Said Shoora will decide about Geelani’s successor
Srinagar: Reacting to the statement of
UJC chief Syed Salahu Din w herein he had stated that Hurriyat Conference (G)
chief’s close associate and Jama’at-e-Islami de-facto member, Muhammad Ashraf
Sehrai makes a ‘good successor of Syed Ali Geelani to lead the movement’,
Sehrai Monday while clarifying his stand, stated that he has no
interest in becoming Geelani’s Successor.
“I have never worked with Geelani Sahib for any
candidature or as a contender for the position of the Chairman. I can even work
as a gate keeper for a cause. Post is not important for me,” Ashraf Sehrai told
KNS over phone.
He maintained further that whenever the situation would
emerge when the amalgam has to choose Geelani’s successor- the same will be
done by he constitutional process and as per the constitutional norms of
Tehrek-e-Hurriyat.
Geelani’s close aid added that it is only the Shoora that
has full authority to choose the Chairman of TeH. While expressing surprise
over Hizb chief’s statement, Sehrai remarked that there has been no process going
on within his amalgam wherein deliberations could have been laid upon choosing
the successor of the senior separatist leader. “Geelani Sahib is in sound
health now- His health conditions have improved a lot- he even today addressed
a seminar for 30 minutes over phone from Delhi. No discussion over the issue of
successor is being discussed at present.”
“As far as the statement of Syed Salahuddin is concerned-
this could be his suggestion but for me the most important thing is to preserve
the cause- I can even work as a gate keeper of Tehreek-e-Huriyat for the same.”
Over the issue of Poll Boycott campaign launched by his
amalgam, Sehrai while expressing optimism that the people will not vote during
the forth coming polls, stated that the boycott campaign against the polls is
being done on the party levels and that so such initiative is being taken at
present to make it a unanimous effort. There is no initiative taken by
the either side so that the poll boycott campaign could be launched unanimously
here, said Sehrai, adding that till people are being informed about the
repercussions of voting on party basis by various pro-freedom groups.
Meanwhile, the chief spokesman of Hurriyat Conference (G)
Ayaz Akbar told KNS that the amalgam has regards to the role played by Syed
Salahuddin for the resistance movement here but as far as the issue of Syed Ali
Geelani’s successor is concerned- it is the constitution of Tehreek Hurriyat
that shall be followed during the process. “It is the shoora that has to choose
the chairman and every time the constitution shall be followed with letter and
spirit.” (KNS)
