Srinagar, May 1: JKPM leader and JNU student activist Shehla Rashid Shora has wished good health to Hurriyat Conference (G) chairman Syed Ali Geelani.
In a statement she said that Geelani has sacrificed a lot for the people of Jammu and Kashmir, especially with regard to safeguarding the special status of the state. She said, “There have been several attempts to weaken the special status of the state, and usurp the land rights and other safeguards available to the state subjects of Jammu & Kashmir. It is leaders like Geelani sahab who have remained vigilant and led the people of the state under such circumstances. We pray for his long life and recognise his contributions.”
She added, “While we have fundamental differences as parties, one cannot deny the sacrifices and contributions made by the veteran leader. If it weren’t for the resistance movement led by Geelani Sahab and others, our generation would not have been aware of our rights..
