ED notice politically motivated: Geelani

‘State sponsored tactics won’t deter us from pursuing our mission’

Srinagar:  Syed Ali Geelani on Sunday said that authorities are infuriated and are plotting to tarnish his image.

While terming the notice issued by Enforcement Directorate as unjustified and politically motivated, Geelani said that the move is an attempt to “pressurize and intimidate him and resistance leadership.
In a statement, Geelani said that Enforce Directorate has served a notice to Syed Ali Geelani and others in a fifteen-year-old case. Decrying the move as politically motivated, Geelani said that it is a pressure tactic.

According to Hurriyat, no foreign exchange was recovered from Geelani’s house in the raid of 2002 and refuting the charges by agencies, said that the council for Syed Ali Geelani in person has filled the rejoinder.

At Delhi, Hurriyat said that these state sponsored tactics won’t deter them from pursuing their mission. “These suppressive and aggressive measures will not make us surrender”, said Hurriyat.
Hurriyat, while referring to raids conducted in year 2002 said that “nothing incriminating was recovered & despite fifteen long years, nothing substantial was proved.

“Even now the Indian Investigation Agency (NIA) has started a malicious campaign against Syed Ali Geelani and his colleagues”, said the Hurriyat spokesman.

Kashmir is a political and human issue and it has an international status, said Hurriyat and added that India is creating hurdles in its peaceful resolution.

Asking Indian authorities to shun their rigid approach, Hurriyat added that Kashmir was a political and humane issue and as such coercive measures won’t solve this.
