis in Jammu and Kashmir.

A spokesman of the Hurriyat Conference told Press Bureau of India that a meeting of ‘Majlis Shora’�highest decision making body of the amalgam� was conveyed here under the chairmanship of acting general secretary ‘General’ Musa.

The meeting, he said, discussed threadbare the permanent transfer of land to army in Jammu and Kashmir.

 “Hurriyat Conference has decided to launch a vigorous campaign to acquaint people about this dangerous conspiracy,” he said.    

“The members observed that the matter was more serious than the transfer of land to Amarnath and a team of the Hurriyat Conference was constituted which would put detailed report before the Majlis shora in a stipulated time,” the spokesman added.

Accordingly, he said, the matter would be discussed with people from different walks of life before a final action plan is drafted. “The action plan will be brought before the people at an appropriate time,” he added.

Meanwhile, the spokesman said that the amalgam has taken strong exception to the statement by Director General of Police in which he termed premature the release of resistance leaders in the state.

“The statement is a proof that the establishment of democratically elected government in the state is mere delusion and farce. Jammu and Kashmir is practically a police state where police, security agencies and army take all decisions,” he said, adding, “The articulation of policy statement by police has no place in democratic system and should have come, albeit for sake only, through the civil government.” (PBI)
