Geelani said his amalgam had proof that government was planning to settle 498000 non-resident slum-dwellers.
“India is following Israeli tactics. In fact, both the issues were born at the same time and today you see 40 lakh Palestinians living as refugees in their own land,” he said.
“The puppet government says that they will raise houses for state-subjects, but these are hoax claims. State-subjects have a right in the constitution but under this garb, just like dogra certificate, the government is trying to settle slum-dwellers knowing the devastating impact they are having on our society.
“And this is the puppet government which is accusing us of exploiting youth, disrupting peace, when they are responsible for the slavery of people, filling colors in sketches of India,” he said.
“I want to ask them that it was your leader (National Conference founder, Sheikh Abdullah), who surrendered after 22 years for chair of chief minister, who passed the land grants bill which allots land to outsiders on lease for 90 years. The same man, who you are trying to project as hero today passed black laws like PSA, the land grants bill,” he said.
“Ironically it was the (last Dogra ruler) Hari Singh who passed a law that that non-residents cannot buy land here or property, but then the man who paved way for all this today his son, grandson, and other agencies and pro-India parties are filling the colours in sketches of India,” he said.
Geelani said the puppet government was raising hue and cry over environment protection while no attention was being paid towards the adverse impact on environment due to “uncontrolled” rush of yatra .
“No Kashmiri is against the annual Amarnath Yatra; we fed them when RSS backed fanatics had imposed a blockade on us in 2008, but we want the numbers of the pilgrims to be regulated just as there are restrictions (on the number of pilgrims) in Gangotri,” he said.
“The puppet government boasts of 6.5 lakh yatris visiting Kashmiris this year but nobody talks of the degrading effect it has on the environment.”
New Delhi is using cultural aggression to “prolong its occupation in Kashmir,” Geelani said the educational institutes were being “used” for the same. “Our boys and girls are lured to dance and stand up in esteem when jana gana mana is played, and this cultural aggression is more dangerous than forcible occupation,” he said.
Geelani said the media should give space to the “voice of oppressed”.
