| APD leaves red-faced as separatists shut doors | | | Early Times Report
Srinagar, Sept 4: Hopes of restoration of peace in Kashmir, which is in the grip of unrest for nearly last two months, crashed here Sunday when the separatists refused to meet the visiting All Party Delegation (APD) that knocked their doors.
The Hurriyat Conference (G) chairman Syed Ali Geelani, who is under house detention, refused to open his door for the APD members who had arrived outside his residence at Hyderpora.
APD members including Sitaram Yechury, Sharad Yadav, Assadudin Owaisi, D Raja, Rajgopal Narayan and Fayaz Mir reached Hyderpora in the afternoon. However, Geelani did not open his door for them.
As the MPs were waiting outside Geelani's residence, a group of people appeared at the site and yelled slogans like "Go India, Go Back" and "We want freedom."
The MPs feeling embarrassed, rushed into their bulletproof vehicles, as their cavalcade crawled out of the lane leading to Geelani's residence. It took around ten minutes for the cavalcade to leave the spot as protesters walked in front of them.
It was finally when the protesters reached the main road that way could be made for the VIPs who rushed back to SKICC on lake Dal banks where their colleagues were discussing situation in Kashmir.
Hurriyat (M) chairman, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, who is under detention at Chashmashahi sub jail, refused to talk to Assadudiin Owaisi
Sources said Owaisi went inside the hut where Mirwaiz is detained and came out within a minute or two. As per reports Owaisi said that Mirwaiz categorically refused to talk to him.
Meanwhile, Sitaram Yechury, Sharad Yadav, other two members of the delegation reached Humhama sub jail to meet JKLLF chairman Mohammad Yasin Malik and DFP chief Shabir Shah. In the third setback for the APD, Malik, refused to talk to them.
Sources said that Yechury and Yadav went inside the hut where Malik is detained but came out within two minutes.
A JKLF spokesman said that Malik told Yechury and Yadav that he was not ready to talk under the "ambit of Indian constitution." Yehchury however said Malik thanked him for visiting him.
An APD member said it was in their "personal capacity" that they tried to meet the separatists as the state and central governments had not kept any such thing in their agenda for the 2-day visit of the MPs.
"What we got to know during discussion with the government here this morning was that talks with separatists where nowhere on agenda nor they discussed any such thing with us," said an APD member. |
