| NO RIFT WITH GEELANI: HM | | | Jammu,August 31 :- The reported rift between Tehrik Hurriyat Chief,Syed Ali Shah Geelani,and the Muzaffarabad based United Jehad Council Chief,Syed Salahuddin,has been laid to rest by Hizbul Mujahideen leadership which described these reports as “unfounded and baseless.”
A spokesman of Hizbul Mujahideen,Mr Ehsan Illahi,said,in a statement,that reports on Salahuddin-Geelani confrontation were concocted and baseless.He said that Hizbul Mujahideen had faith in the leadership of Mr Geelani who is one tall political figure in Kashmir who stuck to his stand on Kashmir during the last 50 years.
Mr Illahi said that the reports on rift between Geelani and Salahuddin had been manipulated to promote differences between the two and there was no truth in the report that the two exchanged hot words on telephone.
Inside reports said that Hizbul Mujahideen dominated United Jehad Council used to treat Syed Ali Shah Geelani as the political face of the ongoing armed struggle in Kashmir.However,some misunderstanding developed after Mr Salahauddin announced his desire to to assume a political role and get himself involved in the dialogue process.Though he imposed conditions for participating in the talks with Delhi,which included demiliarisation in Kashmir,release of all detenues and end to human rights violations,Mr Geelani is said to have not relished his pupil’s desire to dabble in politics.
Reports said that Syed Ali Shah Geelani had not reacted immediately to Mr Salahuddin’s desire to adopt a political role by participating in the dialogue but he did not remain confortable with Hizb stand on participation in the dialogue because the Tehrik Hurriyat Chief saw a threat to his leadership after maninstream political leaders and separatists welcomed Hizbul Mujahideen’s readiness for joining the dialogue process.
According to these reports, the level of conflict between the two leaders has been reduced to a great extent by some senior separatist leaders who interacted both with Mr Geelani and Mr Salahuddin. |
