Srinagar: A day after United
Jihad Council (UJC) chairman, Syed Salahuddin, asked ‘sincere’ Hurriyat
leadership of Kashmir to get united and show door to the black sheep within
their ranks, two senior leaders of the parallel factions Monday asked the militant leader to come clear on the
issue.
Prof. Abdul Gani Bhat, while speaking to GNS
said: “It is a huge question that who is black sheep within Hurriyat.
Salahuddin should have named them,”
Bhat, who is known for his controversial
statements, said he that he is not averse to the unification of the pro-freedom
camp. He said he will be delighted to see a united leadership “It would be
better if the leaders unite,” he added.
Chairman of newly formed Hurriyat Conference
Jammu Kashmir (HCJK), Shabir Ahmad Shah, said it was not for the first time
that Salahuddin has made such an appeal. However, he also asked the Hizb chief
to name the black sheep among the pro-freedom ranks.
“It’s his long time wish that the sincere
leadership of Kashmir should get united. He has been requesting for unification
time and again,” he said
Shah said HCJK is negotiating with
‘pro-movement’ doctors, intellectuals, lawyers so that the amalgam would be
given a new direction. He said that HCJK has no differences with the Hurriyat
headed by Syed Ali Shah Geelani.
Shah, who was formerly associated with Hurriyat
headed by Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, left the amalgam and formed new Hurriyat along
with few top leaders of Miwaiz’s amalgam.
Syed Salahuddin, a pioneer of armed insurgency
in Kashmir; had said on Sunday that Hurriyat leadership was aware of the black
sheep within its ranks and even the people know about them.
“We must realize; that Kashmiri youth are
offering their blood day in and day out. And in honor of the precious lives of
our youth, the Hurriyat leadership must unite. The sincere Hurriyat leadership
that is sincere to its constitution should recognize each other and show door
to the black sheep,” he had said. (GNS)
