Srinagar: After Jama’at-e-Islami
sent a formal letter to its de-facto basic member (Rukun) and Chairman
Tehreek-e-Hurriyat, Syed Ali Geelani last week while Geelani was still in Delhi
for medical checkup asking him to clear his stand on Hyderpora property issue,
sources in the Geelani led Hurriyat informed Kashmir Life that a formal reply
is ready and shall be dispatched to Jama’t Wednesday evening or early Thursday.
Pertinently,
in a first, Geelani had last month announced transferring his Hyderpora
residence and office building to an 8 member trust (Milli Trust headed by him)
which was severely ridiculed by his parent organization Jama’at-e-Islami
claiming that the property belonged to Jama’at not Geelani.
Sources
in the Jama’at said that a letter was sent to its former acting Ameer (President) last week asking him to
clear his position on the said property. “JeI after properly scanning its
credentials and taking its shoora (advisory council) on board has sent a letter
to Syed Geelani. We have asked for a meeting over the issue,” a JeI insider
told Kashmir Life.
However,
Hurriyat (G) sources said that their reply to the letter from JeI shall resolve
the issue in one go. “We have prepared our answer to the letter and we shall be
dispatching it only this evening or next morning,” a close aide of Geelani told
Kashmir Life.
When
Hurriyat patriarch announced his decision to transfer the property to the
trust, just after some days he flew to Delhi.
JeI in
its statement termed Geelani’s decision “historically wrong” claiming the
property belonged to Jama’at not Geelani.
Geelani
on the other hand claimed that he bought the Hyderpora property from one a lady
who belonged to Budgam district on Augut 8, 1995.
Geelani
after a formal agreement, with his parent organization Jama’at-e-Islami,
flouted his own political party, Tehreek-e-Hurriyat on August 07, 2004. After
hectic deliberations, Geelani was allowed to take human as well as non human
resource from JeI.
