[Kashmir Times] Syed Ali Shah Geelani, chairman Hurriyat Conference (G), today threatened to intensify the ongoing public protests if the crackdowns against the people were not put to an end immediately.In a statement, he strongly condemned the re-introduction of crackdown, identification parade, arrests of youth and humiliating behaviour with women by police and forces. Geelani also appealed the people to foil such tactics of the government.
He asked the people to come out of their houses and not to allow the police and forces to conduct the crack down and other related actions. "I appeal the people to come out collectively out of their houses and protest and foil the attempts to arrest the youth," Geelani said.
He asked the men to remain on the forefront by forming a defence wall and by keeping the women behind so that forces personnel do not reach to them.
"Those in the crackdown must beat tin and raise slogans. Those outside the crackdown must also raise slogans and move to the area under crackdown. Doing so has become inevitable to save the youth from arrests and protect the honour of women," the Hurriyat (G) chairman said.
