| Geelani better dead than alive: Sajad Lone | | The unforgivable son! | | Early Times Report
Jammu, May 21: It was the 19th death anniversary of the father of Peoples Conference, chairman Sajad Gani Lone, on Friday. On this day, Lone cast direct jibe at the separatist Syed Ali Shah Geelani in his tweet, terming him better dead than alive. In a series of tweets, Lone, a former cabinet minister in PDP-BJP coalition, said on Friday those who opposed his father and created a false narrative that ended up in his killing saw what his father was mercifully spared from seeing. “But what gives me some solace is that those who opposed him and created that false narrative that culminated in my father being killed- that crowd some of them still alive were better dead than alive. They saw what my father was mercifully spared from seeing,” Lone tweeted. He said the worse form of oppressors are those who oppress under the fig leaf of fighting oppression. “As long as we do not stop collectively lying especially on who killed whom we as people will continue to be in the state that war. People deserve to know-oppressors have many forms. And the worse form of oppressors’ are those who oppress under the fig leaf of fighting oppression,” Lone tweeted.
Lone said his father left as a hero and his death symbolized dignity and sacrifice. “My father left when dying the way he did symbolised dignity symbolised sacrifice. He went at the right time. He left as a hero,” Lone tweeted.
Meanwhile, such a statement sparked a large scale debate on social media about Lone’s direct assault possibly on the separatist Syed Ali Shah Geelani and his ilk. There were many netizens who hailed Lone’s courage for calling spade a spade without any hindrance.
Lone had accused Geelani and Pakistani ISI of being responsible for his father’s death when the Geelani visited Lone’s residence to offer his condolences.
Underlining the need to constitute a committee by Hurriyat Conference to probe the killing of his father, Sajjad Lone said that Syed Ali Shah Geelani, who was former chairman of the conglomerate, was creating the same environment which, he (Geelani) viciously created before the assassination of his father Abdul Gani Lone. He also charged Geelani with issuing statements by every possible militant outfit against People''s Conference leaders. Before his death on May 21, 2002, Abdul Gani Lone had a tiff with hardliner Syed Ali Shah Geelani. While Lone pushed for the ouster of foreign militants from the Valley, Geelani had always welcomed them.
Now, 19 years later, Sajad Lone seems not to have forgiven Geelani for actions that led to his father’s killing. The million dollar question is whether Mirwaiz will spill the beans? |
