| Registration of case against Geelani no solution | | Needed: A stringent Action April 20 | | Neha
JAMMU, Apr 21: Jammu & Kashmir Police did well on April 20 to register a case under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act against pro-Pakistan Hurriyat Conference leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani for calling for a boycott of election. "A case under Section 13 of Unlawful Activities Act has been registered against Geelani in police station Budgam," a police spokesman said. He did not divulge any further details. Geelani had given the alleged boycott call during a Press meet on Friday last. He had said during the press conference that people have a right to stay away from polls just like they have the right to vote. He had also called for "civil curfew" on April 24, 30 and May 7 when voting will be held for the Kashmir's three Lok Sabha constituencies of Anantnag, Srinagar and Baramulla, respectively.
Registration of a case against Geelani also is just not enough. Other Kashmiri separatists, including APHC-M Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, JKLF chief Yasin Malik, the so-called Mahatma Gandhi of Kashmir, and Jammu & Kashmir Democratic Freedom Party leader Shabir Ahmad Shah, the so-called Nelson Mandela of Kashmir, besides a number of the so-called civil society members in the Valley, have also called for poll boycott. Infact, Malik and Shah have been campaigning in their own way to persuade the Kashmiris not to participate in the election. They are, in effect, trying to help out the ruling NC, which has fallen from grace and lost the people's confidence for obvious reasons. It would have been had they also been booked and brought to justice as per the law of the land.
Geelani and others of his ilk have not only instigated the gullible Kashmiris to boycott the polls, they have also been working overtime against the Indian state. They are all seditionists and their place is undoubtedly jail. But the NC-Congress coalition will not act against them because its own ideology is highly primitive, regressive and against the other. It is the duty of the Union Government to intervene and take some concrete action against these seditionists so that a moral effect could be produced in the Valley, the trouble spot and hub of anti-national activities.
