| | | | Will Jamat-e-Islami pull out from Geelani's Hurriyat? | | | |
Early Times Report
Jammu, Apr 11: One year has passed since Jamat-e-Islami indicated that it may pull out from Hurriyat (G) of which it is a constituent. A Jamat spokesman had made clear that the pull out will take effect in April 2011. But the party seems in no position to `desert' the conglomerate even today.
Political circles ascribe various reasons to Jamat silence. According to them Geelani is very strong and pull out from his faction of the Hurriyat may be suicidal for the organization.
The killing of Jamait-e-Ahlihadees president, Moulana Showkat Shah in a landmine explosion outside a mosque in Gaw Kadal, Srinagar last year in April is another reason for delaying the pull out. ... | |
