Hurriyat Conference (G) chairman Syed Ali Geelani today condemned the detention of separatist leaders in their houses and at police stations and blanket ban on internet, terming the steps as 'state terrorism, interference in religious affairs and curbing of freedom of expression'. "The coalition government of PDP-BJP has converted the state into a major jail and has left the whole Kashmiri nation at the mercy of communal and fascist forces," the Hurriyat spokesman, in a statement today, quoted Geelani as saying while addressing different public delegations at his Hyderpora residence here. Geelani has lauded Kashmiris for following the tradition of Prophet Ibrahim (AS) on Eid and foiling the 'evil plans of the communal forces.' "The communal elements in Jammu region were conspiring to whip up Hindu-Muslim clashes on the Eid day and were trying to divert the attention from our freedom struggle but the Kashmiri Muslims showed extreme maturity and farsightedness in this matter and avoided every such act which could have helped the execution of the wicked plans of the communal people and led to communal tension," Geelani said. He condemned the continued detention of Shabir Ahmad Shah, Nayeem Ahmad Khan, Mir Hafizullah, Abdul Gani Bhat, Rayees Ahmad Mir, Muhammad Ashraf Laya, Qazi Yasir and several other separatist leaders. "The complete ban on internet isolated Jammu and Kashmir from the rest of the world and it was purposely done to hide the actual situation of this troubled state. India has held Jammu and Kashmir by using its entire state power and is trying hard to continue its forced control here. The state government is just for show and the state is directly ruled by Indian home ministry." Geelani said, adding that "There is no other option left for Kashmiris than to resist the forced control. Not only the lives and property of the common Kashmiris are in danger but their religion and culture are also threatened."
