him State Chopper for New Delhi. Sources said that both the officials had a
detailed conversation with the ailing leader.

Geelani rejected their offer and thanked them for their good gesture. When
contacted, Hurriyat G spokesperson Ayaz Akbar said that DC Srinagar and DC
Budgam arrived at Geelani’s Hyderpora residence and requested him to use the
service of government chopper.
“Geelani sahib
rejected their offer and said that the move cannot be justified at a time when

mainstream politicians who leave no stone unturned to make the Indian rule
strong here,” he said.
