| Cleric's killing delay's JI's decision on ties with Hurriyat (G) | | | Early Times Report
jammu, April 23: Jamiat-e-Ahlihadees Chief, Moulana Showkat's murder seems to have deferred Jama't-e-Islami's decision on its future relationship with Geelani's Hurriyat Conference. On February 6, the Amir (Chief) of Jama't said that the party may pull out of Hurriyat (G) by April. He also ruled out the possibility of joining Hurriyat (M).
The Jama't took strong exception to Geelani's biography by Dr Shafi Shariti which was released last year. The Jama't had accused the author of maligning the image of the organization. "The author has tried to project Jama't-e-Islami as a pro-Indian political party. He has further mentioned that Jama't was fed by Indian intelligence agencies. This is intolerable. The book has blown a particular person out of proportion. However, the organization that groomed that person has been ridiculed and condemned", he said.
The spokesman also condemned what he called `criminal and shameful silence' of Geelani. "He should have set the records rights and given the author a befitting reply", he said. The Jama't even considered expelling Geelani from the organization. Geelani responded by issuing a disclaimer. "The views expressed are author's own. I do not subscribe to it." The book Quaid-e-Inqilaab: Eak Tehreekh Eak Tareekh (Leader of revolution: A movement, A history) shook Jama't-e-Islami forcing it to boycott future meetings of the separatist conglomerate of which it is an important constituent. Jama't did not react to the disclaimer. Geelani also said that he did not subscribe to the authors views. "But I uphold the freedom of speech and expression. We cannot curb a writer's freedom." It was not, however, a total surrender from Geelani. "I can have differences with individuals (members of the Jama't)." Geelani led a revolt against Jama't leadership when Ghulam Muhammad Bhat was its Amir. Geelani accused Bhat of dancing to the tune of Investigating Bureau (IB). He also took Bhat to task for burying literature produced by the Institute of Kashmir Studies (IKS) which was an extension of Jama't-e-Islami. Geelani lost his cool again when Jama't led by Bhat divorced Hizbul Mujahideen. It was during Bhat's regime that Jama't dared to disown its military wing. |
